DAMAGE AND PLASTICITY CONSTANTS OF CONVENTIONAL AND HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE PART II: STATISTICAL EQUATION DEVELOPMENT USING GENETIC PROGRAMMING

Several researchers have proved that the constitutive models of concrete based on combination of continuum damage and plasticity theories are able to reproduce the major aspects of concrete behavior. A problem of such damage-plasticity models is associated with the material constants which are needed to be determined before using the model. These constants are in fact the connectors of constitu...

Simple Equations for Predicting Entropy of Ammonia-Water Mixture

This work presents a set of three simple and explicit equations as a function of temperature, pressure, and mass fraction for calculation of the entropy of the ammonia-water mixture in saturated and super heated conditions. They are intended for use in the optimization and second law efficiency of absorption processes. The equations are constructed by the least square method for curve fitting u...

Thermodynamics of Ion Association in the Saturated Solution of The Mixed Solvent (methanol+water) and Ion Pairing at 25.0°C

In this study, the ion association phenomenon in the saturated solution of KCl in the mixed solvent(methanol+water) was studied. The solubility of this compound in the mixed solvent (methanol+water by value percent of methanol = 60%), and in the presence of various molarities of NaNO3 wasdetermined by the solvent evaporation method at 25.0°C. The results enable us to estimate the valueof thermo...

Development of a computer model for long-throated flumes based on manning equation and different side slopes of trapezoidal channels

ABSTRACT- Measurement of irrigation water in agricultural areas is necessary, especially, in arid and semi-arid regions. Long-throated flumes have been used to measure irrigation water and are known to be inexpensive devices with high performances. In these structures, head-discharge tables are predicted theoretically with no need to calibrate. In this study, the model of LOTF ...
