Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction Scheduling for Dispatching Ready Mixed Concrete Trucks Using Bee Colony OptimizationSakchai Srichandum, Thammasak RujirayanyongProblem statement: This study proposed a systematic model of delivering Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) that optimizes the schedule of dispatching RMC trucks. Approach: Firstly, the factors that impact the RMC delivery process are analyzed. Secondly, a model based on Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) was developed in order to find the best dispatching schedule that minimize the total waiting time of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of the Transport Properties of Tyre Fiber Modified ConcreteG. Senthil Kumaran, M. Lakshmipathy, Nurdin MushuleProblem statement: Nowadays, the use of waste tyre in concrete has become technically feasible and the tyre mixed concrete is light weight and called as rubberized concrete. Still the research is going on to explore basic engineering properties such as transport properties viz, acid absorption test, water absorption tests, impact resistance, modulus of elasticity, dynamic modulus and so on. In … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2011 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExamination of Preservation, Maintenance and Prevention from Corrosion in Water CylindersKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Vijay P. Singh, Nicolas R. Dalezios et al.Reduction of water constructions and installations problems, improvement of construction life, provision, transference, distribution, purification and reservation of water are of the most important matters in urban culture due to the importance of drinkable water supply for cities and villages of the country, considering the increase of need in consumption of water supply. One of the basic troubles of industries … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 8,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cement Chemistry on the Performance of Cement Stabilized Tropical Lateritic SoilOdumade Adegboyega Oduniyi, Ezeah Chukwunonye, Charles Nnamdi Ezugwu, Ekeoma EmmanuelChemical composition affects overall performance of cement on other materials such as when used in concrete or for stabilization of lateritic soil. This research studied the influence of chemical composition of three Portland cement types represented as samples A, B and C on engineering performance when mixed with laterite under tropical environmental conditions.The Lateritic soil sample classified according to AASHTO … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction Stage Analysis for a New Mixed Structure Building in MilanMarco Zucca, Nicola Longarini, Federico de Socio, Iacopo MiglioriIn this study the Construction Stage Analysis (CSA) of a new mixed structure building is discussed in order to identify the best timing and execution activities scheduling. The building is part of a new university campus that will be realized close to the center of the city. The CSA is carried out by the implementation of two models: the finite … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2018 · 9,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Applied Study on the Debris Recycling in TunnellingPierpaolo Oreste, Marta CastellanoProblem statement: A simple calculation has shown what the impact of muck created during the construction of a hypothetical 50 km long and 100 m2 cross section tunnel could be on the environment: around 8 million cubic meters would have to be discharged as waste material. One solution to such a problem could be to recycle (almost a part) the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Fly Ash Based Coconut Fiber CompositeK. Saravana Raja Mohan, P. Jayabalan, A. RajaramanThe present paper reports the results of a study undertaken in enhancing properties of fly ash concrete composites-FMCC with locally available natural fiber. In this context a composite with fly ash, concrete and treated coconut fibers-available in plenty in rural areas of India-can be a good proposition and with this background, experimental investigation to study the effects of replacement of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdvanced XFEM Simulation of Pull-out and Debonding of Steel Bars and FRP-Reinforcements in Concrete BeamsNicola Orlando, Elena BenvenutiAn innovative three-dimensional model is applied to the pull-out of steel bars and the debonding of FRP plates from concrete specimens. The shearing and opening modes at the interface of debonding is fully captured. The model is based on an innovative variant of the regularized eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) developed by the authors. In this method, the displacement discontinuity … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
