The Revival of a Traditional Engineering � New Trends in Geotechnical Engineering Research:(TCEIA)-Lupine Publishers

The Revival of a Traditional Engineering � New Trends in Geotechnical Engineering Research by Wing Shun Kwan in TCEIA in Lupine Publishers

Geotechnical engineering designs are always laid as the most fundamental and earliest phase of civil engineering projects. The birth of geotechnical engineering is very hard to define, but modern geotechnical engineering practice is generally recognized beginning in 1925 after Professor Karl Terzaghi’s publication of Erdbau mechanik, which demonstrates the framework of the principle of effective stress. About a century later, the field of geotechnical engineering is still considered relatively young and full of wonders about the growing challenges upfront. The geotechnical engineering profession is challenged by increasing civil material consumption and aging infra-structures to meet the growing population worldwide in the coming century. The basic infrastructures of civilization are outdated, including roads, bridges, underground tunnels, airport facilities, waterways, and dams. Past’s Geo-techniques for natural hazard assessment, energy supply, skyscraper, transportation, and land use are not sufficient for future’s challenges. Because of unfit land-use models, population growth and climate change, more people and lands are jeopardized by the risk of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and flooding. This article documents a few breakthroughs the recent geotechnical research has attempted to advance the “old technologies” to meet the upcoming challenges.

Applications of ICTs and Action Recognition for Construction Workers (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Applications of ICTs and Action Recognition for Construction Workers (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Human action recognition has drawn considerable attention because of its wide variety of potential applications in the computer vision sector. The past few decades have witnessed rapid advancements in various approaches such as scene interpretation and human body recognition. These technologies have also been applied in several areas in the construction industry. This paper reviews the research regarding construction management by using information and communication technologies for human action recognition. The technologies, including vision- and non-vision-based approaches, which are used to capture and classify actions, are summarized, and the review also covers the three major application areas: ergonomics, personal safety, and productivity.

Ferrocement - A Versatile Light Weight Construction Material (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Ferrocement - A Versatile Light Weight Construction Material (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Socio-economic factors have always influenced construction practices. Man has invariably attempted to compose materials that are not only cheap and easy to employ, but also strong and durable. In the last century cementitious composite has been the choice of the constructions industry across the globe owing to its low cost, easy to mould into typical shapes and high durability. Reinforced cement concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, polymer concrete etc. are to name a few. One such material is ferrocement having light weight and extremely high load resisting capacity. This paper provides a hands-on insight into this emerging construction material.

Estimating Deformations of Laboratory Structures Subjected to Loadings Using Images Collected with Phone Camerase (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Estimating Deformations of Laboratory Structures Subjected to Loadings Using Images Collected with Phone Camerase (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

A Fundamental civil engineering knowledge is the ability to understand, explain and calculate deformations of/in civil structures. New civil engineers acquire this knowledge at universities in material science, engineering mechanics and introduction to structural engineering modules. Structural deformations can be calculated when knowing material properties, geometry and boundary conditions of a structure and loads that are applied on/to it. Inverse engineering can be employed if deformations of a structure are known, but some other parameters are not known.

The Role of Engineering Design in the Infection Control for Hospitals (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

The Role of Engineering Design in the Infection Control for Hospitals (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Hospital buildings are designed with intrinsic features for infection control, and are related to an intensive energy use. The infection control program is structured in a hierarchy of administrative, engineering and PPE controls. Building design plays a major role, because it must not only incorporate the systems that are responsible for infection's engineering controls, but also the features demanded by the administrative controls. Basic understanding of the infection control hierarchy and strategies and stringent communication with the HICC in the design phase is necessary, not only to provide a healthy and safe environment, but to achieve rational solutions that minimize the complexity, operational and maintenance costs. This review paper contributes with basic information about these topics, and presents references for detailed and advanced information.

Trends in Developing Critical Elastic Buckling Formula for Fixed Rectangular Plate Subjected To a Concentrated Load (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Trends in Developing Critical Elastic Buckling Formula for Fixed Rectangular Plate Subjected To a Concentrated Load (TCEIA) - Lupine Publishers

Lateral buckling analysis of fixed rectangular plates under the lateral concentrated load is an interesting problem. However, there is not a determined equation to calculate the critical elastic buckling strength of such plate. This paper presents the equations of the previous studies by Cheng and Yuan and analyzes the critical buckling strength of the plate calculated by finite element method (FEM). Finally, discussion and suggestion on the trends in developing critical elastic buckling formula for such plate are made.
