Abstract: This study investigated the behavior of bolted shear connections for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete hybrid beams. Fourteen push-out tests were conducted with varying parameters of bolt strength, bolt diameter ...

Abstract: An experimental program that investigated the seismic performance of concrete-filled square steel tube with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–confined concrete core (FCCC) column (SCFC) was conducted. Fourteen SCFC specimens ...

Abstract: Serpentine interconnects, as an integral part of island-bridge layouts, enable extremely large reversible deformation under the action of mechanical loads and are thus widely used in the emerging new field of stretchable ...

Abstract: Inorganic (minerogenic) particles received from streams during runoff events cause undesirable increases in turbidity (

Abstract: High loads of inorganic particles received following runoff events from terrigenous sources can cause elevated turbidity (

Abstract: The seismic performance of slotted reinforced concrete walls strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) was investigated. This reinforcement method aims to increase the ultimate deformation capacity and avoid compressive ...

Abstract: Inorganic stretchable electronics based on the island-bridge layout have attracted great attention in recent years due to their excellent electrical performance under the extreme condition of large deformations. During the ...

Abstract: Characterization of the particle population for a location in a water supply reservoir, Kensico Reservoir, N.Y., is documented for a high turbidity event, from its onset, through alum treatment and its waning. Supporting ...

Abstract: Terrigenous inorganic particles delivered during runoff events cause problems of high turbidity in many lakes and reservoirs. A turbidity model, composed of a two-dimensional hydrothermal/transport submodel and a turbidity ...

Abstract: Estimation of water fluxes, such as groundwater recharge and loss, is vital for water resources assessment and planning. In this study, lysimeter measurements at the Wudaogou Hydrological Experiment Station in the Huaihe ...
