Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSmall-Scale Test of Transparent Adhesives in Glass Structures under Shear Stress and Their Ageing ResistanceMarkéta Zikmundová, Martina EliášováGlass load-bearing structures, which have been popular in recent years, require careful attention to detail, because with improper design there is a concentration of stress leading to failure and subsequent collapse of the structure. Mechanical connections are mainly used but there are disadvantages such as stress peaks, weakening of the cross-section, or aesthetic reasons. Adhesive connections eliminate these disadvantages. The … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2022 · 6,561 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBamboo Lightweight Shear Walls: Modeling and Identification of Sheathing-to-Framing Connections for Seismic Response AnalysisGiorgia Di Gangi, Cristoforo Demartino, Giuseppe QuarantaThe need for enhancing the sustainability of civil constructions has originated an increasing interest in the use of engineered bamboo-based products within the building sector. Nonetheless, while the static response of bamboo-made structures has been largely investigated, experimental and numerical researches concerning the response under dynamic loads are limited. Therefore, the present work deals with the assessment of the seismic … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2020 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLong 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Bitumen Addition on Sabkha Soil Shear Strength Characteristics under Dry and Soaked ConditionsFahad A. Alotaibi, Humoud Melfi AldaihaniHigh salt content in sabkha soils means they are significantly affected by changes in water content. Dissolution of salts within sabkha soil mass decreases their shear strength upon inundation with water, resulting from the destruction of cementation bonds between soil particles. Therefore, successful improvement for these soils must be based on reducing the dissolution of sabkha salts to minimize their … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2018 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Behavior of Steel Composite Shear Wall with Corrugated Plate under Lateral LoadSeyedeh Asma MirfazliJirdehiThe steel shear wall system has been considered as a structural system over the past few decades. This issue deals with wind and earthquake lateral forces due to its hardness, loading capacity and plasticity. This type of the system, with the use of external hardness resulting from the geometric shape of the waves, has better buckling strength than a hardened … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2018 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn-Plane Behavior of Infills using Glass Fiber Shear Connectors in Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) TechniqueFarhad Akhoundi, Graça Vasconcelos, Paulo LourençoMasonry has a widespread use in the construction of the buildings even in reinforced concrete or steel frames. Past earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of masonry infills resulted in the human life losses and economic costs. Recently innovative strengthening techniques such as Textile Reinforced Mortar technique (TRM) is used for enhancing the seismic response of the infills. Different procedures were … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2018 · 9,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review of the Fatigue Strength of Load Carrying Shear Welded JointsFilippo Berto, Abedin Gagani, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. PetrescuIn the study it is shown an overview of the latest results of two types of joints of the load carrying welded shear. Tests of fatigue have been carried out on the two solutions specific design features proposed and with the aim of improving the resistance of the joints under cycling loading. By hiring the 3D models, was determined Strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
