Fluid Dynamics of the Elliptic Porous Slider
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fluid cushioned porous sliders are useful in reducing the frictional resistance of moving objects. This paper studies the elliptic slider. After a transformation of variables, the Navier-Stokes ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigations on Short-Term Behavior of Glubam-Concrete Composite Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper describes the results of short-term bending tests on glued laminated bamboo (glubam) and concrete composite (BCC) beams. Four types of connection details were designed and tested: continuous steel mesh (SM), ...
Axial Impact Behavior of FRP-Confined Concrete Stub Columns with Square and Circular Cross Section
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping has been shown to be very effective in enhancing the static loading capacity of reinforced concrete columns. However, the impact performance of FRP-confined square concrete columns ...
Assessment of Repairs and Strengthening of a Historic Masonry Pagoda Using a Vibration-Based-Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The East Pagoda of Yongzuo Monastery (Twin Pagodas Monastery), built in Taiyuan city during the Chinese Wanli Period (1573–1619 AC) of the Ming Dynasty, has suffered serious movement and damage. A series of maintenance and ...
Mechanical Performance of Toothed Metal-Plate Connected Glubam Joints
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Toothed metal-plate connector (MPC) is a cost-effective connection method, easy to install with high assembly efficiency for manufacturing engineered timber trusses. In this study, In order to combine the advantages of the ...
