Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRestrained Shrinkage-Induced Cracking of Light Weight High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious CompositesShaikh Faiz Uddin Ahmed, Hirozo MihashiProblem statement: Shrinkage induced cracking cause damage to reinforced concrete structures. An experimental study was conducted on restrained shrinkage test of cement mortar and light weight High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC). Approach: Two types of light weight HPFRCC and a premix mortar containing small amount of fiber were included in the experiment. Results: Results showed the multiple cracks, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Applied Local Wisdom to Manage Water for Developing Riverside Community: A Case Study of the Lam Ta Kong River BasinSurapong Kongsat, Anongrit Kangrang, Kitti Srisa-ArdProblem statement: An integrated water resource management is accepted technique to solve the water resource problems both water shortage and flood plane in order to improve human life. The combination between local wisdom and modern technology by farmer participation is a main part of integrated management. The mentioned techniques had been being applied for human life in the northeast region … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rigorous Proof for the Invariant Study of the Problem in Section VI in "Matched Subspace Detectors"Fangyuan Nan, Yaonan Wang, Fuhai LiProblem statement: This research provided rigorous proof for the invariant study of the problem in section VI in "matched subspace detectors". About 14 years ago an important research entitled "matched subspace detectors" was published in IEEE transactions on signal processing, Vol. 42, No. 8, August 1994. Since its publication, the study has been widely cited in many areas. The main … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPile Instrumentation Using Retrievable SensorsFaisal Hj. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, Lee Sieng KaiStrain gauges are normally used to monitor the shortening or compression of pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,616 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Three Dimensional RC Infilled Frame - RC Plane Frame Interactions With Slab for Seismic ResistanceSuyamburaja Arulselvan, K. SubramanianExperimental investigation was planned and conducted to study the influence of brick masonry infill and slab in a three-dimensional reinforced cement concrete frame. In this study, one-fifth scale 3D R.C frame representing single story, three bays with central bay brick infill at the sides and a long single bay without infill in the middle of the frame along loading direction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Optimization of Composite I Beam Floor SystemUroš Klanšek, Stojan KravanjaThe paper presents the cost optimization of the composite I beam floor system. The composite I beam floor system is designed to be constructed up of a reinforced concrete slab and doubly-symmetrical welded steel I beams. The optimization was performed by the nonlinear programming approach, NLP. An accurate objective function of the manufacturing material, power and labour costs was developed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBending Moments Distribution at the Main Structural Elements of Skew Deck-Slab and Their Implementation on Cost EffectivenessMaher KakishThe distribution of bending moments in T-beam deck slab varies from one T-beam to another. The design of T-beams should be based on the actual bending moments each beam is subjected to for the purpose of achieving economy especially in bridge deck slab, extended over big area. The saving in some cases is substantial due to reducing the quantities of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Software Architecture Concepts into the MDA Platform with UML ProfileAdel Alti, Tahar Khammaci, Adel SmedaArchitecture Description Languages (ADLs) provide an abstract representation of software systems. Achieving a concrete mapping of such representation into the implementation is one of the principal aspects of MDA (Model Driven Architecture). Integration of ADLs within MDA confers to the MDA platform a higher level of abstraction and a degree of reuse of ADLs. Indeed they have significantly different platform … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Simulation and Parametric Studies of Perfobond Rib ConnectorSuhaib Yahya Kasim Al-Darzi, Ai Rong Chen, Yu Qing LiuSimulating the push-out test and conducting parametric study using finite element model are conducted using perfobond connectors. The finite element model was verified through comparing with push-out test results. The verified finite element model was then used to conduct parametric study aiming to investigate the effect of several parameters, such as height and thickness of connector, cross sectional area and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,223 accessesView PDFCite
