Water spewing and muck plugging often occur during earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines tunnelling in water-rich sandy strata, even though the conventional foam has been employed to condition sandy soils. In this study, a novel thickened foaming agent suitable for EPB shield tunnelling in water-rich sandy strata is developed. In...

As a result of more stable wind conditions and the depletion of near-shore locations, wind farms are moving farther offshore into deeper waters, challenging the current limits of offshore heavy-lift operations. This paper presents and verifies a novel frequency-domain framework to perform extensive site-specific analysis, of floating...

Most of the waste glass, such as flat glass, glass bottle, is buried in the landfill, which is not desirable because it is not biodegradable and is not conducive to the long-term development of the environment. The glass powder (GP) with a certain fineness has excellent pozzolanic effect and can be used as a potential supplementary cementing...

In this paper, four kinds of ecological fine aggregates (manufactured sand, recycled sand, aeolian sand and river sand) were used to prepared UHPC, the effects of the fine aggregates on the workability, rheological properties and mechanical properties of UHPC were studied. The results reveal that the type and content of fine aggregate have an...

The present research was aimed at lowering the deformation temperature by applying cover tube casing (CTC) to AZ31 magnesium alloy samples subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) without triggering surface defects and/or fracture. The Cockcroft-Latham (C & L) fracture model was incorporated into finite element simulation and...

In this study, glass wool waste was utilized by means of alkali-activation with blast furnace slag. Reaction kinetics, workability, mechanical properties and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag and glass wool were comprehensively studied. Results indicated an optimal modulus (SiO<sub>2</sub>/Na<sub>2</sub>O) of the activator related...

A marine project consists of series of operations, with each operation subject to a predefined operational limit and duration. If actual weather conditions exceed the operational limit, the operation cannot be executed and hence downtime occurs. An accurate assessment of uncertainties and the expected downtime during a marine project is...

This paper investigates the influence of a plasticizing admixture on the pore structure refinement of alkali-activated concrete and paste mixtures and the consequently enhanced performance. Alkali-activated fly ash-slag concrete and paste are designed using a polycarboxylate-based admixture with different dosages. The pore structure and...

The engineering properties of alkali activated materials (AAMs) mainly depend on the constituent materials and their mixture proportions. Despite many studies on the characterization of AAMs, guidelines for mixture design of AAMs and their applications in engineering practice are not available. Extensive experimental studies are still necessary...

This paper presents an investigation on workability and strength of geopolymer concrete made of fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS) and a multicompound activator of Na2SiO3 and NaOH solutions. The FA/BFS ratios were 100:0, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70 and 0:100. The workability of geopolymer concretes was performed by using slump test...

The crew of the Razende Bol had experienced that their work conditions were worse than measured by the waverider. They concluded that the wave height measured by the waverider should be multiplied with a factor of 1.5 to find the real wave conditions in the working area. A number of reasons have been discussed, but only a hypothesis was...

The development of self-compacting concrete (SCC) was an important step towards efficiency at building sites, rationally producing prefabricated concrete elements, better working conditions and improved quality and appearance of concrete structures. By adding fibres to SCC bar reinforcement can be replaced and the performance of concrete...

This study deals with the design of water management systems. Attention is focused on that phase in the design process in which variants are developed and evaluated with emphasis on the evaluation. The proposed evaluation procedure combines an economic evaluation with an evaluation of the hydraulic qualities- The economic evaluation implicates...
