Abstract: The behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened reinforced concrete beams subjected to torsional loads has not been well understood compared to other loads. Interaction of different components of concrete, ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of hybrid timber–steel encased beams comprising coniferous radiata pine (Pinus radiata) (MGP10) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) (F8) timber lamellae with bonded-in steel bars is studied. The ...

Abstract: The aim of the current paper is to investigate the evolution of the flow in the vaneless diffuser of a scaledup turbocharger compressor using the steadystate viscous calculations. First, the predicted flow patterns are ...

Abstract: Equal‐leg angle cruciform members are known to be prone to torsional buckling. The primary parameters controlling torsional buckling mode are the width/thickness ratio of the outstanding legs, and the degree of warping ...

Abstract: Results of experimental investigations of the effects of distortion caused by coil inserts on a turbulent jet are presented. The coils have different wire diameters with constant pitch spacing. ...

Abstract: The failure of unreinforced masonry structures subjected to lateral loads is dominated, to a large extent, by the fracture of mortar joints as well as the cracking and crushing of masonry units. This can be simulated by ...

Abstract: Optimal crop planning and the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources are imperative for the sustainable management of water resources, especially in semiarid regions. In recent years, considerable ...
