Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlexural and Tensile Characteristics of Micro Fiber-Reinforced Very High Strength Concrete Thin PanelsTaher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Monique LumpkinThe purpose of this research was to experimentally characterize the flexural and tensile characteristics of fiber-reinforced Very High-Strength Concrete (VHSC) panels. The panels were made with a unique mix of cementitous materials achieving compressive strength of 26,000 psi (180 MPa) or greater. VHSC panels were reinforced with polypropylene fibers of 1 inch (25.4 mm) in length and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,495 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Therapy Improved Hand Function in a Patient with Traumatic Peripheral Lesion: A Case StudyMarco Orsini, Julio Guilherme Silva, Clynton Lourenco Correa et al.Problem statement: Nerves are frequently injured by traumatic lesions, such as crushing, compression (entrapment), stretching, partial and total extraction, resulting in damages to the transmission of nerve impulses and to the reduction or loss of sensitivity, to the motility and to the reflexes of the innervated area. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of a rehabilitation … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 6 Aug 2012 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beam Strengthened by Transverse External Post-tensionSayan Sirimontree, Boonsap Witchayangkoon, Nathavudh Khaosri, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Shear failure of concrete beam is brittle manner without warning so inadequate design for shear of beam and/or material deterioration lead to the possibility of sudden failure of beam. The change of functional use and future increased load of structure lead to the need for strengthening of concrete structure. Approach: This research focuses on behaviors under static loading … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Sintering Temperature Effect on the Shrinkage Behavior of Cobalt Chromium AlloyM. Ghazali Kamardan, N. Hidayah A. Zaidi, M. Noh Dalimin et al.Problem Statement: Co-Cr based alloys which is well known for its high Young’s modulus, fatigue strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance is an important metallic bio-material. However, till date there are only two type of Co-Cr alloy which are the castable and wrought cobalt alloy. Powder Metallurgy route for cobalt is expected to give better result of Co-Cr alloy. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Assessment of Buckling Strength for Compressed Cylindrical Shells with Interacting Localized Geometric ImperfectionsJalal El Bahaoui, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Larbi El Bakkali, Ali LimamProblem statement: Elastic cylindrical shells are common structures in the fields of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. These thin-walled constructions may undergo buckling when subjected to axial compression. Buckling limits to large extent their strength performance. This phenomenon depends hugely on the initial distributed or localized geometric imperfections that are present on the shell structure. Localized geometric imperfections result in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Two Interacting Localized Defects on the Critical Load for Thin Cylindrical Shells Under Axial CompressionAbdellatif Khamlichi, Jalal El Bahaoui, Larbi El Bakkali et al.Problem statement: Many modern structures are made from thin shells. Design of these elements depends to a large extent on their buckling behavior which is hugely affected by the initial geometric imperfections. Approach: For axially compressed isotropic circular cylindrical shells, axisymmetric localized geometric imperfections were found to reduce severely the buckling strength. Among various axisymmetric shapes of localized defects that … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConfined High Strength Concrete Columns: An Experimental StudyJagannathan Saravanan, K. Suguna, P. N. RaghunathProblem statement: An experimental study on GFRP confined high strength concrete columns has been carried out with a view to evaluate its performances under uni-axial compression in terms of load and deformation capacity. Approach: High strength concrete columns strengthened with different configuration and stiffness of GFRP wraps were tested under axial compression until failure. Their response evaluated at different load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Comparison between Unconfined and Confined Condition of Foamed Concrete Under Uni-Axial Compressive LoadMohd Zairul Affindy Abdul Rahman, Ahmad Mujahid Ahmad Zaidi, Ismail Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Foamed concrete has become most commercial material in construction industry. People in industries were come out with the new mix design of foamed concrete to meet the specification and the requirements needed. Approach: This is because foamed concrete has the possibility as alternative of lightweight concrete for producing intermediate strength capabilities with excellent thermal insulation, freeze-thaw resistance, high-impact … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,637 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Corrosion Damage on the Ductility Performance of Concrete ColumnsJ. Revathy, K. Suguna, Juan Eduardo Suarez RivadeneiraProblem statement: An experimental investigation was carried out on reinforced concrete columns with corroding reinforcement to assess the residual strength and ductility performance of columns. Approach: An accelerated corrosion regime of different degrees of corrosion damage of 10 and 25% were induced in the steel reinforcement of concrete columns. The columns were then tested under uni-axial compression until failure. Results: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 accessesView PDFCite
