01 密集点云中瓦砾砌体结构的三维离散元建模
Abstract：
This paper presents a framework for the three-dimensional structural analysis of full scale, geometrically complex rubble masonry structures from point clouds generated from Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry or terrestrial laser scanning. According to the method, a point-based voxelization algorithm was adopted, whereby a dense point cloud was down-sampled into equidistant points, bypassing the need for conventional intensive processes, such as watertight mesh conversion, to obtain the geometric model of the rubble masonry for structural analysis. The geometry of the rubble masonry structure was represented by a sum of hexahedral rigid blocks (voxels). The proposed “point cloud to structural analysis” framework was implemented to assess the structural stability of the southwest leaning tower of Caerphilly Castle in Wales, UK. Simulations were performed with the three- dimensional computational software 3DEC, based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) of analysis. Each voxel of the rubble masonry was represented as a rigid, distinct block while mortar joints were modelled as zero thickness interfaces which can open and close depending on the magnitude and direction of the stresses applied to them. The potential of the automated procedure herein proposed has been demonstrated to quantitatively assess the three-dimensional mechanical behaviour rubble masonry structures and provide valuable information to asset owners in relation to the structural health condition of assets in their care.

02 在分析摩擦摆系统的简化方法中考虑光谱形状
Abstract：
This paper examines the effect of subduction zone and basin amplified motions on the accuracy of using a simplified method to analyze Friction Pendulum Systems, which is the basis for many international code provisions. This method estimates the maximum displacement demand for Friction Pendulum System isolated structures from analyzing a single degree of freedom system with equivalent period and damping coefficient. Friction Pendulum Systems with equivalent natural period between 1.5 s and 5 s and equivalent damping ratio from 16% to 32% were considered when subjected to over 400 motions. The considered ground motions include crustal and subduction zone motions, with and without basin amplification effect. Ratios of analysis-to-design maximum displacements corresponding to each ground motion are computed. A displacement-spectrum shape correction factor is proposed to improve the accuracy of the simplified method. This correction factor takes into account the irregularity of the 5% damped displacement spectrum that depends on the equivalent period and damping ratio at design displacement of the isolation system.

03 具有有效位置的粘弹性阻尼器控制的单层网壳结构的概率地震分析
Abstract：
In this paper, an effective placement of viscoelastic dampers on single-layer reticulated shell structures is proposed to mitigate seismic response. For comparison, an existing placement of viscoelastic dampers is also investigated. The effectiveness of the proposed placement of viscoelastic dampers is investigated from both deterministic and probabilistic perspectives. The single-layer reticulated shell structure is driven by the stochastic seismic ground motions, which are modeled via the random function based spectral representation method. The probability density evolution method is then implemented for probabilistic response and reliability analyses of the shell structure. A series of deterministic numerical simulations are first implemented under different earthquake excitations, including both actual and artificial seismic ground motions, to compare the control effects in deterministic sense. Then, the control effects of the proposed placement and the existing placement are compared in probabilistic sense, where the probabilistic responses, equivalent extreme value distributions and failure probabilities are extracted. Numerical results demonstrate that the seismic performance of the shell structure can be greatly improved by arranging the viscoelastic dampers with the proposed placement.

04 预制方管柱在轴向载荷下的非焊接，无螺栓，灌浆连接的载荷传递机制
Abstract：
This study develops a novel unwelded, unbolted, ultrahigh-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) grouted connection for prefabricated square tubular composite columns. Herein, eight full-scale columns with UHPFRC grouted connections are tested to investigate their ultimate tensile and compressive resistance. The test results show that the novel connections exhibit good tensile and compressive resistance and structural stiffness. The primary failure modes are punching shear of the end plate, welding fracture at the inner tube, tube yielding and local buckling of the steel tube. The test specimens are simulated using finite element (FE) analysis in ABAQUS. The experimental and simulated results are in good agreement, indicating that the FE simulations can capture the observed failure modes and ultimate tensile and compressive resistance. Thereafter, existing analytical design formulas are evaluated to assess their suitability to predict the compressive and tensile resistance of prefabricated tubes with/without the novel grouted connections. A good agreement between the formula predictions and the test results are observed. These analytical formulas have the potential to be used in the design of the novel unwelded, unbolted, UHPFRC grouted connections for prefabricated steel, reinforced concrete and steel–concrete composite columns.

05 增强自由打开矩形排气罩所需的主动气流的临界速度
Abstract：
Using a radial active air jet ejected from the slot surrounding a circular exhaust hood opening can increase the air speed generated by the hood as well as achieve a larger capacity to exhaust pollutants. Critical parameters of the Aaberg hood have been identified to ensure the positive effect of the active jet. This paper proposed a novel type of enhanced exhaust hood using the rectangular opening in place of the circular one in Aaberg hood to meet the needs of different shape and size of exhaust hood. To understand the performance of this kind of exhaust hood and to determine the critical velocity of the active air jet, the flow characteristics and the centerline velocity are investigated by changing the exhaust rate, hood size, jet angle, jet velocity and jet slot width via experimental and numerical methods. Results show that the critical jet velocity exists between two working modes of the novel exhaust hood, one is the ineffective mode with the short-circuit jet, and the other is jet-enhanced mode with the developed radial jet. The near-wall circulation along the hood opening perimeter is not attributed to the existence of the jet. The suggested equation which error is proven to be within 12.5% for the critical velocity presented in this paper is simple in structure, and will help to facilitate the choice of the energy-efficient exhaust hood design in residential and industrial buildings to save energy that would be wasted on increasing the exhaust rate.

06 考虑成本敏感性的以居住者为中心的建筑物个性化居住者行为识别模型的建立
Abstract：
Modern automation systems play an important role in improving building energy efficiency. However, some evidence shows that occupants are often dissatisfied with automation systems and may intervene, e.g., by manually adjusting automated shading or air conditioning. Therefore, the concept of occupant-centric buildings has been proposed by some scholars to solve the abovementioned problem. As the basis for realizing occupant-centric buildings, personalized occupant behavior should be identified dynamically. Thus, this study proposes a systematic procedure for establishing a personalized occupant behavior model with cost sensitivity analysis (POBM–CSA). The CSA can improve the identification performance of the model while considering the personalized preferences and attitudes of target occupants. By taking shading behavior identification as an example, the total cost and area under the cost curve were used to evaluate this consideration. The results showed that the POBM–random forest with cost-sensitive classification has the best cost sensitivity performance. By establishing a customer rule library, personalized behavior patterns with reduced misclassifications can be output by the POBM–CSA to improve the operation of occupant-centric buildings.

07 二次铝工业的除尘器作为地质聚合物泡沫的原料
Abstract：
In this work, the use of waste dust filter of secondary aluminum industry (DFA) to obtain geopolymer foams has been studied. The waste was used as source of alumina and foaming agent. As precursor and principal reactive silica supplier rice husk ash was used. Precursors were chemically activated by means of a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and a commercial sodium silicate solution. The influence of the DFA content or Si/Al molar ratio (4–7) were determined by keeping the Si/Na molar ratio of 0.7 M constant and the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the activating solution equal to 8.5 M. The geopolymer foams obtained were studied by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), adsorption/desorption of nitrogen, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The results indicated that geopolymer foams presented low values of bulk density (643–737 kg/m3) high values of apparent porosity (62–70%), low, but sufficient values of compressive strength (0.5–1.7 MPa) and good values of thermal conductivity (0.131–0.157 W/mK). Lower values of thermal conductivity were obtained for Si/Al = 4 and 5 M ratios, due to the highest apparent porosity and the highest total pore volume. These geopolymer foam materials have similar properties to other construction materials sector such as gypsum boards, foamed concrete, or insulating materials. In addition, its use in other applications of interest such as catalyst support or gas filtration materials could be investigated.
