Abstract: This study develops empirical models for the prediction of the bond strength of uncorroded and corroded reinforcement bars. The effects of hooked reinforcement on the bar’s development length when covered fully and partially ...

Abstract: Lateral prestressing of concrete columns was investigated as a method of seismic retrofit. Experimental research was conducted to develop a design procedure for shear deficient concrete columns. The technology consists of ...

Abstract: Side-weirs located on straight channels have attracted considerable interest and research effort. The same, however, is not true for side-weirs on curved channels. The existing studies deal mainly with sediment transport ...

Abstract: Submarine pipelines, one of the most important subjects in coastal engineering, are widely used in coastal structures. In order to ensure these pipelines are stable and functional during their project life, attention must ...

Abstract: This paper is an illustration of using a problem-centered approach in an undergraduate course in numerical methods. The problem used in the course was first encountered in a research project that related to the assembly ...

Abstract: Tests on beam‐to‐column connections have shown that the presence of a slab significantly increases the flexural resistance of the beam under bending, which causes tension in the slab. The analytical beam models should, ...
