RISDesign Criteria for Box Columns Under Biaxial Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several design criteria for isolated, simply supported welded rectangular box‐column subjected to compression and combined with biaxial bending are examined. The load carrying capacity of the columns is presented in terms ...
Muscle Activation and Contraction: Constitutive Relations Based Directly on Cross-Bridge Kinetics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reviews recent work aimed at deriving tractable constitutive relations for skeletal muscle from biophysical cross-bridge theories. Discussion is focused on a model proposed previously ...
Flexural Durability of Seawater Coral Aggregate Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt FRP Bars
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in coral aggregate concrete (CAC) structures is a new solution to the shortage of construction materials on islands and reefs far from the mainland and to the ...
Textile-Reinforced Mortar Strengthening of Masonry Piers Containing Industrial Waste Coal Gangue Sintered Bricks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The diffusion and adoption of coal gangue sintered bricks can effectively relieve the negative impact of coal gangue on the ecological environment. In China, this type of brick has been widely used for the construction of ...
Bonding of TRM and Salt Erosion–Degraded Masonry: Experimental Characterization and Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the interfacial bonding between textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) and erosion-deteriorated masonry using single shear testing and digital image correlation. Various factors, including the number of ...
Research on Mechanical Properties of Axial-Compressive Concrete Columns Strengthened with TRC under a Conventional and Chloride Wet-Dry Cycle Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is currently being used as an effective inorganic reinforcement material due to its high bearing capacity, anticracking capacity, and corrosion resistance. However, the compressive performance ...
Validation of Satellite-Derived Daily Latent Heat Flux over the South China Sea, Compared with Observations and Five Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study describes the development of the South China Sea (SCS) daily satellite-derived latent heat flux (SCSSLH) for the period of 1998?2011 at 0.25° ? 0.25° resolution using data mainly from the Tropical Rain Measuring ...
Experimental Investigations of the Bending Fatigue Performance of TRC-Strengthened RC Beams in Conventional and Aggressive Chlorate Environments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To study the fatigue performance of a reinforced-concrete (RC) beam strengthened with textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), a four-point bending fatigue test was conducted, in which the strengthening forms, reinforcement ...
Method for Measurement of Canopy Interception under Sprinkler Irrigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure called water wiping is developed to measure the amount of water intercepted by the canopy of winter wheat under sprinkler irrigation. Macromolecule bibulous materials with high water absorption is used to collect ...
