Abstract: A simple mathematical approach is presented for using a cavity well to determine aquifer constants like hydraulic conductivity

Abstract: This paper presents a new cyclic piecewise linear pull-out push-in shear-lag material model representing the local bond behavior of preconstruction-installed steel anchor bolts for concrete. Impact loading resulting from ...

Abstract: Damage detection in structurally reinforced concrete elements is a vital topic for structural health monitoring and for assessing the capacity of reinforced concrete members. In this regard, many destructive tests exist ...

Abstract: In this study, the flow and heat transfer of Powell–Eyring fluid over a permeable stretching surface is examined. By using Lie group analysis, the symmetries of the equations are found. Four finite parameter and one ...

Abstract: The improved strength and ductility of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete is a result of external confinement, which places an effective constraint on its lateral dilation. For a reliable confined concrete ...

Abstract: B2 and C2 stress indices are needed for evaluation of nuclear piping components. These indices are used in calculation of stress terms corresponding to moment loading. The formulas (B2=1.3/h2/3 ...

Abstract: B2 and C2 stress indices are used for calculation of stress terms corresponding to moment loading in evaluation of nuclear piping components. The formulas given in the ASME Boiler & Pressure ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) numerical experiments are performed to investigate the flow instabilities and mixing of different nonisothermal counterflowing jets in a passive-mixer. The fluid is modeled as a binary mixture with ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive behavior of circular and noncircular concrete columns confined by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). The main objective ...
