Abstract The performance of textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) under the action pseudo-static load up to collapse was evaluated. test TRCCPs axial and transverse loading conducted, results were compared with those for steel wire mesh reinforced-concrete (SMRCCPs). Ceram-site utilized as panel matrix owing its lightweight insulation characteristics. ultimate bearing capacity, ...

several relationships to assess at-rest pressure coefficient in retaining walls, have been developed by different researchers. these suggested relationships are generally a function of mechanical soil parameters such as internal friction angel, poison ratio and over-consolidation ratio. in integral bridges, however, this coefficient is also a function of many other parameters other than soil ch...

articular cartilage, the load-bearing tissue of the joint, has limited repair and regeneration ability. the scarcity of treatment modalities for large chondral defects has motivated researchers to engineer cartilage tissue constructs that can meet the functional demands of this tissue in vivo. cartilage tissue engineering requires 3 components: cells, scaffold, and environment. owning to their ...

The seismic performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) composite shear walls with different expandable polystyrene (EPS) configurations was investigated. Six concrete shear walls were designed and tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effect of fine RAC in designing earthquake-resistant structures. Three of the six specimens were used to construct mid-rise walls with a shear-span ra...

Quantification of the uncertainty in constitutive model predictions describing arterial wall mechanics is vital towards non-invasive assessment of vascular drug therapies. Therefore, we perform uncertainty quantification to determine uncertainty in mechanical characteristics describing the vessel wall response upon loading. Furthermore, a global variance-based sensitivity analysis is performed ...

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

Abstract The work concerns issues related to the diagnostics of moisture in historic buildings. Moisture content is one basic physical properties materials. Excessive and undesirable growth masonry causes considerable damage wall assemblies. It reduces load-bearing capacity structural elements, difficulties with heating contributes development mould fungi. article describes diagnostic procedure...

Under the dynamic conditions of pulsatile flow, the forces exerted by the fluid on the vessel wall create considerable displacements and stresses within the thickness of the vessel wall. We review a series of analytical options for exploring the dynamics of the vessel wall, specifically displacements and stresses within the depth of the vessel wall, under a range of conditions including the deg...

Variation in equine hoof conformation between farriery interventions lacks research, despite associations with distal limb injuries. This study aimed to determine linear and angular hoof variations pre- and post-farriery within a four to six week shoeing/trimming interval. Seventeen hoof and distal limb measurements were drawn from lateral and anterior digital photographs from 26 horses pre- an...

In this paper, five sets of multi-bolted joint shear tests are designed to study the effect bolt middle distance on bearing performance joints, and analyze failure modes specimens. The main conclusions as follows: For M10 bolts (grade 8.8) bamboo curtain plywood connections. When spacing increases 50mm, ultimate capacity nodes tends be stable; initial stiffness joint, has no obvious joint. Howe...
