To comply with recent international trends and initiatives, and in order to help achieve sustainable development, Korea has established a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 37% (851 million tons) of the business as usual (BAU) rate by 2030. Regarding environmentally-oriented standards such as the IGCC (International Green Construction Code), there are also rising demands for the ...

At the dawn of this century, the European Commission launched the Lisbon Strategy, which was revisited in 2010 with the Europe 2020 Strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. In order to put the strategy into a more concrete form, the concept of the ‘Knowledge Triangle (KT)’ has been introduced. It links together Research, Education and Innovation and sheds some new light on the I...

How early in the software development cycle are most performance defects found? Before or after QA? Industry pundits have long sought to reduce costs by fixing software defects earlier in the cycle. The path to these cost reductions, however, is fraught with road blocks. This paper focuses on a concrete testing regimen that works around these longstanding obstacles. It empowers developers to fi...

This paper presents a novel approach for reusing metrics. Contrasting a lot of work related to this issue, we are focusing on reusing metric specifications. By introducing reusability concepts such as genericity and variation points to metric specification we enable the creation of reusable ones. On the other hand this allows deriving project specific concrete metrics based on reusable metric s...

Software testing is one of the most popular validation techniques in the software industry. Surprisingly, we can only find a few approaches to testing in the context of logic programming. In this paper, we introduce a systematic approach for dynamic testing that combines both concrete and symbolic execution. Our approach is fully automatic and guarantees full path coverage when it terminates. W...

this paper presents theoretical and numerical state-of-the-art information in the field of hygro-thermo-mechanical deformation simulation in structural concrete. the aspects discussed include coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical performance of porous materials including concrete, multi-scale simulation of concrete properties especially the volumetric and structural deformation performance, and the m...

Pervious Concrete is a new type of concrete used widely in the construction industry. It has good physical and also mechanical properties, it gives strength. mainly water management system. So, by using this application, very famous. There are many advantages to pervious concrete, compared regular conventional some special properties. The property permeability. In transfer or transmission air i...

Composites have been in application for the past 3 – 4 decades, but only in the last decade that engineers have been given any serious consideration for its application in civil infrastructure: such as bridges, roads, earthquake retrofitting of buildings etc. In this paper the growth of application of composites in civil infrastructures and some of its implications are discussed. This paper is ...
