A full-scale reinforced subgrade for railways (RSR) was constructed, and repetitive static load tests were performed to analyze the deformation characteristics of rigid walls with short reinforcements railway subgrades that require strict displacement restrictions. Load test results obtained four sections, in which reinforcement arrangement (vertical spacing length) wall-reinforcement connectio...

Abstract Magnesium-based composites are promising materials that can achieve higher strength, modulus, stiffness, and wear resistance by using metals, ceramics, nanoscale carbon-based as reinforcements. In the last few decades, high-performance magnesium-based with excellent interfacial bonding uniformly distributed reinforcements have been successfully synthesized different techniques. The yie...

The distribution of behavior between concurrently available schedules of reinforcement approximates the distribution of reinforcements between the schedules. This equality, called matching, has been explained as an instance of the principle that organisms maximize reinforcement rate. However, a precise account of the relationship between the distribution of behavior and reinforcement rate on th...

Received: December 28, 2017 Revised: February 23, 2018 Accepted: February 26, 2018 Abstract: Background: For centuries, steel rebar has been the primary reinforcement in concrete despite its major drawbacks, such as its heavy weight, high electrical conductivity, and corrosiveness. Thus, in response to the need for better alternatives, innovative Hybrid Composite (HC) reinforcements have been d...
