Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn-Plane Behavior of Infills using Glass Fiber Shear Connectors in Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) TechniqueFarhad Akhoundi, Graça Vasconcelos, Paulo LourençoMasonry has a widespread use in the construction of the buildings even in reinforced concrete or steel frames. Past earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of masonry infills resulted in the human life losses and economic costs. Recently innovative strengthening techniques such as Textile Reinforced Mortar technique (TRM) is used for enhancing the seismic response of the infills. Different procedures were … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2018 · 9,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStability of Rock Pillars with Singular and Persistent DiscontinuitiesPierpaolo OresteProblem statement: The strength of rock pillars in the presence of single, persistent, natural discontinuities can seriously be compromised and lead the pillar to collapse because of instability along the discontinuity itself. Approach: A specific analysis method for this kind of problem has been set up in this study to evaluate the stability of pillars and to determine the dimension … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsConstrained Response Surface Optimization for a Laser Beam Welding ProcessPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: On a current operating condition of a laser beam welding process in the hard disk drive industry, it has been found that shear strength of the head support and suspension assembly is slightly higher than customers' specification. This situation leads to an inspection with a large sample size and a high frequency. Shear strength is not only one … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn situ Shear Tests of Soil Samples with Grass Roots in Alpine EnvironmentE. Comino, A. DruettaProblem statement: The presence of vegetation increases the soil burden stability along slopes and reduces soil erosion. Its contribution is due to mechanical (reinforcing soil shear resistance) and hydrologic controls on streambank and superficial landslides. This study presented the results carried out from experimental in situ test focused to study the increased shear resistance of soil blocks due to root-reinforcement. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSmall-Scale Test of Transparent Adhesives in Glass Structures under Shear Stress and Their Ageing ResistanceMarkéta Zikmundová, Martina EliášováGlass load-bearing structures, which have been popular in recent years, require careful attention to detail, because with improper design there is a concentration of stress leading to failure and subsequent collapse of the structure. Mechanical connections are mainly used but there are disadvantages such as stress peaks, weakening of the cross-section, or aesthetic reasons. Adhesive connections eliminate these disadvantages. The … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2022 · 6,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBonding Property of Bituminous Crack Sealants in the Presence of WaterEllie Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehProblem statement: Crack sealing and filling is the most widely used maintenance activity for in-service pavements. If an appropriate sealant material is selected and properly installed at the appropriate time of the pavement life, it retards pavement deterioration and increases its service life at a relatively low cost. However, in some cases it is reported that sealants failed prematurely, mainly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2011 · 8,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDefect Classification of Reinforced Concrete Structures with Nondestructive Tests Using Statistical and Machine Learning MethodsSajjad Sayyar-Roudsari, Armaghan Shalbaftabar, Farshid Damirchilo et al.In this study, twelve reinforced concrete beams were constructed, each with specified dimensions and initial compressive strength. The beams were divided into four groups: A control group without any defect, a void group featuring a centrally located void, a corrosion group and a debonding group. The impact echo test was used for nondestructive testing, gathering data on compressive and shear … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 11 Jun 2024 · 5,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Moisture Content and Loading Orientation on Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Tiger NutLong Wang, Can Hu, Wensong Guo et al.The physical and mechanical properties of the newly “Zhongyousha No.1” and the traditional “Yousha” Chinese tiger nut varieties are studied. Several physical and mechanical properties of the two tiger nut varieties were determined as a function of moisture content (at five levels of 40.0, 32.0, 24.0, 16.0 and 8.0% wet basis). The physical and mechanical properties including length, width, thickness, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2021 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Reliable Method of Analysis for Geotechnical DataAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGeotechnical engineering is the art of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty, where real world problems are treated and this is associated with uncertainties arising from various sources. The sources of uncertainty may be divided into uncertainties of nature and uncertainties of mind. The uncertainties of nature are due to variation of encountered phenomena, e.g., the shear strength in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2020 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
