Abstract: A combined experimental∕analytical work is carried out to elucidate the energy absorption potential of laterally confined bars under monotonically increasing edge displacement. The thickness t and ...

Abstract: The large-deflection plate solution developed in Part I is used here to study the buckling and post-buckling deformation and stress characteristics of an elliptically-shaped surface layer that ...

Abstract: A polynomial series expansion for displacements is used in conjunction with the Rayleigh-Ritz energy method to produce buckling and post-buckling stress solutions for an elliptically-shaped surface ...

Abstract: Wire sweep has been recognized as one of the major defects in encapsulation of electronic components by transfer molding. The phenomenon is very complicated as it is sensitive to a large ...

Abstract: This paper provides background on the use of lightweight aggregate concrete in long-span bridges. Observed time-dependent deflection of long-span lightweight aggregate concrete box-girder bridges is highlighted. The paper ...

Abstract: Wire sweep has been recognized as a critical process defect which can result in device failure. The phenomenon is very complicated as it is sensitive to a large number of parameters. In this ...

Abstract: This research studies the potential of using bottom ash from the Mae Moh power plant in Thailand as a pozzolanic material. Bottom ash, which was rarely used in concrete due to its inactive pozzolanic reaction, improved its ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new cementitious material from a mixture of calcium carbide residue and rice husk ash. Calcium carbide residue and rice husk ash consist mainly of

Abstract: An analytical model, based on the commonly used equivalent cantilever concept, is developed for assessing the local ductility demand of a yielding pile-shaft when subjected to lateral loading. For elastic response of the ...

Abstract: This paper provides background on the use of lightweight aggregate concrete in long-span bridges. Observed time-dependent deflection of long-span lightweight aggregate concrete box-girder bridges is highlighted. The paper ...
