Aluminum windows are crucial components of building envelopes since they connect the indoor space to the external environment. Various external causes degrade or harm the functioning of aluminum windows. In this regard, inspecting the performance of aluminum windows is a necessary task to keep buildings healthy. This review illustrates the deterioration mechanisms of aluminum windows under various environmental conditions with an intention to provide comprehensive information for developing damage protection and inspection technologies. The illustrations reveal that moisture and chloride ions have the most detrimental effect on deteriorating aluminum windows in the long run, while mechanical loads can damage aluminum windows in a sudden manner. In addition, multiple advanced inspection techniques potential to benefit assessing aluminum window health state are discussed in order to help tackle the efficiency problem of traditional visual inspection. The comparison among those techniques demonstrates that infrared thermography can help acquire a preliminary defect profile of inspected windows, whereas ultrasonic phased arrays technology demonstrates a high level of competency in analyzing comprehensive defect information. This review also discusses the challenges in the scarcity of nanoscale corrosion information for insightful understandings of aluminum window corrosion and reliable window inspection tools for lifespan prediction. In this regard, molecular dynamics simulation and artificial intelligence technology are recommended as promising tools for better revealing the deterioration mechanisms and advancing inspection techniques, respectively, for future directions. It is envisioned that this paper will help upgrade the aluminum window inspection scheme and contribute to driving the construction of intelligent and safe cities.

The all-steel attached lifting protection platform widely employed in recent years has always suffered from self-weight issues and corrosion. Aluminum alloy is the ideal option for steel owing to its low bulk density and resistance to corrosion and rust. However, its elastic modulus is insufficient, causing the deformation of the structure to easily exceed the limitation of the Code for Design of Aluminum Alloy Structures. Therefore, this study recommended using sorbite stainless steel with high strength and a reasonable price as the guide rail of a protection platform having a significant force in conjunction with aluminum alloy to maximize their advantages. Regarding the overall structure, Midas GEN was used to verify whether their deformation adheres to the specifications. For exploring the stiffness of exact nodes, the wall-attached support was modeled by Abaqus, discovering that its maximum composite deformation is 0.725 mm, and its highest stress (490.2 MPa) appears at the intersection of the bottom and the side plate. Additionally, the influence of three key factors (the cantilever height of the protection platform, the horizontal spacing between two wall-attached supports, and the sectional size of the main frame fittings) on the structural deformation was investigated. Finally, the cost per extension meter was compared between the all-steel and the novel sorbite stainless steel-aluminum alloy attached lifting protection platform. The findings of the aforementioned works can effectively guide the design and construction of this novel structure and play a crucial role in its popularization and application.

“…Compared with structural steel, reinforced concrete (RC) is traditionally considered to be unfavorable in long-span floor systems because of its small modulus of elasticity and large proportion of self-weight in the design load [ 1 , 2 ]. With this in mind, voided (V) slabs were designed to compensate for these shortcomings; in these slabs, the concrete volume of the section with a low contribution to flexural resistance is eliminated, thereby reducing weight [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Current and New Approaches to Predict the Deflections of One-Way Flexural Members with a Focus on Composite Steel Deck Slabs Voided by Circular Tubes

A new type of composite voided slab, the TUBEDECK (TD), which utilizes the structural function of profiled steel decks, has recently been proposed. Previous studies have confirmed that the flexural strength of TD slabs can be calculated based on the full composite contribution of the steel deck, but for long-span flexural members, the deflection serviceability requirement is often dominant. Herein, we derived a novel deflection prediction approach using the results of flexural tests on slab specimens, focusing on TD slabs. First, deflection prediction based on modifications of the current code was proposed. Results revealed that TD slabs exhibited smaller long-term deflections and at least 10% longer maximum span lengths than solid slabs, indicating their greater efficiency. Second, a novel rational method was derived for predicting deflections without computing the effective moment of inertia. The ultimate deflections predicted by the proposed method correlated closely with the deflection under maximum bending moments. To calculate immediate deflections, variation functions for the concrete strain at the extreme compression fiber and neutral axis depth were assumed with predictions in good agreement with experiments. The proposed procedure has important implications in highlighting a new perspective on the deflection prediction of reinforced concrete and composite flexural members.
