Abstract: This paper focuses on axially loaded, large-scale rectangular RC columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping. Experimental tests are conducted to obtain the stress-strain response and ultimate load for ...

Abstract: This work experimentally studied a rotating, bladeshaped, twopass cooling channel with various 45deg rib turbulators and a tipturning vane. The first passage of the cooling channel has an aspect ratio (AR) = 4:1 with the ...

Abstract: An experimental study was completed to quantify heat transfer enhancement, pressure loss, and crossflow effect within a channel of inline impinging jets. The jet diameter is 5.08 mm; the jettojet spacings in the streamwise ...

Abstract: Friction loss and heat transfer enhancement measurements were obtained for double-sided, partial height, strip fin arrays in a high aspect ratio (AR = 8), rectangular channel. Fins were arranged in a staggered array ...

Abstract: In gas turbine combustors, optimum arrangement between a fuel nozzle and a swirler/prefilmer module must be sought to achieve satisfactory ignition and stability characteristics in addition to ...

Abstract: Over the last few decades, reliability-based design methods have been widely implemented into the foundation design practice. However, several design codes for transmission tower foundations are still based on the allowable ...

Abstract: An innovative semianalytical solution was introduced to accurately assess the uplift bearing capacity of spread foundations in sand, which is important for the design of transmission towers. The research addresses the ...

Abstract: An internationally-coordinated plan to consolidate and enhance the Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS) to better address scientific priorities and meet future societal needs for climate information and prediction.The ...
