Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer LaminatesA. Leema Rose, K. Suguna, P. N. RagunathProblem statement: This study showed the results of an experimental investigation on the strengthening of corrosion damaged reinforced concrete beams with unidirectional cloth glass fiber reinforced polymer (UDCGFRP) laminates. Approach: All the beam specimens 150×250×3000 mm were cast and tested for the present investigation. One beam specimen was neither corroded nor strengthened to serve as a reference. Two beams were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Critical Review of Climate Change Induced Psychosocial Impacts and Options for Strengthening Social Support SystemsParnali Dhar Chowdhury, C. Emdad Haque, Graham SmithProblem statement: Climate change and its associated manifestations have only recently emerged as significant threats to health faced by Canadians. The emergence of these threats has meant that Canadians are faced with increasing health-related concerns that are more frequent, more severe and occurring in communities where they have not been previously experienced. The compounding effects of change in weather patterns … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 26 Aug 2011 · 7,425 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 titleStrengthening Image Security with Unimodular Hill Cipher and Advanced Encryption StandardSamsul Arifin, Dwi Wijonarko, Monica Mayeni Manurung et al.Digital data security has become increasingly important with the growth of digital image usage, which often contains sensitive information. This study aims to enhance the security of digital images by combining Unimodular Hill Cipher (UHC) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) methods. UHC, a matrix-based symmetric encryption algorithm, is used for image matrix encryption, while AES provides an additional layer of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 5 · 22 Apr 2025 · 5,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening the Integrity of Forwarding First Communication Using Forward Key Chain and Bloom Filter in the Wireless Sensor NetworksMuhammad Taqqyyudin Ilham Ramadhan, Farah Afianti, Bambang Ari Wahyudi et al.Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are collections of sensor nodes that can help people monitor things wirelessly, replacing the need for human presence in hard-to-reach areas. While forwarding first communication reduces communication delays among the sensor nodes, it lacks a security mechanism. Since sensor nodes have limited resources, using complex security measures can shorten their lifetime. This study proposes a protocol … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 14 Feb 2023 · 5,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Added Value of Various Rendang Products in Strengthening Regional Innovation System in the City of Payakumbuh, West SumateraAmna Suresti, Rahmi Wati, Uyung Gatot, Alizar HasanThis research aims to determine the regional core competencies to strengthen the city of Payahkumbuh’s Regional Innovation System by developing processed livestock products such as Rendang, a traditional dish popular in the Province of West Sumatra. 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 titleStrengthening of Laminated Glass Windows against Windborne Debris ImpactXihong Zhang, Qingfei Meng, Chiara Bedon, Piotr W. SielickiThis paper presents numerical modelling to study potential mitigation methods to improve the impact resistance performance of laminated glass windows against timber windborne debris impact. A detailed numerical model of laminated glass window is generated and validated with laboratory impact tests. The influence of supporting frames made of different stiffness materials is examined. Numerical simulation shows that boundary condition has … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2020 · 6,883 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
