Abstract: A technique has been developed using the reversing dc electrical potential method to determine the mode of damage taking place during creep-fatigue interaction. It is observed that the hysteresis ...

Abstract: Most mathematical modeling efforts in water resources fall far short of adequately including social and environmental objectives. Although many modelers have good intentions at the start of their analyses, the objective ...

Abstract: The high strength of bamboo material cannot be fully utilized due to the failure of bamboo culm before reaching the ultimate strength values. This study focuses on the prevention of different failures caused due to shear, ...

Abstract: Sensitive clay subjected to cyclic loading may experience gradual loss of its shear strength, which may lead to a significant reduction in its bearing capacity, excessive settlement, and perhaps catastrophic failure. This ...

Abstract: Sensitive clay subjected to cyclic loading may experience gradual loss of its shear strength, which may lead to liquefaction. Foundations built on this clay would suffer extensive settlement and significant loss of bearing ...

Abstract: Alternative materials are becoming the substances of choice for designers over conventional materials due to cost and availability constraints. The sustainability and maintenance of the supply of conventional construction ...

Abstract: An output specification is an integral part of the contract documentation for procuring and monitoring public private partnership (PPP) or private finance initiative (PFI) projects throughout their life cycles. Unlike ...

Abstract: AbstractBamboo has an excellent mechanical performance, which, coupled with its sustainability, makes it an alternative to conventional building material. This work analyzes and compares the mechanical properties of five ...
