Abstract: There is increasing interest in developing relatively quick test procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of composite coatings to reduce the infiltration of water and salt solutions into concrete structures to rapidly ...

Abstract: The problems of shear loading of a crack having a wedge-shaped planform and of a planar, wedge-shaped inclusion are considered. A Green’s function formulation is used and the problem of finding ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the singularity at the apex of a rigid wedge bonded to an elastic half space is formulated by considerations of Green’s functions for the loaded half space. The ...

Abstract: Seismic site classifications are used to represent site effects for estimating hazard parameters (response spectral ordinates) at the soil surface. Seismic site classifications have generally been carried out using average ...

Abstract: Flow past a square cylinder at a Reynolds number of 21,400 has been studied numerically using the large-eddy simulation technique. A dynamic subgrid-scale stress model has been used for the small scales of turbulence. The ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study presents a multiscale approach to assess the effectiveness of a 24-h low-concentration acid treatment (≤0.5 mol/L) for removing adhered mortar from recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). The investigation includes ...

Abstract: A hybrid technique was used for the runoff production and its routing in an agro-forested watershed located within the Kanha National Park in Central India with the use of remote sensing and geographic information system ...

Abstract: Anaerobic digestion (AD) of synthetic and real dairy wastewater was the focus of the study for parametric estimation of kinetic models with examining biochemical methane potential (BMP), treatment efficiency, and energy ...
