Abstract: This paper critically assesses the applicability and reliability of existing analytical techniques to predict and/or prevent brittle plate debonding failure that occurs in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with ...

Abstract: Coaxial rotor uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) are compact compared to single rotor UAVs of comparable capacity. At the low Reynolds numbers (Re) where they operate, the simplifying assumptions from high Re rotor ...

Abstract: This paper presents a retrofitting method for older-design eccentrically braced frame. Numerical experimentation was carried out for the old designed eccentrically braced frame and the modified versions of that the frame. ...

Abstract: While many studies have been conducted to delineate the role of gender in rear impact via experiments, clinical investigations, modeling, and epidemiological research, the effect of the added head mass on segmental motions ...

Abstract: Two of the conventional methods to improve soft soil deposits are evaporative dewatering and accelerated consolidation of the deposits using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs). Evaporative dewatering is limited in ...

Abstract: Spine degeneration is a normal aging process. It may lead to stenotic spines that may have implications for pain and quality of life. The diagnosis is based on clinical symptomatology and imaging. Magnetic resonance images ...

Abstract: A methodology for determining the length of advancement of wetting front and potential groundwater recharge under variable depth of ponding is presented. The methodology provides no restrictions to infiltration time period, ...

Abstract: Water drops of 2 mm diameter were supercooled on a glass slide, sprayed with AgI particles, and photographed at low magnification with a 16-mm movie camera at a speed of 64 frames per second to determine the nature of ...
