New weathering classification system of rocks based on the engineering properties
No full textThe purpose of this case study is to introduce a new weathering classification system of rocks based on the engineering properties. Even though several authors have suggested different classification systems worldwide, limited research has been conducted to propose a classification system that includes more than two engineering properties. To suggest a better system to classify the rock, four rock types belonging to different weathering grades were tested (around 150 tests) to determine the point load index (Is (50)), slake durability index (Id2), density, mineralogy, and microstructure. The mineralogy and microstructure of fresh and weathered samples were observed by conducting X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests. The Is (50), Id2, and density appeared to decrease as weathering grade increased, albeit with relatively high correlation coefficient. The statistical analysis, including multiple linear regression, was used to identify the correlations between those parameters. The increase in clay mineral content, microcracks, and pore density was observed in the weathered samples when comparing to fresh samples. The obtained test results were used to develop engineering classification systems (ECS) which provide a quick estimation of engineering properties of the weathered rock. The proposed ECS are developed using the relevant published literature. Therefore, these classifications can be used generally to predict the engineering properties of basalt, argillite, sandstone, and greywacke.No Full Tex

Reducing fire risk in buildings: the role of fire safety expertise and governance in building and planning approval
No full textFollowing the Grenfell tower incident, fire safety is being re-examined around the world. One key area is planning and building approval. It has been suggested that expert fire authority advice is being ignored in building and planning control. In this paper, freedom of information requests were submitted to fifty local government authorities (covering approx. one quarter of the England and Wales population), and three fire authorities, to examine their consultation process. No prior study has
examined this relationship in detail. This work attempts to identify who is assessing fire safety, what expertise exists in the system, and what guidance is available from central government. The impact of austerity on the ability to effectively manage fire safety is also discussed. Results show local government authorities have a large degree of discretion with no guidance from central government on fire safety expertise needed to assess non prescriptive building standards, and only limited guidance on how fire authority advice should be used by local government. The result is a dramatically different level of engagement of fire authorities, and implementation of fire safety advice. There does not appear to be any guarantee that fire expertise is being employed for the purpose
of fire safety in building/ planning processes. This means the building regulatory regime may be one of the many issues contributing to fire safety issues. Stronger legislation is required to prevent a post-code lottery of fire safety implementation
Phenomenological psychology & descriptive experience sampling: a new approach to exploring music festival experience
No full textThis paper provides in-depth discussion of a methodological
approach to researching music festival experience. Grounded in existential phenomenology (Heidegger, 1927/1962. Being and time (J. Macquarrie and E. Robinson, Trans.). Oxford: Blackwell) it argues for the adoption of an interpretative phenomenological perspective (Merleau–Ponty, 1945/1962. Phenomenology of perception (C. Smith, Trans.). New York, NY: Humanities Press) to more fully understand the live music festival experience.
Phenomenological psychology (Smith, Harre and Van angenhove,
1995. Ideography and the case–study. In J. A. Smith, R. Harre, & L.Van Langenhove (Eds.), Rethinking psychology (pp. 59–69). London:
SAGE Publications) contextualises the music festival experience within the attendee’s Lifeworld. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) (Smith, 2015. Qualitative psychology: A practical guide to research methods (3rd ed.). Los Angeles, CA: Sage Publications Ltd) provides a robust process for analysing the music festival experience ideographically. Participants used Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES)(Hurlburt & Heavey, 2001. Telling what we know: Describing inner experience. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 5(9), 400–403) to record their Green Man music festival experiences, this data was then explored during phenomenological interviews. DES and IPA provide a contrasting conceptualisation of experience, with
findings that contribute to Ashworth’s (2003b. The
phenomenology of the lifeworld and social psychology. Social
Psychology Review, 5(1), 18–34) theories of Lifeworld and Krueger’s (2014b. Varieties of extended emotions. Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, 13(4), 533–555) Hypothesis of Individual Extended Emotions and his Hypothesis of Collective Extended Emotions. Lastly, building upon the application and adaptability to
the music festival context allows a consideration of future studies
