Abstract: Modern techniques of severe plastic deformation (SPD) used as a means for grain refinement in metallic materials rely on simple shear as the main deformation mode. Prediction of the mechanical properties of the processed ...

Abstract: The usage of iron tailings as construction aggregates is a potential route to save the cost of standard sands and protect the environment of mining area. This study mainly investigates the performance of cement mortars by ...

Abstract: Urban flood risks are often determined by the frequency analysis of observed rainfall data, communicated using isohyetal maps showing rainfall totals for a range of durations and recurrence intervals. However, to assess ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the flexural behavior of engineered cementitious composite (ECC)–concrete hybrid composite beams reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and steel bars. Thirty-two hybrid reinforced ...
