Abstract: The structural behavior of the anchorage zone is a key issue in prestressed ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) box-girder bridges. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of a diaphragm–blister integrated ...

Abstract: Reservoir-pipe-valve (RPV) systems are widely used in many industrial processes. The pressure in an RPV system plays an important role in the safe operation of the system, especially during the sudden operations such as ...

Abstract: Air-side heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of four different fin patterns suitable for flat tube bank fin heat exchangers are investigated experimentally. The fin patterns are the fin with six dimples, the ...

Abstract: The flexural and durability performance of reinforced ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beam structures is expected to improve if the steel bars are replaced with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer ...

Abstract: In this study, three impellers with different blade pressure side (PS) profiles are designed and the influence on the hydraulic and dynamic performance of a low specific speed centrifugal pump is investigated by numerical ...

Abstract: A total of 65 Z-shaped ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) specimens with monolithic interfaces, flat-wet-joint interfaces (roughened with a high-pressure water jet), and keyed-wet-joint interfaces were tested under the ...
