Abstract: The flow, sediment transport, and bathymetry at equilibrium conditions in loose-bed open channels are predicted using a fully three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes model that was validated for cases in ...

Abstract: The mechanical properties of human lung tissue were measured in a state of biaxial tension. The experimental data were fitted with a pseudo-elastic constitutive equation proposed earlier and the ...

Abstract: A novel technique to improve the effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement for strengthening rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns is to implement section curvilinearization (SC) before FRP wrapping. ...

Abstract: Existing studies have shown that fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing/wrapping is highly effective in strengthening circular concrete columns but is much less effective for rectangular/square concrete columns due to ...
