Efficient and accurate delay calculation is very important in physical design, optimization and fast verification. In this paper we consider explicit delay calculation for RC interconnects with coupling capacitance. The formulae are derived using a simplified transfer function which offers enough accuracy. We have expressed coefficients of two pole transfer function in terms of circuit paramete...

This study discusses the behavior of ambient-cured circular geopolymer concrete specimens tested under different loading conditions. Twelve were cast and to investigate influence type reinforcement, that is, steel glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), pitch transverse conditions (concentric axial load, 15 35 mm eccentric four-point bending). The load carrying capacity, confinement efficiency, ...

High temperatures can enhance the chloride diffusion coefficient and this poses a threat to reinforced concrete (RC) piles. This study intends propose predictive models that evaluate service life lateral bearing behaviour of piles subjected marine environments varying temperatures. The show temperature accelerate rate increase concentration free in concrete. distribution law is obtained by cons...

The study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary Selenium-enriched radish sprouts (Se-RS), Vitamin E (Vit E), and Rhodobacter capsulatus (RC) on immunity, cholesterol concentration, and fatty acid composition in broiler meat. A total of 100 two-week-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into five dietary groups: I) Control; II) Se-RS (5 μg/kg Se-RS); III) Se-RS+RC (5 μg/kg ...

A structure may be subject to several aftershocks after a mainshock. In many seismic design provisions, the effect of sequences is either not directly considered or has been underestimated. This study examined behavior reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting structures with shear walls under sequences. Two three-dimensional short and medium height were designed analyzed seven real mainshock–a...

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the best retrofitting materials for strengthening due to a number of advantages, such as excellent strength to self-weight ratio, large fatigue resistance capacity, etc. Presently, many different types of FRP models are used in analysis, thereby creating erroneous analytical results. Reinforced concrete (RC) beams with carbon and glass fibrereinforced po...

Reinforced Concrete (RC) deep beams are commonly used in structural design to transfer vertical loads when there is a vertical discontinuity in the load path. Due to their deep geometry, the force distribution within the RC deep beams is very different than the RC shallow beams. There are some strut and tie model (STM) already been developed for RC deep beams. However, most of these models are ...

Abstract In this paper, three different damage indexes were used to detect nonlinear damages in two adjacent Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures considering pounding effects. 2-, 4- and 8-story benchmark RC Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) selected for purpose with 60%, 75%, 100% of minimum separation distance also without any in-between gap. These analyzed using the incremental dynamic analysis ...

Currently, the seismic collapse risk of modern code-conforming reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is often evaluated without considering behavior beam-column (BC) joints since designed to meet design codes are assumed be sufficiently rigid. BC in RC ductile moment frames may undergo a significant amount inclined cracking during strong earthquakes. Consequently, stiffness, strength, and d...
