Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFlexural Behaviors of Damaged Full-Scale Highway Bridge Girder Strengthened by External Post TensionSayan Sirimontree, Jaruek TeerawongProblem statement: Prestressed Concrete (PC) I section girder with Reinforced Concrete (RC) topping slab has been widely applied to long span bridge girders for several years. A bridge girder is subjected to severe conditions caused by an aggressive environment and overloading. A crack can be initiated and propagate when the tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete due to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAcrylic Rubber Latex in Ferrocement for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete BeamsD. Raj Kumar, B. VidivelliProblem statement: In India, the early deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has become a big social problem in recent years. An essential research is needed for the development of effective repair materials and their execution systems comes to an important issue from the viewpoint of the longevity of infrastructures at present. Ferrocement laminates are introduced to enhance the overall performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,849 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing a Truss-Inspired Model with the Uniform Strength Optimization Theory to Predict Spongy Bone Geometry in Proximal FemurHamed Pishdast, Farzam Farahmand, Gholamreza RouhiThis paper presents a new naïve approach for simulating bone remodeling process. It is based on the uniform strength theory of optimization and employs a truss-like model for bone. The truss was subjected to external loads including 5 point loads simulating the hip joint contact forces and 3 muscular forces at the attachment sites of the muscles to the bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessEvery word in the titleSmall Hard Body Impact on Annealed, Heat Strengthened and Fully Tempered Laminated GlassFred Veer, Ton Romein, Pim BuskermolenNeglecting the accidental soccer or golf ball hitting the window of the neighbors in a movie, actual impact on glass is rare. In architecture, the only significant case in the literature is where a fully tempered laminated panel of the New York Apple cube was hit by a small stone launched by a snow blower. Nowadays a lot of glass … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 13 Jul 2022 · 10,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling 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
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Based Modeling for Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced HSC Beams Strengthened with External Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer LaminatesV. Balasubramaniam, P. N. Raghunath, K. SugunaProblem statement: This study presents the results of ANFIS based model proposed for predicting the performance characteristics of reinforced HSC beams subjected to different levels of corrosion damage and strengthened with externally bonded glass fibre reinforced polymer laminates. Approach: A total of 21 beams specimens of size 150, 250×3000 mm were cast and tested. Results: Out of the 21 specimens, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 17 Mar 2012 · 7,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element and Experimental Serviceability Analysis of HSC Beams Strengthened with FRP SheetsSeyed Hamid Hashemi, Reza Rahgozar, Ali Akbar MaghsoudiThe use of externally bonded composite sheets or laminates is by now a diffuse technique to strengthen existing RC structures. However, some aspects of flexural condition still need experimental and numerical analysis; furthermore, especially for serviceability checks, there is a lack of code provisions. Six reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams strengthened with FRP sheets were fabricated and tested, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite

Rendang is processed meat obtained from a long low-temperature cooking process using chilies and coconut milk. The city of Payakumbuh, located in West Sumatra, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2021 · 6,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical 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
