Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrediction of Residual Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns Subjected to Extreme Dynamic LoadsMasoud Abedini, Azrul A. Mutalib, Sudharshan N. Raman et al.The evaluation of residual axial load carrying capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns to explosion load is significant for protection of buildings. The few investigations conducted on residual axial load carrying capacity of RC columns when subjected to blast loads. Therefore, the overall aim of this research is to generate equations on the blast capacity of axially and uniaxial loaded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDynamic Response of Loads on Viscously Damped Axial Force Rayleigh BeamI. A. Adetunde, Baba SeiduThis research examines the effects of moving loads on viscously damped axial force Rayleigh beam. The authors especially tried to find the effect of the moving mass and moving force in connection with the length of the span of a Rayleigh beam. The authors also examined the effect of the lengths of the beam and of the load. It was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2012 · 6,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Rate-Dependent Interaction Diagrams for Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Wonchang Choi, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: There is a need to better understand the rate dependence behavior of reinforced concrete structures in order to improve their response to impact and blast loads. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic loadings has been recommended in many FEMA guidelines. However, reevaluation of design becomes extremely important in cases where large deformations are expected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect 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 abstractEffects of Playing Surface and Shoe Type on ACL Tears in Soccer PlayersMelissa M. Mansfield, Ronald B. BucinellToday, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most prevalent knee injuries, with the occurrence of ACL tears increasing drastically from approximately 80 000 in 2000 to 150 000 in 2011. Although there are many factors that contribute to an ACL tear occurring, certain environmental factors could contribute to the dramatic increase over the past couple decades, especially … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2016 · 12,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraction Enhancing Products Affect Maximum Torque at the Shoe-Floor Interface: A Potential Increased Risk of ACL InjuryMorse, A., M.M. Mansfield et al.The knee is one of the most frequently injured joints in the body, between 100 000 and 400 000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries occur in the United States each year. This investigation explores the impact of wipe- or spray-on sneaker products used to increase traction between shoes and hardwood courts on the loading of the ACL. Specifically, the maximum … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Sep 2016 · 8,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation on the Behavior of Rigid Polyvinylchloride Pipes Subjected to Uniaxial Compression LoadsAbdullah Ali Nasser Alhamati, Abdul Halim Ghazali, Jamalodin Norzaie et al.The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads was experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,696 accessesView PDFCite
