          <artTitle lang="ENG">Cold-formed steel joints with partial warping restraint</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The article investigates the influence of joints on the warping torsion of cold-formed steel bars. The modern warping torsion theory suggests cold-formed steel bars to be simply supported or fixed at the&#13;
ends. Simple support provides zero warping restraint. Fixed support provides fool warping restraint at the joint of the bar. In real constructions cold-formed steel joints are partial warping restrained. Not considering the partial restraint of deplanations by real joints leads to an incorrect assessment of the twist angles and the stress state of thin-walled steel bars in warping torsion. This article deals with an experimental and analytical investigation of warping torsion of cold-formed steel bars with bolted joints. Considered 142C16, 142C20, 262C23 and 262C29 sections. Five types of joints considered: a wall and both flanges of the bar end sections are fixed; the upper and lower flanges are fixed; the wall is fixed; the wall and the lower flange are fixed; the lower flange is fixed. First, analytical expressions for twist angles and bimoments for warping torsion for bars with partial warping restraints obtained. Analytical results are compared with the results of the warping torsion experiment conducted at Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. The cold-formed steel specification is shown to be a poor predictor for the twist angle and bimoment value of twisting members. The warping factor coefficient is recommended for the estimation of the degree of the joint warping constraint. Experimental values of warping factors for different joint types are obtained. The influence of partial warping restraints and cross-section deformation on the work of the tested cold-formed steel bars are evaluated.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This paper presents an experimental and a numerical investigation of light-gauge steel box sections filled with concrete made with a combination of natural aggregate (NA), recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). A total of 47 specimens, including 30 composite beams, 15 plain concrete beams, and 2 bare steel beams were tested. The main variables in the tests were the steel thickness (2 and 2.4 mm), the coarse aggregate type and replacement ratios. NA was replaced by RCA and RAP with replacement levels of 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 %, and 100 % by the total weight of NA. In addition, RCA and RAP were incorporated in the same mixes with four replacement levels of (20 % RCA and 80 % RAP); (40 % RCA and 60 % RAP); (60 % RCA and 40 % RAP); and finally, with (80 % RCA and 20 % RAP). The experimental capacities were compared to the theoretical prediction of EC4, AISC-LRFD, AIJ, and the Rigid Plastic Theory (RPT). Moreover, a finite element analysis (FEA) was performed using ABAQUS software. The experimental results showed that the ultimate capacity of composite beams decreased with the increase of RCA and RAP percentage. However, both RCA and RAP enhanced the capacity of plain concrete beams. Current code provisions predicted lower capacities than the experimental values, and the FEA results showed reasonable agreement with the test results.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The effect of the fly ash (FA) filler modified by sulphuric acid on the mechanical and physical properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) composite material (PCM) has been investigated. The results of the presented study can be formulated as follow. The element and oxide composition of original (as received) fly ash is affected by the modification of sulphuric acid of 5 % concentration. At the same time, the variations in the particle size distribution of filler can be observed. In particular, the modified FA filler has an increased content of fine particles. The XRD pattern of as received fly ash indicates the presence of both crystalline (25 %) and amorphous phases (75 %) while XRD pattern of FA after chemical modification points to the fact that the content of crystalline phase has been increased up to 40 % but the content of amorphous phase has been decreased up to 60 %. The results of mechanical and physical properties of PCM with various content of unmodified fly ash filler (55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 %) indicate that compressive and flexural strength tends to rise with increasing concentration from 55 to 65 percent. In the certain case when the fly ash filler is modified by sulphuric acid of 5 % concentration, the values of compressive and flexural strength of PCM at 65 % FA loading is higher than compared with PCM on the base of unmodified filler. The strength gain may be attributed to the increasing crystallinity in the recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) matrix of the composite material as the fly ash content is increased. The XRD, DTA/TGA data of pure rPET and PCM are in conformity with the results of mechanical and physical properties of PCM.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The ratio of components for the production of alginate emulsions are established, which can be used in the design of compositions for encapsulating various types of reducing agents. The high resistance of alginate emulsions to segregation corresponds to a structured system, the onset of the destruction of which is determined by the ratio O/A. The structure of stable alginate emulsions is characterized by an average particle size of the dispersed phase from 5 to 7 μm, the average distance between which is from 7 to 9 μm. The change in the particle size distribution of the dispersed phase occurs during the process of water evaporation from the alginate emulsion, which is explained by a decrease in the volume of the dispersion medium, the approach of the particles, their collision, compression, and pooling. An increase in particle diameter occurs on average by 28 % over 5 days, which is accompanied by an increase in viscosity by 4 times.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This paper presents the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre on the bond strength in geopolymer concrete. The main focus of the study is to investigate how bond performance is affected by varying the amount of PVA fibre content. The PVA fibre content of 0 %, 0.2 %, 0.4 %, 0.6 % and 0.8 % by volume of concrete were utilized. Alkali activated class F fly ash was used to prepare the concrete specimens. Moreover, the Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) specimen was also prepared to conduct the comparative study. The results showed that the application of PVA fibre improves the bond resistance between the pull-out bar and concrete matrix. It has been investigated that the utilization of PVA fibre in geopolymer concrete improves up to 25.9 % bond strength as compared with the concrete without PVA fibre. The addition of PVA fibre provides a more ductile mode of failure in both geopolymer and OPC concrete than to the concrete without PVA fibre. For the different percentages of PVA fibre used, the specimen with 0.6 % PVA fibre shows maximum compressive strength, splitting and bond strength. The comparative study reveals that the specimen with and without PVA fibre blended geopolymer concrete shows higher bond strength than OPC concrete.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">This study presents an application of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for creep rate prediction of asphalt concrete modified with different rubber contents. Acrylonitrile butadiene rubbers (NBR) under powder form are used in this study. The polymer is an industrial waste produced by the Algerian Elastomer Company. The most appropriate model is the multilayer back propagation network. It is produced to implement the complexity of the non-linear between the data network and the product result. It is established by the incorporation of an important experimental database and by an appropriate choice of the architecture and of the learning process. We will show that the developed ANN model received rubber contents, test temperature, compactness and the loading stress as the input and provided the creep rate as the output has better capability to predict the final creep rate in a short time with low error. The model is further applied to evaluate the effect with different contents of polymer on creep rate of bituminous concrete modified. Obtained results show that creep rate is reduced at 2 % of polymer adding. However, an increase in percentage of additives over 2 % does not help to reduce permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures. ANN model introduced provided a more accurate tool for the design of bituminous concretes modified.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Expanded clay concrete is a perspective structural material because of its lightweight, heat and sound insulating properties. However, due to its brittleness and low strength to flexure and compression it cannot be used in load bearing structures. Adding basalt fiber in concrete increases mechanical properties. The research work presents an experimental study of the mechanical behavior of structural expanded clay basalt fiber concrete. The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of chopped basalt fiber in expanded clay concrete to improve its strength. An experimental characterization of mechanical behavior by compressive and flexural tests was achieved. Dispersed chopped basalt fiber was used as reinforcement of specimens with sizes of 100×100×100 mm and 100×100×400 mm. Mathematical models for determining the compressive strength and the flexural strength of the expanded clay concrete depending on the proportion of basalt fiber and the curing period are developed. The finite element analysis was done by using ANSYS software, a model was developed to validate the different results obtained experimentally. The experimental results show that high percent of basalt fiber in the expanded clay concrete gives higher strength. In effect, an influence directly on the failure mode was observed on expanded clay concrete without basalt fiber and then read by the value of strength and ultimate deformation.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Due to low compressive strength and low compressive elastic modulus in comparison with these in tension, GFRP reinforcement is often used for bending elements and is rarely used for compressive structures. In this paper, the authors used finite element (FE) method based on Abaqus software to evaluate the axial load-carrying capacity of GFRP reinforced concrete (RC) columns under varying concrete grades, GFRP reinforcement ratios and tie configurations. The model of the specimens is developed using concrete damage plastic (CDP) model and linear elastic material model for GFRP bar. The consistence of the FE method is verified by the experimental results of a series of columns that tested by current authors. The analytical results show that the selected numerical method can accurately predict the behavior as well as the ultimate capacity of the columns. From simulation results, it is clear that the contribution of GFRP to the load-carrying capacity is considerable in columns with low concrete grades. While using higher concrete grades, the contribution of GFRP decrease, at concrete grade B60, contribution of GFRP is almost unimportant (2.74 %). Influence of tie spacing on load-bearing capacity of columns is also investigated. Accordingly, reducing tie spacing leads to increase load-carrying capacity. Based on study results, the authors recommend to limit tie spacing less than eight times of the GFRP bar diameter.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">Hard floods of rare frequency can cause significant damage to the ecosystem of the river basin, as well as to settlements and infrastructure. Therefore, the urgent task is to develop sustainable measures of minimization of the dangerous effects of these phenomena. One of the feasible technical measure is the construction of a self-regulating flood control dams with temporarily filled reservoirs system in the river basin. This article proposes an improved technique for flood events modeling, taking into account the proposed measures. The proposed method is based on the modeling in a GIS environment coupled with hydrologic simulation software. GIS modeling is preceded by the development of the digital elevation model. According to the results of the research, the requirements for the input data were formulated. An algorithm for creating models was given, as well as examples of already created models. The viability of this technique is shown, together with the limitations identified during the simulation.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The paper covers issues connected to the determination of most preferred values for the parameters of construction processes implemented with application of sliding formwork and defined by the factors of stochastic nature. On the basis of the review of different literature sources connected to the modeling of mentioned above processes it has been concluded that existing scientific developments provide relatively low adequacy of the results due to the simplified mathematical models that don’t take into account stochastic factors. That circumstance has determined the necessity for creation of stochastic model for the construction process implemented with sliding formwork. The initial data for the model include baseline duration of the wall construction process, wall height, concrete layer thickness, characteristics of stochastic values of the concrete layer’s pouring and maturing duration (mathematical expectation and mean-square deviation), etc.; parameters to be determined are the sliding formwork’s panel height and movement base (average) speed. The created model has been implemented on the practical example – wall construction process as the element of the project “Arctic NLG 2”. On the basis of the received results the conclusion has been made about high practical significance of the developed tool.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">Due to the importance of inventing new techniques capable of enhancing concrete structural properties while reducing environmental issues associated with CO2 emissions in concrete industry, which preoccupies environmental scientists, a novel investigation was performed on feasibility of benefitting from Alternating Magnetic Field (AMF) and silica particles to attain this goal. Hence, some experiments were conducted on cylindrical concrete specimens comprising different silica sand contents of up to 10 %, wherein the influence of exposing fresh and hardened concrete to AMF of frequency 50 Hz and density 0.5 Tesla (T) on compressive strength of 7 and 28-day specimens was evaluated. For this, a specialized test setup was assembled such that the specimen could be subjected to compressive force and AMF, simultaneously. It was found that AMF can improve concrete compressive strength, where this technique is more efficient as to exposing hardened concrete. What was significant about the results was the fact that adding silica sand not only improved concrete mechanical strength but also considerably enhanced the effectiveness of AMF in increasing concrete compressive strength, when applied to hardened concrete. For instance, replacing 10 % of cement content with silica sand increased compressive strength of 28-day specimens by 8.4, but adding 10 % silica sand along with exposing specimens to AMF yielded an increase of nearly 21 % in real-time. Thus, developing this method can result in a new generation of smart constructions. Moreover, by adding 10 % silica sand, the emission of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, reduces by 10 percent while significantly enhancing compressive strength.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Strength of ultra-high rockfill dam concrete face</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The problem of providing safety to ultra-high rockfill dams with concrete faces is urgent and unresolved. It is proved by the facts of face structural failure of several ultra-high dams. As a rule, these facts are attributed to the face non-uniform bending deformations or are explained by high compressive stresses in the face central part. With the aid of numerical modeling the author investigated the conditions of forming stress-strain state (SSS) of ultra-high rockfill dams with concrete faces. Analysis was made of internal forces appearing in a concrete face: longitudinal forces and bending moments. It was established that high tensile stresses are most dangerous for concrete face strength in ultra-high rockfill dams. They create a threat by formation of horizontal and inclined cracks oriented along the contact with the foundation. These tensile stresses are the result of not only concrete face transverse bending deformations but also the presence of longitudinal tensile forces and longitudinal bending deformations in it. It is possible to minimize the impact of these adverse effects by decreasing friction at the contact of the face with the dam, however, this does not provide favorable SSS of the concrete face. It is necessary to take special measures on concrete face SSS regulation. Namely, it was established that rockfill deformation modulus should make up at least 300÷400 MPa. Absence of precedent cases of crack formation in the faces of the existing ultra-high rockfill dams may be explained by relaxation of stresses due to creep of concrete.</abstract>
