Use of recycled aggregate concrete in structural members: a review focused on Southeast Asia

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 24

Published: Oct. 13, 2023

This article presents a comprehensive review on the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and (RAC) in construction, with emphasis structural applications identification challenges opportunities RCA/RAC materials Southeast Asia. For first time as step towards potential standardization Asia, critically examines physical mechanical performance RCA RAC applications. Global demand is projected to surpass 50 billion tons by 2025, major Asian countries accounting for 62% consumption. At same time, global annual production construction demolition waste (C&DW) exceeds 3.57 tons, Asia responsible 53% this total. Recycling C&DW plays crucial role addressing environmental issues promoting sustainable practices. Previous research indicates that exhibits certain deficiencies, strengths 10% 20% lower than natural (NAC). level, elements show reductions up 15% axial, bonding, shear, flexural relative NAC. Measures such treatment RCA, recycling process optimization, optimized mixing techniques are recommended enhance properties. Prioritizing during exploring novel strengthening could elevate improve make it suitable The also found efforts vary significantly across (particularly Asia), some lagging regarding technologies best Various strategies proposed discussed. main findings shortcomings previous investigations discussed, further needs identified.

The impact of the frequency content of far-field earthquakes on the optimum parameters and performance of tuned mass damper inerter

Structures, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 60, P. 105925 - 105925

Published: Jan. 23, 2024

Tuned mass damper inerter is a passive control device that proven to be effective in mitigating structural responses under earthquake excitations, however, its efficiency highly depends on design parameters. This paper aims investigate how the optimum parameters of TMDI change with frequency content far-field earthquakes minimize need for repeatedly optimizing these varying and characteristics. To achieve this objective, ratio earthquake's structure's defined as an index simultaneously represent structure earthquake. Case studies 5, 10, 15, 20-story building structures are analyzed twenty-three which categorized into three main groups based their (PGA/PGV) including “Low”, “Intermediate”, “High”. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) employed obtain damping two distinct objective functions: (1) peak displacement (2) acceleration top story time domain analysis. validate applicability proposed method determining optimal regardless frequency, 10-story benchmark employed. Moreover, study demonstrates effectiveness minimizing functions concerning It also illustrates trend PSO optimization process. The results show provides discernible pattern variation TMDI. Furthermore, it demonstrated difference response between tuning algorithm suggested less than 3 % when greater 1. As increases, will correspondingly increase. indicate that, increment inertance leads increase value among all analyzed, those subjected intermediate exhibit most significant reduction both functions.

Vulnerability assessment of tall isolated steel building under variable earthquake hazard levels using endurance time method

Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 9(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2024

In this research, the superstructure behavior in isolated structures has been studied based on their ductility. For purpose, three tall by triple friction pendulum isolators (TFPI) have designed. The ductility of superstructures is different due to seismic force-resisting systems. performance evaluated endurance time (ET) method. This method significantly reduces nonlinear dynamic analysis optimizing number desired earthquake records one excitation functions (ETEFs). Additionally, response under hazard levels can be achieved Results show that change ratio isolator period (TI/TS) affect floor acceleration, TFPI displacement and interstory drift (IDR). However, IDR are also sensitive type system, whether it a braced frame or moment frame. Moreover, there possibility entering collapse phase structural components with which designed linear static spectral methods, an return equal level considered design step.
