Reuse Dismantling and Performance Evaluation of Reusable Members
Author: Masanori Fujita, Researcher, Dr, Eng., Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan and Mamoru Iwata, Prof., Dr, Eng., Department of Architecture and Building Engineering, Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan | Size: 1.36 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Structural Engineering International | Year: 2008 | pages: 8 | ISBN: NA
The reuse system mentioned in this paper is an overall system for realizing a reuse business in a cyclic process of design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, dismantling, and storage. Here, we propose reuse dismantling to minimize the damage to structural members for future reuse, and performance evaluation of reusable members focusing on rolled H-sections. Structural members obtained by reuse dismantling or conventional demolition are evaluated by visual inspection, dimensional inspection, mechanical property tests, chemical component tests, and degradation inspection. For structural members to circulate as reusable members in the existing distribution system, two industries are needed: one responsible for production and product supply, which has already been established, and the other facilitating disposal, recycling, and reusing of the products resulting from the former. The authors define the former as the arterial industry, and the latter, as the venous industry, showing the size and importance of both industries.

Book Review
"The 17 papers show a tremendous range both in subject and depth of coverage. The list of chapter authors is impressive and only serves to illustrate the considerable influence of these two scientists. The variety of authors results in a wide range of styles and quality of writing. The level of mathematical sophistication also varies. There will be something for everyone in this collection. Several of the chapters represent a good starting point for graduate students looking for an introduction to a particular topic. --Journal of Environmental Quality
Product Description
The vadose zone is the region between ground level and the upper limits of soil fully saturated with water. Hydrology in the zone is complex: nonlinear physical, chemical, and biological interactions all affect the transfer of heat, mass, and momentum between the atmosphere and the water table. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to vadose zone hydrology, bringing together insights from soil science, hydrology, biology, chemistry, physics, and instrumentation design. The chapters present state-of-the-art research, focusing on new frontiers in theory, experiment, and management of soils. The collection addresses the full range of processes, from the pore-scale to field and landscape scales.

Advantages and Limitations of Ultimate Limit State Design Methods for Braced Excavations
by D. C. Konstantakos, P.E
Section: Load and Resistance Factor Design, pp. 818-825
Here is the abstract:
This paper examines the advantages and limitations of employing ultimate limit state methods for the design of braced excavations. Braced excavation design requires both skill and careful evaluation of many factors that can affect performance. Traditionally in the US, braced excavations are designed with a serviceability approach where soil parameters are conservatively estimated and the performed analysis yields the service displacements, moments, and forces. Design forces are then calculated by applying a global safety factor on the service design results, while the wall embedment is determined by calculating limit equilibrium safety factors against wall rotation and passive resistance that range from 1.2 to 1.5. In Europe, in contrast to the US, an ultimate limit state design approach has been adopted in geotechnical design including the design of braced excavations. In this design philosophy both wall and supports are designed based on an ultimate limit condition. The ultimate design forces are typically determined by reducing the characteristic soil strength parameters or by multiplying the effects of actions and dividing the effects of resistances by various safety factors. At the end, a safety factor of one or greater is required for all structures and other types of safety factors. Back in the US, there is an increasing trend of promoting ultimate limit state design in geotechnical design, including braced excavations. In the author’s experience the ultimate limit state method works reasonably well for most limit equilibrium methods but can produce very inconsistent results in many cases when numerical analyses are employed. Hence, the advantages and limitations of the ultimate limit state design should be carefully weighted by practitioners and academia in the US before, and if, the ultimate limit state philosophy is incorporated in a legally binding building code.

This paper presents a summary of the results of a numerical parametric study on the effects of wall stiffness and K„ on the behaviour of single propped embedded retaining walls. By modifying Rowe's wall flexibility number, p. to include both the wall and soil stiffness it is shown that results from analysis based on different soil stiffness profiles and of different wall geometries can be normalised. Finite element predictions of maximum wall bending moment and prop force are compared with values from simple limit equilibrium calculations. Coefficients relating the finite element and limit equilibrium results are established and the manner in which they vary with both wall stiffness and K.„ value are presented. A design procedure combining these coefficients with standard limit equilibrium analysis is proposed. This results in the enhancement or reduction of bending moments and prop forces calculated by limit equilibrium depending on wall stiffness and in situ stress conditions.

Solid Modelling and CAD Systems gives users an insight into the methods and problems associated with CAD systems. It acts as a bridge between users who learn interfaces without understanding how they work and developers who create systems without understanding the needs of the users. The main feature of Solid Modelling and CAD Systems is a logical analysis of the techniques and basic solid modelling methods used in modern CAD systems. The book goes on to describe, among other subjects: two-dimensional shape definition methods, the command interface and graphics, databases and data exchange, early-phase design, andcommand files and command structures. Reading Solid Modelling and CAD Systems will help users understand the limitations of the techniques they are using and will enable practitioners to use CAD systems more efficiently. It is a valuable tool for designers, as well as for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. The exercises it contains allow readers to try out different aspects of the subject matter and the book also includes projects that can be used for teaching purposes.
