Sustainability-Oriented Model to Decide on Concrete Pipeline Reinforcement

Effect of Reinforcement Type on the Tension Stiffening Model of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a developing concrete and today is increasing to interest using it in structures due to its advantages such as high-compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, highly durability and low-permeability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide models for prediction of nonlinear behavior of this material. This study is aimed to investigate the tension-stiffen...

A Concrete Chinese NLP Pipeline

Natural language processing research increasingly relies on the output of a variety of syntactic and semantic analytics. Yet integrating output from multiple analytics into a single framework can be time consuming and slow research progress. We present a CONCRETE Chinese NLP Pipeline: an NLP stack built using a series of open source systems integrated based on the CONCRETE data schema. Our pipe...

Aspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation

With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...

Set in stone? A perspective on the concrete sustainability challenge

Sustainability challenges and opportunities With more than one-half of the world’s growing population (now ∼ 7 billion) living in cities, a sustainable physical infrastructure is central to improving and maintaining a high quality of life. Concrete is an important component of this infrastructure, with a current annual per capita consumption of about 2.8 tonnes (t) ( Figure 1 ). Concrete powers...
