Civil Engineering, Architecture and Sustainable Infrastructure II (PDF)

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Civil Engineering, Architecture and Sustainable Infrastructure (ICCEASI 2013), July 13-15, 2013, Zhengzhou, China. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 447 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Building Materials; Chapter 2: Structural Engineering; Chapter 3: Bridge, Underground and Road Engineering; Chapter 4: Hydrology, Coastal and Geotechnical Engineering; Chapter 5: Earthquake and Seismic Engineering;Chapter 6: Civil Engineering, Urban Planning and Management.About 450 selected and peer-reviewed papers discuss matters relating to advanced and sustainable materials and innovation in civil and hydraulic engineering, architecture and building construction, bridge and underground engineering, and earthquake and seismic engineering. Among the topics are a new method for generating arbitrary polygonal aggregate of concrete, semi-circular bending tests using a digital image correlation method, an experimental investigation of the structural effect of soft clay under low-frequency cyclic loading, the diagnosis of structural damage based on the strain model, safety measures against fire in a single-highway tunnel for subtended traffic, support techniques for excavating deep rock mass, water saving irrigation and food security in China, an efficient calculation method for seismic spectral analysis under multiple support excitation, and applying tubular truss structures in engineering.
