Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Infill Walls Under Cyclic Loading Strengthening with CFRPMojtaba Fallahi, Sajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Mona Haghighifar, Rahmat MadandoostNowadays, using infill isolators in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is very common. In earlier research this infill isolators are usually considered as non-structural elements, but in recent researches it was demonstrated that infill has considerable effects on natural period, stiffness, strength and overall behavior of structure specially when it is subjected to seismic ground motions. In this study a one-bay … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Jul 2018 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with SFRP Using Finite Element MethodJalil Khani, Mohsen Bozorg, Seyed Mehdi ZahraiCurrently, various methods have been used for repairing and retrofitting reinforced concrete columns including Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) jackets in order to improve load bearing capacity. However, the enclosure mechanism is less known by consideration of the effects of slender columns which needs much more studies. Avoiding the buckling of a slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) column against the compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2018 · 8,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened by FRP Bars Subjected to Impact Loading ConditionsSajjad Roudsari, Sameer Hamoush, Sayed Soleimani et al.Civil engineers have considered Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials to enhance the performance of structural members subjected to static and dynamic loading conditions. However, there are some design limitations due to uncertainty in the behavior of such strengthened members. This fact is particularly important when considering the complex nature of the nonlinear behavior of materials, the impact loading conditions and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Apr 2018 · 9,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Instability of Shape-Memory Alloys in Seismic Isolation SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Corneliu Cismasiu, Francisco Braz FernandesShape-memory alloys are being progressively introduced as kernel components in seismic retrofitting devices for civil engineering structures. In order to control the instability associated with the first mechanical cycles, a training procedure is usually implemented, which stabilizes the superelastic behavior of the alloy. This paper addresses the characterization of the cyclic behavior of an austenitic NiTi alloy with emphasis on … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2018 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CORROSION CRACK IN R.C. FOR SECOND TUNNEL LINING BY USING KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMYousif Abdulwahid Mansoor, ZhiQiang ZhangDuring the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,659 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis and Components Irreversiblities of a (25 MW) Gas Turbine Power Plant Modeled with a Spray CoolerFidelis Ibiang Abam, Ikpi U. Ugot, Dodeye Ina IgbongIn this study the effect of inlet air cooling system and components irreversibilities on the performance of an active 25MW gas turbine power plant was investigated. The objective of this study was to establish the potential benefits of improving the performance of the current gas turbine plant into a more advanced cycle with high efficiency and power output through inlet … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 9,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchronous Generator Disturbance Provoked by Induction Motor StartingS. P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E. F. Carvalho, L. N. MartinsProblem statement: This study presented an alternative procedure for the starting of large Inductions Motors (IM) in isolated generation systems. Approach: In isolated generation systems on stand-by or base load, the starting of the IM provoked sags frequently beyond the ability of the other consumers in the plant to stand. Manufacturers' solutions always recommend a supersized generator to decrease transient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,939 accessesView PDFCite
