steel corrosion of bars in concrete structures is a complex process which leads to the reduction of the cross-section bars and decreasing the resistance of the concrete and steel materials. in this study, reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete beam with corrosion defects under the distributed load was investigated using the enhanced hasofer-lind and rackwitz-fiessler (ehl-rf) method base...

In this work, the strength of cold roll bond of the commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) sheet and the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on bond strength was investigated. Through the accumulative roll bonding process, which is considered among the important severe plastic deformation processes, the creation of suitable bonds plays a significance role in the ultimate strength of the bond. Thus, resear...

objectives: to investigate the clinical efficacy of physiotherapy with and without superficial dry needling on patients with knee pain; patellofemoral pain syndrome. methods: a randomized clinical trial conducted in 2015, tehran, iran. of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, thirty-four subjects were randomly divided into two groups (17 in each group). group a was subjected to physiother...

The failure mechanism of MSE (mechanically stabilized earth) walls was studied via numerical analysis with the finite element strength reduction method, which verified as an effective technique by simulating experimental results reported in previous papers. program applied to explore effects reinforcement, geometry, and seismic parameters on control at design stage avoid unavoidable errors expe...

In this study, the Lagrange element strength reduction method is used to explore slope stability and as an evaluation of underground mining end-slope coal in a rock-stability analysis. A numerical analysis model established herein using geological conditions for coordinated open pit with area Anjialing Open-Pit Mine Underground No. 2 Mine. Additionally, evolution law open-pit studied proposed s...

Due to the effects of time and space, there is a continuous deterioration surface layers earthen sites corresponding decline in soil stability. Evaluating stability these very important for potential site restoration. In this study, we analyze, evaluate, summarize factors that adversely affect ancient moat Liye, town Longshan County, Hunan Province, China, through on-site investigation, samplin...
