Environmental assessment of magnesium oxychloride cement samples : a case study in Europe by Kastiukas, Gediminas, Ruan, Shaoqin, Unluer, Cise, Liang, Shuang, Zhou, Xiangming

“…Meanwhile, a sensitivity analysis in terms of shipping reactive magnesia from China to Europe was performed. Results indicated that the preparation of MOC samples with higher molar ratios led to more severe overall environmental impacts and greater CO2 sequestration potentials due to the difference of energies required for the production of MgO and MgCl2∙6H2O as well as their various CO2 binding capacities, whereas in terms of CO2 intensities, the molar ratios in MOC samples should be carefully selected depending on the strength requirements of the applications. …”

Daily Maersk’s impacts on shipper’s supply chain inventories and implications for the liner shipping industry by Zhang, Abraham, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee

“…This research is motivated by the launch of the revolutionary “Daily Maersk” service in late 2011, which introduced daily departures and “absolute reliability” in the Asia–North Europe trade lane. This paper analyzes Daily Maersk’s impacts on a shipper's supply chain inventories and profound implications for the liner shipping industry as a game changer. …”

Flexural-torsional buckling behaviour of fixed-ended hot-rolled austenitic stainless steel equal-leg angle section columns by Liang, Yating, Jeyapragasam, Vijaya Vengadesh Kumar, Zhang, Lulu, Zhao, Ou

“…The derived test and finite element results were carefully analysed and then utilised to evaluate the accuracy of the established design rules in Europe, America and Australia/New Zealand. Comparisons of the failure loads derived from the experimental and numerical studies with the corresponding codified flexural-torsional buckling strength predictions revealed an unduly high level of conservatism and scatter. …”

Behaviour and residual compression resistances of circular high strength concrete-filled stainless steel tube (HCFSST) stub columns after exposure to fire by He, An, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…Due to the lack of existing design codes for concrete-filled stainless steel tube members and concrete-filled carbon steel tube members after exposure to fire, the corresponding codified design provisions for circular concrete-filled carbon steel tube members at room temperature, as established in Europe, Australia and America, were evaluated for their suitability to circular HCFSST stub columns after exposure to fire, based on the test and numerical parametric study results. …”

Flexural buckling behaviour and resistances of circular high strength concrete-filled stainless steel tube columns by He, An, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…Owing to the lack of international design codes for stainless steel–high strength concrete composite structures, the relevant codified design rules for circular normal strength concrete-filled carbon steel tube columns failing by flexural buckling, as used in Europe, America and Australia/New Zealand, were assessed for their applicability to circular HCFSST columns, based on the obtained experimental and numerical data. …”

Local stability of press-braked stainless steel angle and channel sections : testing, numerical modelling and design analysis by Zhang, Lulu, Tan, Kang Hai, Zhao, Ou

“…The results obtained from the structural testing and numerical modelling were adopted to evaluate the accuracy of the codified local buckling design provisions established in America, Europe and Australia and New Zealand. The evaluation results revealed that all the design codes greatly underestimate the cross-section resistances of press-braked stainless steel equal-leg angle and plain channel section stub columns and laterally restrained beams, mainly attributed to the neglect of the pronounced material strain hardening effect of stainless steel in the design. …”

Testing and numerical modelling of S960 ultra-high strength steel angle and channel section stub columns by Wang, Fangying, Zhao, Ou, Young, Ben

“…It is worth noting that the current international standards established in Europe, America and Australia/New Zealand only cover the design of structural members with material grades up to S700, and thus the examined S960 UHSS angle and channel section stub columns are out of the scope of the existing design standards. …”
