Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExamination of Laminated Glass with Stiff Interlayers – Numerical and Experimental ResearchJulian Hänig, Paulina Bukieda, Michael Engelmann et al.Glass is a linear-elastic and isotropic building material which allows for a quick calculation of internal forces and stress in the design stage. However, in safety applications, e.g. overhead glazing or balustrades, it is made into laminated glass using plastic interlayers. Their material properties change over time and are temperature-dependent. Additionally, larger spans and the demand to reduce the amount … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2019 · 13,559 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong Term Ageing Effect on Physical and Shear Strength Characteristics of Oil Contaminated Sandy Soils of Al-Ahmadi Field in KuwaitHumoud Melfi Aldaihani, Fahad A. Al-OtaibiSerious environmental damage was caused to Kuwait when more than 600 oil wells were set alight following the 1991 Gulf War, leading to hydrocarbon contamination and a series of ‘oil lakes’ being created in the desert. The effects of these highly damaging actions are still detectable today, 27 years later. The main contribution of this paper is that the effects … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2019 · 8,060 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROTOCOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FIELD-RESPONSIVE BITUMINOUS BINDERSEzio Santagata, Orazio Baglieri, Lucia Tsantilis, Arianna VercelliMagneto-rheological fluids are materials that exhibit a significant change in their rheological properties in the presence of a magnetic field. Because of such a field-dependent behavior, they can act as smart materials in applications in which changeable performances are desired. In road pavement engineering, the use of bitumen-based magneto-rheological fluids may open innovative scenarios related to the construction of smart … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 20 Jan 2014 · 6,654 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simplified Analytical Modeling of the Hole Erosion TestMohammed Bezzazi, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Miguel Prron Vera et al.Problem statement: Internal erosion occurs in soils containing fine particles under the action of high pressure gradients that could result from water discharge. This phenomenon can yield in its final stage to the formation of piping which constitutes a real threat for hydraulics infrastructures as it can precipitate their entire rupture in very short time. In order to mitigate this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2010 · 8,025 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoundary Shear Stress around Bridge PiersMirali MohammadiThis research presents the measurement of boundary shear stress around the base of some elliptical shaped bridge piers using Preston tube technique. The uniform flow was established and a series of measurements having different discharges and channel bed slopes were undertaken. General results are established and then the effects of flow separation on the hydraulic theory are assessed. The Analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,707 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDF Cite
