SUMMARY:Scientific Concepts for Concrete Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. Lian Huizhen\nEmeritus Professor\, School of Civil Engineering\nTsinghua University\, Beijing \nAbstract\nConcrete technology has been developing rather empirically. However\, recent research has indicated that we can better understand concrete through certain scientific concepts. This seminar will present the scientific concepts that would help us to improve our understanding of concrete and to more accurately predict the behaviour of concrete. With these scientific concepts\, we should be able to optimize the mix design of concrete for the production of higher performance concrete. \nBiography\nProf. Lian graduated from Tsinghua University in 1958 and has since been teaching and doing research at Tsinghua University. She has done more than 50 years of research on various aspects of concrete technology\, including PFA\, GGBS\, high-strength concrete\, high-flowability concrete\, light-weight concrete and expanding agents. She has published more than 100 papers and has participated in the drafting of many national standards on concrete materials and structures.

SUMMARY:Recent Research on the Strengthening of Concrete and Metallic Construction Materials with FRP Composites
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. Scott Smith\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Civil Engineering\nUniversity of Hong Kong \nAbstract\nExternally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites can be used effectively to strengthen and repair existing reinforced concrete (RC) and metallic structures. Of fundamental importance though is an adequate understanding of the strength and behaviour of the bond between the FRP and concrete or metallic substrates. While an abundance of research has been undertaken over the last two decades or so on the bond between FRP and concrete\, associated research between FRP and metallic materials is still very much in its infancy by comparison. This presentation will in turn discuss recent research being conducted at The University of Hong Kong related to the strength and behaviour of FRP-to-concrete and FRP-to-metallic bonded interfaces. More specifically\, the enhancement of FRP-to-concrete bond strength using mechanical anchorage is discussed as well as the effect of material and geometric properties on the strength of FRP-to-metallic interfaces. \nBiography\nProf. Scott Smith is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Hong Kong\, China. He graduated BE (Civil Engineering) (1994) and PhD in Structural Engineering (1999) from The University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Australia. His research interests include the behaviour of RC\, metallic and timber structures strengthened with FRP composites; strength\, ductility and serviceability of RC structures; and local buckling of steel and FRP in composite steel- or FRP-concrete assemblages. He has published widely in the FRP composites field\, co-authored Australia’s first design guideline on FRP\, and received the Distinguished Young Researcher Award from the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) in 2010.

SUMMARY:Pseudo-Excitation Method and its Applications in Civil Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. J. H. Lin\nFull Professor\, Department of Engineering Mechanics\nDalian University of Technology \nAbstract\nIn the design of long-span bridges\, the spatial effects of earthquakes\, including the wave passage effect\, the incoherence effect\, and the local site effect\, must be taken into account. The random vibration method can fully account for the statistical nature as well as the spatial effects of earthquakes\, and so has been widely regarded as a very promising method. Unfortunately the very low computational efficiency has become the bottle-neck for its practical use\, even though a number of scholars have made great endeavors to improve the efficiency. In the past 30 years\, a research group at Dalian University of Technology\, led by Prof. J.H. LIN\, has originated and developed an efficient method\, known as the pseudo-excitation method (PEM)\, to cope with the above computational difficulty. The PEM is accurate because the correlation terms between all participating modes and between all excitations have both been included. It is also very easy to use because the stationary random vibration analysis is transformed into harmonic vibration analyses\, while the non-stationary random vibration analysis is transformed into deterministic transient dynamic analyses. The most important advantage of PEM is its extremely high efficiency. For an average 3D FEM based bridge model\, the computing time for stationary seismic analysis is only a few minutes when using an ordinary personal computer. Therefore this method can easily compute the 3D random seismic responses of long-span bridges based on finite element models with up to thousands of degrees of freedom efficiently and accurately. This method has been widely applied in China in civil and transportation engineering (cars and high speed trains). The recently published official document “Guidelines for Seismic Design of Highway Bridges JTG/T B01-01-2008” recommends the PEM as a basic tool for seismic analysis of long-span bridges. The method is also introduced by a whole chapter in the “Vibration and Shock Handbook” published by CRC Press (US) in 2005. Owing to its extensive applications\, the PEM has now become an important part of the random vibration courses in some Chinese universities and colleges. This report will be presented by Prof. J.H. Lin to show the applications of PEM in different engineering areas. \nBiography\nProf. J. H. Lin was born in Shanghai in 1941. He studied in the Department of Modern Mechanics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from 1959 to 1964\, and then studied as a postgraduate in Dalian University of Technology (DUT) from 1964 to 1967. His research results in structural nonlinear seismic analysis and dynamic optimization published nearly 30 years ago were widely cited and applied in civil and mechanical engineering. After studying as a visiting fellow at Princeton University in Aug.1980—Oct.1981\, Prof. Lin has spent more than 20 years to establish the “pseudo excitation method”\, an efficient series of algorithms for structural random vibration computations\, which has been used efficiently in many important engineering projects in China. Hundreds of papers cited this method in solving engineering problems in different fields have been published by many professors and experts.

SUMMARY:Air Pollution in a Changing Environment: Integrated Tools and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. Carlos Borrego\nFull Professor of Department of Environmental & Planning\, Former Vice-Rector\nUniversity of Aveiro \nAbstract\nAir pollution is enacted on all geographical and temporal scales\, ranging from urban problems related to immediate and long-term effects on human health and material damage\, over local\, regional and global phenomena. Numerical air quality modelling is a powerful tool for air quality evaluation and management\, and has been used to study the repercussions of emission reduction scenarios in air quality levels\, and their impacts on human health and vegetation. \nSince the world’s cities are the heart of most of the human activities\, the major consumers of natural resources\, and the major producers of pollution\, it is obvious that the sustainability debate has an urban focus. Urban sprawl is altering the landscape\, with current trends pointing to further changes in land use that will\, in turn\, lead to changes in emissions and air quality. Two case studies will be addressed. In the first one\, the impacts of alternative urban growth patterns on air quality are analysed through a 1-year application of a modelling system to Porto urban region (Portugal). Two land use scenarios for Porto urban area were defined (SPRAWL and COMPACT)\, and three full-year simulations were performed. Results revealed that SPRAWL resulted in an average temperature increase of 0.4°C\, an aggravation of PM10 annual averages and an increase in exceedances to the daily limit value. Finally\, population exposure to pollutants is higher for COMPACT because more inhabitants are found in areas of higher concentrations. \nIn the second case study\, the impact of road traffic management on urban air quality at the street level is assessed through the application of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. Different traffic scenarios were analysed based on the modification of the number and location of traffic lanes for typical meteorological boundary conditions. Simulations for the different scenarios have shown distinct behaviours of the air pollutants due to the prevailing wind direction and roads positioning. It was concluded that\, for typical conditions\, the closure of the two traffic lanes located in the south side of the main Avenue and the two adjacent streets is the best solution for air quality improvement. This scenario leads to a 31% reduction on CO and PM10 concentrations in the North sidewalk and 81% in the South sidewalk when comparing to present conditions. \nThese conclusions stress the importance of integrating the knowledge provided by the application of air quality models in urban planning and road traffic management with the goal of promoting the urban sustainability. \nBiography\nCarlos Borrego\, PhD in Air Pollution Modelling in 1981 at Free University of Brussels\, is Full Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Aveiro. During more than 30 years working on environmental problems\, he is serving Portugal on a number of international scientific boards and committees (EC\, NATO\, ESF…). He was Minister of Environment (1991 to 1994)\, Vice-Rector of the University of Aveiro and presently is the President of the Department of Environment and Planning. He is also Director of the European Association for the Science of Air Pollution – EURASAP. Since 1982\, coordinating the Research Group on Emissions\, Modelling and Climate Change\, he was involved in more than 26 European projects. His research work includes over 400 scientific publications (163 peer-reviewed and participation in 16 books) on environmental impact assessment\, air quality numerical modelling and management\, development of emissions databases\, wind tunnel simulation of flow and dispersion\, numerical modelling of flow and dispersion around buildings. As Director of the Institute for Environment and Development – IDAD\, the interface unit of University of Aveiro for cooperation with the Society\, develops professional consulting and project activities.

SUMMARY:Research and Development on Seismic Design\, Evaluation and Retrofit of Structures in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nProf. Lap-Loi Chung\nNational Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering \nAbstract\nTaiwan is located in a seismicity active area and mitigation of earthquake disaster is an important issue. Technology is not well-developed to predict the occurrence of earthquake. Even though earthquake loss cannot be completely eliminated\, it can be effectively minimized through preparedness before earthquake\, emergency responses during earthquake and rehabilitation after earthquake. With seismic design\, the performance of new structures can be guaranteed. Because of uncertainty of earthquake\, structures may encounter earthquakes that may exceed the design one. Under this unexpected earthquake\, structures only with design strengths may be seriously damaged or even collapsed. Therefore\, the ductility after ultimate strength is also a key factor for seismic design. Moreover\, in addition to structure\, seismic performance of facilities has to be considered in some important structures such as hospital in order to be functional after major earthquake. Seismic codes are updated with time so that existing structures may be deficient in seismic performance from the viewpoint of the most updated seismic codes. Because of a large number of existing structures\, it is impossible and impractical to demolish all of them. By seismic evaluation\, the performance of existing structures can be realized. If its performance is inadequate\, retrofit measures can be taken to upgrade the seismic performance. Research\, development and implement on seismic design\, evaluation and retrofit of structures will be presented. \nBiography\nDr. Chung is Research Fellow at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. and M.S. from the\, Department of Civil Engineering\, SUNNY at Buffalo after he graduated from the National Taiwan University. He has also been an adjunct professor at the Department of Civil Engineering\, National Taiwan University.

SUMMARY:Nonlinear Modal Analysis and Superposition of Structural Responses for Seismic Applications
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nDr. Kevin Wong\nResearch Structural Engineer\nDepartment of Commerce and the Federal Government\nNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\nUSA \nAbstract\nBuildings constructed in the seismic regions are vulnerable to earthquake activities and are required to be designed such that its seismic capacity must exceed the corresponding seismic demand with sufficient ductility. While design codes and standards have been developed to establish the seismic capacity in design\, estimating the seismic demand in nonlinear structures has always been a challenging task mainly because of the lack of scientific measurement tools. Nonlinear dynamic analysis is believed to be the most accurate method of computing the seismic demand\, but it requires earthquake time histories that are uncertain and difficult to predict. At the same time\, using only one earthquake time history in the analysis typically does not give a good representation of the broad spectrum of frequency contents due to uncertainties in earthquake ground motions. In order to predict the seismic demand accurately\, nonlinear dynamic analysis always requires a large number of earthquake time histories in the computation\, resulting in a huge computational effort and making the analysis impractical in the design process. Therefore\, a fast analysis method with high accuracy to predict the maximum seismic demand is needed. \nIn this presentation\, a brief introduction to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program will first be given. Then a fast analysis algorithm based on modal superposition of nonlinear response is proposed. Because linear modal superposition has found great acceptances in performance-based seismic engineering\, it is here extended to the nonlinear domain by using the force analogy method\, where the change in stiffness after yielding is replaced by a change in displacement. Geometric nonlinearity will be incorporated in the analysis using nonlinear stability functions. State space method is used to explicitly calculate the dynamic responses of each modal single-degree-of-freedom system. Through the combination of the force analogy method\, stability functions\, state space method\, and modal superposition\, both nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) and nonlinear response spectra analysis (NRSA) are performed and results will be presented to contain both accuracy and efficiency \nBiography\nDr. Kevin Wong is a Research Structural Engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, a part of the Department of Commerce and the Federal Government in the United States. His research interests include earthquake engineering and structural dynamics\, nonlinear analysis\, stability\, structural control\, and energy dissipation. His job at NIST is to conduct research for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (also known as NEHRP) in advancing the measurement science technology in performance-based seismic engineering. Prior to joining NIST\, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Utah for 4 years and at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore for 6 years. He has published over 30 journal papers\, over 30 conference papers\, and 1 book titled “Structural Dynamics for Structural Engineers”. He received his master and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA).

SUMMARY:Decision Support Systems in Water Resources and Environmental Management
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nDr. Kevin Wong\nResearch Structural Engineer\nDepartment of Commerce and the Federal Government\nNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\nUSA \nAbstract\nThe design\, construction and use of decision support systems in water resources and environmental management is illustrated by the application of GMCR II to a controversy over the pollution of an underground aquifer that was apparently caused by a chemical factory. The decision support system GMCR II helps analysts gain a systematic understanding of strategic conflicts in the real world\, thereby producing valuable strategic advice for decision makers. The capacity of GMCR II to model a conflict effectively depends on its flexible procedures to elicit key characteristics of the conflict\, such as the relative preferences of each decision maker. Using these procedures\, underlying mathematical structures are automatically calibrated so that advanced algorithms can carry out a comprehensive analysis of the model. Practitioners and researchers in water resources and environmental management have played pioneering roles in the development and application of noteworthy decision support systems based on both physical and societal systems models. This technology has permitted them to address a wide range of challenging systems problems\, which will be extended much further in the future. \nReference\nThis presentation is based upon research contained in the following paper: \nHipel\, K.W.\, Fang\, L.\, and Kilgour\, D.M.\, “Decision Support Systems in Water Resources and Environmental Management”\, Journal of Hydrologic Engineering\, Vol. 13\, No. 9\, pp. 761-770\, 2008.

SUMMARY:Symposium on Ground Improvement Techniques (地基改良技術研討會)
DESCRIPTION:Language:    \nChinese/English\n\n\nRegistration Fee:    \nMOP100 (Please see attachment)\n\n\n\n  \nAbstract\nExperts and scholars from mainland\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong and Macao are invited to share their experience on the topic of ground improvement techniques to the engineering community of Macao. As the land resource is very limited in Macao\, land reclamation and construction on unfavorable ground are more common nowadays. Thus\, ground improvement has become an important portion of those projects. In this seminar\, case histories from local and adjacent cities will be presented\, and analysis\, design\, construction aspects of ground improvement will be discussed. \nSpeakers:\nEng. H. Novais Ferreira (LECM)\nProf. A.T. Yeung (HKU)\nProf. J.H. Wang (Jiao Tong University\, Shanghai)\nDr. H.I. Lee (EarthMac Asia)\nDr. Z-C. Mok (MAA\, Taiwan) \nOrganized by:\nDSSOPT\nDept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Macau\nAEM (The Macau Institution of Engineers)\nLECM (Civil Engineering Laboratory of Macau)\nMacau Association for Geotechnical Engineering\nHong Kong Geotechnical Engineering Society \nAttachment \n
