Abstract: The mixed additive and multiplicative random error model is a combination of the additive error random model and multiplicative random error model. Weakness is an attribute of the mixed additive and multiplicative random ...

Abstract: Carbonation of concrete under various humidity conditions was examined in this study. Cylindrical specimens were subjected to accelerated carbonation using 50% carbon dioxide by volume at 25°C. Two relative humidities (RHs) ...

Abstract: The operating speed of a high-speed cam system can be maximized by the proper choice of both kinematic and dynamic parameters of a lumped model. Considering rocker arm ratio as an unconstrained ...

Abstract: Heavy glulam timber framed structures are facing a growing inadequacy in resisting lateral actions from earthquakes and winds due to the increasing building heights. This paper presents the experimental and numerical ...

Abstract: Fire hazards are generally considered to be one of the major disasters that cause damage to grid structures, and when exposed to fire, their mechanical properties will directly affect whether the structure is safe. In this ...

Abstract: As urbanization has accelerated, the coverage area of water distribution networks (WDNs) has been significantly increasing, making the management of large WDNs more difficult. To manage WDNs more accurately, water utilities ...

Abstract: This study mixed ground granulated blast-furnace slag (S) and circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash (CA) without any portland cement or alkaline activator to produce an eco-binder, abbreviated as

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on the mechanical behavior of concrete columns strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and subjected to concentric and eccentric compression loading. A numerical analysis ...
