Abstract: Supercritical helium owing to its singlephase characteristics and enhanced heat transfer near the pseudocritical region is envisaged as a potential coolant for superconducting magnets used in particle accelerators and ...

Abstract: The analysis of dam failures allows considerations about their safety and can influence new design and inspection criteria. Historical data about dam failures are used to relate failure rate to age or decade of construction. ...

Abstract: The ductility performance of reinforced concrete (RC) members strengthened with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement using near-surface-mounted (NSM) technique has a tendency to decrease with the increase ...

Abstract: When the benefits of self-compacting concrete (SCC) are added to those resulting from the addition of discrete steel fibers to cement based materials, a high performance material, designated as steel fiber-reinforced ...

Abstract: High vertical wave-number modes clearly dominate the internal wave field during the stratification period in Boadella reservoir in northeast Spain. In this period, the extraction of hypolimnetic water, due to summer ...

Abstract: Because the provision of an adequate and reliable water supply system involves a very high level of investment, it is essential that the layout and design of such systems are very carefully planned and the operation of ...
