Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF USING STEEL SLAG AGGREGATE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETESultan A. Tarawneh, Emhaidy S. Gharaibeh, Falah M. SarairehThis study presents an evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties and characteristics of steel slag aggregate concrete in comparison with the typical crushed limestone stone aggregate concrete. Hardened concrete consist of more than 70% aggregate due to the high demand in building construction and the increase of the amount of disposed waste material, suppliers and researchers are exploring the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 10 Feb 2014 · 8,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Alloy 2024 Reinforced with Silicon Carbide and Fly Ash Hybrid Metal Matrix CompositesM. Mahendra Boopathi, K.P. Arulshri, N. IyanduraiMaterials are frequently chosen for structural applications because they have desirable combinations of mechanical characteristics. Development of hybrid metal matrix composites has become an important area of research interest in Materials Science. In view of this, the present study focuses on the formation of aluminium-Sic-fly ash hybrid metal matrix composites. The present study was aimed at evaluating the physical properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 Mar 2013 · 28,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical and Functional Profile of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients: A One Year Follow UpMarco Orsini, Marcos R.G. de Freitas, Osvaldo J.M. Nascimento et al.Problem statement: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and degenerative disease that affects the anterior horn motor neurons of the spinal cord and pyramidal tracts. In Brazil, there are few epidemiological data on this disease. Recently, some important findings have been reported, allowing a better understanding on the underlying processes of neuronal death, as well as the characteristics of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Oct 2011 · 7,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship of Specific Training Means and Effort Parameters in Performance Weightlifters' TrainingPotop Vladimir, M. V. UlareanuProblem statement: The researchers introduce the contents of specific training means and the reps number during the training micro-cycles along preparatory and competitive period of the performance weightlifters. Approach: This approach has lead to the organization of a study in Olympic team of weightlifting. The scientific argument is the introduction of the content of the means specific to the performance … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndividualization Training of Players on Positions at the Level of Handball Junior TeamsPitigoi GabrielProblem statement: Starting from the observation that for the handball players, who finished the junior state in hard to integrate in senior teams due to a low level of preparation. I hypothesized that at this level we can use all organizational forms of individual training (frontal relation, group level, individual).Using individual records, performance behavior characteristics of the players to positions, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2011 · 7,230 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 abstractWave Characteristics in Sabah WatersEjria Saleh, Jessie Beliku, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: This study was conducted to identify and compare the wave characteristics in Sabah waters at five different key locations so as to determine the effects of the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) and the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) along the east and west coasts of Sabah. Approach: Monthly wave height and wave period data for 8 years covering offshore areas of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,745 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 abstractRate Effect on Pullout Behavior of Steel Fibers Embedded in Very-High Strength ConcreteTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Brian ZornigProblem statement: Rate dependence of the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) composites has received little or no attention so far. Approach: In this research, the bond-slip mechanisms of four types of steel fibers embedded in VHSC matrices were investigated through single-fiber pullout tests with the loading rates and matrix strengths are the primary variables. This study presented the experimental results of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPullout Characterizations of Various Steel Fibers Embedded in Very High-Strength ConcreteSameer Hamoush, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Toney Cummins, Brian ZornigProblem statement: There is a real need for a fundamental understanding of bond and bond mechanisms in the newly developed Very-High-Strength-Concrete (VHSC) materials. The interfacial steel fiber/VHSC matrix bond tests are needed to characterize VHSC and to aid in the development of analytical models that describe bond behavior of this new material. Approach: This research investigated bond-slip characteristics of four … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
