The main objective of this research was to study the impact of zeolite on mineralogical changes led to the development of compressive strength of cemented-sand mixtures. The mixtures consisted of Portland cement type II, ...

This paper aims at investigating the seismic behavior of strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls using a 3D finite element analysis. A series of four different configurations of carbon fiber reinforced polymer ...

The fiber-reinforced inorganic matrix (FRIM) composite is a new type of composite, which has many economical and performance advantages. Beside the direct shear and bending tests, the tensile tests form an integral part ...

This study is focused on the propagation of plane harmonic body waves in a transversely isotropic linear poroelastic fluid-saturated medium, where the material symmetry axes for both solid and fluid are coincide. Simplified ...

This article presents information on the average speed enforcement system technology used in a university campus on sections with speed limits of 20, 30 and 50 km/h which is determined to be effective for decreasing the ...

One of the most imperfections of the steel shear wall is out of plane displacements that cause severe damage in both structural and non-structural elements. In this paper, the effects of shape-memory alloys on steel shear ...

Currently, there is a clear need for reliable procedures for condition assessment and service-life evaluation of existing infrastructures. Advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element (3D NLFE) analysis has proven to be capable ...

The paper presents a numerical analysis of hydrodynamic pressures on rigid structures caused by dynamic base excitation. First, the model for the fluid simulation, based on the numerical approach called the Smoothed Particle ...
