Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Rate-Dependent Interaction Diagrams for Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Wonchang Choi, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: There is a need to better understand the rate dependence behavior of reinforced concrete structures in order to improve their response to impact and blast loads. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic loadings has been recommended in many FEMA guidelines. However, reevaluation of design becomes extremely important in cases where large deformations are expected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotostability of Ponceau 2R Doped Thin Film Sol-Gel Silica as Luminescent Solar CollectorS.M. RedaProblem statement: Current researches had shown that the photostability of a luminescent solar collector depend on the method of its preparation and type of using dye. This research therefore aimed at studying the stability of luminescent solar collector prepared by sol-gel spin coating method using Ponceau 2R. Approach: The effect of silica matrix on the photostability and fluorescence properties of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRate Effect on Pullout Behavior of Steel Fibers Embedded in Very-High Strength ConcreteTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Brian ZornigProblem statement: Rate dependence of the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) composites has received little or no attention so far. Approach: In this research, the bond-slip mechanisms of four types of steel fibers embedded in VHSC matrices were investigated through single-fiber pullout tests with the loading rates and matrix strengths are the primary variables. This study presented the experimental results of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDairy Heifer Rearing in Hot Arid Zone: An Economic AssessmentM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al-MutawaProblem statement: Economic losses due to high mortality in young calves born in hot arid zone including Kuwait and a high cost of rearing are the main constraints to this region. Therefore, dairy producers have to depend on importation of pregnant heifers for herd replacement. Research data on cost of heifer rearing from their weaning to first lactation were lacking. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,536 accessesView PDFCite
