Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to propose a method to give a more accurate prediction of time-dependent prestress force changes due to creep and shrinkage of concrete in prestressed concrete (PSC) structures. Updating ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method of statistical analysis and a sensitivity analysis of the effects of creep and shrinkage in prestressed concrete (PSC) box girder bridges. Three possible sources of the uncertainties of the ...

Abstract: The derivation in our paper is for liquid (water) flow in a microtube, with a slip at the wall. For this problem, in the paper by El-Genk and Yang, a stationary microlayer, δ, whose thickness ...

Abstract: The friction numbers for laminar flows of water in microtubes, determined from the temperature rise due to the viscous dissipation heating assuming a velocity slip, show a strong dependence on ...
