Abstract: This technical note presents results of an experimental program carried out to analyze the influence of protective coatings on the bar-concrete bond. The value of the bar-friction coefficient is obtained by testing a ...

Abstract: A comprehensive hydraulic modeling effort that was applied to two rural watersheds in southern Virginia is presented in this paper. The 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year storms and the probable maximum flood (PMF), are considered ...

Abstract: An exploratory study was carried out to support the development of standard test methods for fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) bars for use as concrete reinforcement. The principal objectives were to develop a simple, economical, ...

Abstract: Crofer can be considered as the reference interconnect material in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) working under 800°C. Thanks to its thermal expansion coefficient, it is suitable to replace ...

Abstract: The behavior of air cavities formed in the tip vortex trailing from rectangular and elliptical planform hydrofoils has been examined both theoretically and experimentally. These cavities have ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented to describe the collapse of an elongated bubble, which appears in the core of a cavitating vortex. The flow field is assumed to be irrotational, due to a ...

Abstract: Oysters are hypothesized to affect the shear strength of nearby surficial seafloor sediment as fragments of oyster shells (shell hash) are typically more angular relative to sand particles alone, among other differences. ...
