Concrete-filled steel tubular columns (CFST) have high bearing capacity, high stiffness and good ductility. The columns with square or rectangular section are more suitable for compression bending than round. However, its lateral binding force is small in the middle of the section, and local buckling is easy to occur. Stiffened Square Concrete Filled Steel Tubular columns (SSCFST) are proposed to solve the problem that ordinary square concrete filled steel tubular columns(SCFST) are prone to appear local buckling before reaching the limits of carrying capacity in 3 cases such as the thinner steel tube wall, the larger diameter to thickness ratio or width to thickness ratio. SSCFST are SCFST added with stiffening ribs, stiffening hoops and binding bars. By its set, the lateral stiffness and the resistance ability of the local buckling of the steel tube are effectively enhanced, so the confinement effects of the steel tube to core concrete become stronger and more uniform. To compare the improved effects of SSCFST and SCFST with binding bars under eccentric compression, the paper compiles the solving procedure of the cross section grid unit method which can accurately solve the whole process curve of SSCFST under eccentric compression. The whole process curves show that the eccentric bearing capacity and ductility of SSCFST are obviously improved with respect to SCFST with binding bars.

During the past two decades of the e-commerce growth the concept of business model has become increasingly popular. More recently, the research on this realm has grown rapidly with a diverse research activity covering a wide range of application areas. Considering the sustainable development goals the innovative business models have brought a competitive advantage to improve the sustainability performance of organizations. The concept of the sustainable business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural or other contexts in a sustainable way. The process of sustainable business model construction forms an innovative part of business strategy. Different industries and businesses have utilized sustainable business models’ concept to satisfy their economic, environmental and social goals simultaneously. However, the success, popularity, and the progress of sustainable business models in different application domains are not clear. To explore this issue, this research provides a comprehensive review of sustainable business models literature in various application areas. Notable sustainable business models are identified and further classified in fourteen unique categories, and in every category, the progress -either failure or success- has been reviewed and the research gaps are discussed. Taxonomy of the applications includes innovation, management and marketing, entrepreneurship, energy, fashion, healthcare, agri-food, supply chain management, circular economy, developing countries, engineering, construction and real estate, mobility and transportation, and hospitality. The key contribution of this study is to provide an insight into the state of the art of sustainable business models in various application areas and future research directions. This paper concludes that popularity and the success rate of sustainable business models in all application domains have been increased along with

The Gaoligong Mountain Tunnel of Dali-Ruili Railway is located between the Nujiang River and the Longling County Town in the southeastern section of the Hengduan Mountains, China. In geological history, this area was affected by multiple tectonic movements, and the faulted structures are extremely developed. During the drilling inspection hole of No.2 vertical shaft, boring tool stuck and the hole collapse once happened. Its depth was 643.12 m, the outcropped strata were all granite or weathered granite (fracture zones). 7 fracture zones with thickness > 10 m were uncovered, the maximum thickness of which was 112.95 m; and 7 water bearing strata were uncovered, of which the buried depth of groundwater table was all less than 34m, the permeability coefficients(k) were 0.005~0.158 m/d. It was estimated that the water inflow of ④ ~ ⑦ aquifers of the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft of No. 2 shaft were all greater than 120 m3/d (5 m3/h), that normal water inflow of main shaft and auxiliary shaft of No.2 vertical shaft would be 125.92 m3/h and 90.08 m3/h respectively. In order to avoid water inrush and wall caving accidents during the construction of the two shafts, it was decided to adopt the surface pre-grouting method in the construction of the shafts to block off and reinforce the ④ aquifer and the strata under the aquifer. The 'S' shaped directional drilling technology was used; the two sequences, segmented downward, multiple-times grouting mode was adopted; clay-cement slurry was selected as the grouting material. After grouting, pump yield water tests were carried out in two grouting holes of main shaft and auxiliary shaft. The remaining water inflow in grouting sections of two shafts was 5.02 m3/h and 5.70 m3/h respectively, and the rates of water blocking were all over 93%. The grouting effect was remarkable. The successful implementation of the surface pre-grouting project of No.2 vertical shaft in Gaoligong Mountain Tunnel of Dali-Ruili Railway has important

In order to study the modification mechanism of red mud-asphalt, the asphalt was divided into asphaltene, saturate and aromatic by introducing molecular simulation technology. A typical molecular model was used to represent each component of asphalt. The asphalt molecular model was constructed. Hematite and Fe-Al garnet were used to represent the red mud structure. The asphalt-hematite model and the asphalt-iron-aluminum garnet model were simulated by molecular dynamics method,to obtain the microcosmic mechanism of asphalt. The results show that the tectonic energy of the asphalt-hematite molecular system is more torsional energy, which indicates that the surface activity of the asphalt molecules in the hematite is more intense than that of the asphalt-iron-aluminum garnet, which also reflects the Hematite surface has a greater activity;and asphalt-iron-aluminum garnet molecular system changes in the larger range is van der Waals, mineral surface geometry constraints and surface charge effects, resulting in a easier diffusion when asphalt is in the hematite mineral surface and the radial distribution function shows that the aggregation of asphalt on iron-aluminum garnet is more obvious than that of asphalt in hematite.

Light pipe systems (LPS) are simple devices that allow the transmission of daylight into interiors of buildings. It is a convenient concept for illumination of windowless parts of buildings. The light performance of this is highly dependent on the solar altitude due to the small inlet aperture. Placing the laser-cut panel (LCP) at the entrance aperture in light pipe system, will increase the light performance during low solar angle. This paper presents the results of light performance a 400mm diameter light pipe integrated with a laser-cut panel at entrance aperture as collector. For that reason, this research adopted an experimental approach to compare the light pipe performance via 1:10 scale model. Two scale models were built. LCP in the form of pyramids was fitted at the entrance aperture of light pipe in different tilted angle 40° and 47.5°. The system has been monitored 30 minutes interval with lux meter to evaluate the improvement light performance on a working plane for 6 days under good sky condition. The results of this experiment shows that LCP with 40° tilted angle performed better than 47.5° tilted angle. The light pipe with LCP as collector the minimum recommended illuminance by Malaysian Standard (MS) 1525:2007 can be achieved as early at 8am.

Today, in the current Vietnamese design standards for semi-precast reinforced concrete and steel frame structural systems, the connections of main elements such as beams and columns are commonly considered as either perfectly hinged or rigidly fixed. This assumption is adopted because of the simplicity in design and analysis process but it is not consistent with actual behaviour in practice of structural systems. The connections between columns and beams have partial restraint depending on the type of used connection. The analysis of structural system with consideration of the effect of this restraint would result more exactly and economically. However, it is also more time required because of complexity of analysis process with consideration of flexibility of connections in the case of lack of suitable calculation method. The paper presents the analysis of plane frame systems with different of models of semi-rigid connections using finite element method. The analysis process was implemented by MathCad programming software and the results of this study will obtained by conducting of numerical examples. From there the conclusions and recommendation of calculation and design for steel and semi-precast frame systems will be proposed.
