Investigation of the vault curve of East-China type multi-span greenhouse by CHEN Zhi-yin, SHEN Ming-wei

“…Meanwhile, taking the mutual shading effect of the neighboring spans into account, the direct solar radiation of arc vault of both east-west and south-north oriented multi-span greenhouse at noon on the day of winter solstice was calculated using the curvilinear integral method. Our result showed that greenhouse would have maximum snow-load bearing capacity when its vault tangential angle was in the range of 15°-20°, whereas the solar radiation collection ability of greenhouse was not significantly affected by variation in tangential angle of the vault.…”

Correlation between electrical resistivity and compressive strength of stabilized dredged sediment for early quality control by Mohammadhossein Gholampoor, Torleif Dahlin, Mikael Lumetzberger, Per Hedblom

“…The 28-day strength varied from 0.25 MPa to 2 MPa while the resistivity varied between 3 Ωm to 22 Ωm. The observed variations in resistivity and compressive strength can be attributed to differences in the water-to-binder ratio across the samples.This approach offers a practical, non-destructive method for detecting early quality issues of stabilized DS, enabling quicker decision-making and potentially reducing project timelines and costs while maintaining the integrity and safety of construction projects involving stabilized dredged sediments.…”
