The aim of this study is to analytically assess the seismic performance reinforced concrete (RC) columns with interlocking hoops using a novel damage index, and provide data for developing next generation design criteria. Interlocking are used in rectangular or non-circular columns, splices shall be located column interior. Seismic RC controlled by level confinement provided transverse steel. c...

Crystalline bovine or porcine glucagon was fractionated by chromatography on columns of DEAE-cellulose in the presence of buffers containing ‘7 M urea. About 89% of the recovered protein comprises highly purified glucagon; 10% is monodesamidoglucagon and another 0.8 % resembles glucagon in amino acid composition and in electrophoretic mobility. The monodesamidoglucagon was identified and charac...

Composite columns were preferred over reinforced concrete in modern-day construction techniques due to their confinement effect. Different materials utilized as the outer confining tube and are mainly characterized by mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is develop a novel simplified artificial neural network model for determination ultimate axial load circular composite i...
