Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into the frangible joint behavior of tanks designed to API 650 rules. In such tanks, the roof-to-shell joint is intended to fail in the ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with a bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) plate may fail by intermediate crack (IC) debonding, in which debonding initiates at a critical section in the high moment ...

Abstract: The principal motivation of this study is to obtain a clear understanding of size effects for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear-strengthened beams. The experimental program consists of seven beams of various sizes grouped ...

Abstract: Runoff simulation and prediction in watersheds is an important and essential step in water management systems, safety yield computations, environmental disposal, design of flood control structures, and so on. In this study, ...

Abstract: The prediction of air quality parameters is of great interest in environmental studies today due to the health impact caused by airborne pollutants [e.g., sulfur dioxide
