Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWind Load Effects on Manufactured Home FoundationsRamesh K. Dhungana, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie H. FiniProblem statement: Manufactured homes are susceptible to hurricane damage. Each year, significant losses, in terms of fatalities and property damage, are reported. There is always a prevalent concern about lateral load resistance capacity of tie-down system of manufactured homes when subjected to windstorms. This study is performed to determine the effects of hurricane wind on manufactured homes’ foundations. Approach: A … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Convergence-Confinement Method: Roles and Limits in Modern Geomechanical Tunnel DesignPierpaolo OresteThe convergence-confinement method, based on the analysis of the stress and strain state that develops in the rock around a circular tunnel, has been presented in this study with the two analytical solutions that have been most frequently used in recent years. Problem statement: Thanks to the increased power of electronic processors and the spread of numerical methods, the role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 10,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation on the Behavior of Rigid Polyvinylchloride Pipes Subjected to Uniaxial Compression LoadsAbdullah Ali Nasser Alhamati, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Jamalodin Norzaie et al.The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads was experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Eigenstructure Assignment for a Static Synchronous CompensatorAhmad N. Al-HusbanProblem statement: Power flow through an AC transmission line is influenced by three basic electrical parameters, which are line impedance, magnitudes and phase-shift angle between the sending and receiving voltages. Therefore, the change in any of the three basic parameters means a change in the power flow through the transmission line. The aims of this research paper are: increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHENOTYPING, VIRULENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF AEROMONAS SPECIES AND THE EFFECTS OF ESSENTIAL PLANT OILS AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS AGAINST PATHOGENIC ISOLATES FROM DIFFERENT SOURCESAhmed M.A. Mansour, Hoda M. Zaki, Nibal A. Hassan, Nihad A.M. El-NasharAeromonas species are increasingly recognized as enteric pathogens. Faecal samples from 20 cow, 45 sheep; 60 goat and 60 camels were examined for the presence of Aeromonas species, which was also sought in the available drinking water (55 well water and 52 drinking chlorinated tap water were also examined). Aeromonas species was isolated more frequently from goats (21.7%) than from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2014 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReview of Signal Processing Techniques for Detection of Power Quality EventsAbhijith Augustine, Ruban Deva Prakash, Rajy Xavier, Mareeta Cheriyan ParasseryThe challenging process industry requires true power for its smooth functioning and here comes the importance of good power or power. The term Power Quality (PQ) aims at supplying true power to the process. The scope of the power quality increased with the introduction of newly designed sophisticated devices like computers and microcontrollers. The performances of these devices are extremely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2016 · 8,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Evaluation of the Groundwater Influence on the Stress and Strain Behavior around a Tunnel by Analytical MethodsPierpaolo OresteThe presence of an aquifer in the soil causes a change in a relevant way of the stability conditions of a tunnel. The flow of water in the pores, in fact, modifies the stress and strain state of the soil and causes an increase in the thickness of the plastic zone. As a result the loads transmitted on the lining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2015 · 6,459 accessesView PDFCite
