Concrete Maturity | Estimating the Real-Time Concrete StrengthAali R. Alizadeh
The strength monitoring of concrete in the job site is a critical step in the optimization of important operations such as formwork removal, opening traffic on the concrete pavement, post-tensioning, concrete curing, and application of load of concrete elements during construction.
Currently, field-cured cylindrical specimens or CIPPOC samples are cast on most of the job site and are tested in laboratory at various times to monitor strength. This is a relatively inefficient method as it provides delayed results and could be prone to errors as usually one field-cured specimen is tested.
To obtain real-time concrete strength results, a standardized alternative based on the maturity concept has been widely used in the concrete industry. According to the ASTM C1074, the temperature history of concrete is recorded after pouring and using a calibration curve, this information is used to estimate the strength of concrete on the job site.
In this presentation, the concept and measurement techniques of concrete maturity are discussed. You can also watch the video version of this presentation in the following link: http://www.giatecscientific.com/knowledge-center/concrete-news/video-what-is-concrete-maturity/
A mass damper is a vibration absorber able to attenuate the vibrations of a structure or a machinery. By a mass damper it's possible to increase the global damping of the system without the necessity to modify the mechanical structure.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. GINTRODUCTION
Taipei 101 and formerly known as
the Taipei World Financial Center – is
a landmark supertall skyscraper in Xinyi
District, Taipei, Republic of China.
The building was officially classified as
the world's tallest in 2004, and remained
such until the opening of Burj
Khalifa in Dubai in 2010.
In 2011, the building was awarded the
LEED platinum certification, the highest
award according to the Leadership in
Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) rating system, and
became the tallest and largest green
building in the world.
3. FEATURES
• Taipei 101 is 508-meter high,
• 101-story tower
• a five-story deep basement
• 61 elevators
• most floor plan areas vary between 2000 and 2500
square meters (21,500 to 27,000 square feet),
• Building aspect ratio (height/width) to the main roof is
about 9 based on its ‘waist’ (and 6.8 counting the wider
base).
• Construction began in 1999 and ended this year 2004.
• Architectural style is similar to a pagoda and bamboo.
• Major materials used are glass and steel .
5. WIND DESIGN
• Skyscrapers must be flexible in strong winds
yet remain rigid enough to prevent large
sideways movement (lateral drift).
• Flexibility prevents structural damage while
resistance ensures comfort for the
occupants and protection of glass, curtain
walls and other features.
• Thirty-six columns support Taipei 101,
including eight "mega-columns" packed with
10,000 psi (69 MPa) concrete.
• Every eight floors, outrigger trusses connect
the columns in the building's core to those
on the exterior.
6. SUPERSTRUCTURE
CONSTRUCTION
The structure is reinforced by a moment frame
system linking the column on all floors.
Massive steel outrigger trusses span
between the columns on every eight floors.
8. Cross section of super column and reinforcement filled
with high strength concrete upto level 62.
9. FOUNDATION DETAILS
• One of the most stable buildings ever
constructed
• Reinforced by 380 piles driven 262 feet
into the ground, extending as far as 30
meters (98 ft. ) into the bedrock.
• Each pile is 5 feet in diameter and can
withstand a load of 1100-1450 tons, that is
2,900,000 pounds each.
12. SEISMIC DESIGN
Taipei 101 includes a 728-ton sphere
locked in a net of thick steel cables
hung way up toward the top of the
building.
Tuned mass damper
13. • A TUNED MASS DAMPER
OCCUPIES LEVEL 87 TO 91
• 736 TON SPHERE OF STACKED
STEEL PLATES
• SUSPENDED FROM 4 STEEL
CABLES
• IT’S A PENDULUM 0.26 OF
BUILDINGS TOTAL WEIGHT
14. PRINCIPLE
As LATERAL FORCE pass up through
the structure, the ball remains all but
stationary; its inertia helps to counteract
the movements of the building around it,
thus “dampening” the LATERAL
FORCE.
15. TMD CONSTRUCTION
• Tuned mass damper of stacked field-welded steel plates will swing as a
pendulum on steel cables.
16. Assembly of the Tuned Mass
Damper

Tuned Mass Damper
17. STRENGTHS
• Designed to withstand typhoons and
earthquakes.
• Withstands 134 mph winds.
• Withstood a 7.0 Richter scale earthquake,
which only happens in a 2,500 year cycle.
• Withstood a 6.8 earthquake during construction
in which a crane fell off of the tower and killed 5
people.
