In interdependent networks, it is usually assumed, based on percolation theory, that nodes become nonfunctional if they lose connection to the network giant component. However, in reality, some nodes, equipped with alternative resources, together with their connected neighbors can still be functioning after disconnected from the giant component. Here, we propose and study a generalized percolat...

Composite resins were reinforced with glass and polyethylene fibers in this study, and the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color change of composite resins was investigated. After accelerated aging, the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color stability of composite resins was also examined. There were three experimental groups (n=12 disks per group): non-fiber-reinforced composite (non-...

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has attracted much attention in China as a new and efficient method. However, the seismic performance of connections between precast piers other structures limits application ABC medium high zones. In this paper, quasi-static test was conducted to investigate differences cap–column socket connection (PSC) specimen, which reinforced an embedded RC column-to-...

the total coal and lignite consumption of the thermic power plants in turkey is approximately 55 million tons and nearly 15 million tons of fly ash is produced. the remarkable increase in the production of fly ash and its disposal in an environmentally friendly manner is increasingly becoming a matter of global concern. studies for the utilization of fly ash in turkey are necessary to reduce en...

The seismic performance of prefabricated hollow circular piers with socket and slot connection was evaluated through model tests numerical simulations. quasi-static cyclic lateral load constant axial were conducted on three large pier specimens. these specimens cast by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber concrete, the connected to cover beams slotted connections bearing platform socketed connections....
