In this study, the performance of shred tire mixed with railway subgrade is evaluated to reduce environmental vibrations caused by trains’ passage. Since incorporating the Shred Tire seeds in soil affects on its shear strength and deformability parameters so, the first stage of the study was allocated to conducting a series of laboratory tests such as the unconfined compression test, and CBR an...

In this work, the mechanical behavior of AZ31B-F magnesium alloy under cyclic loading is analyzed with goal contributing to advancement its use in design components and structures. To achieve goal, an experimental program was implemented evaluate response specific proportional loads different stress amplitude ratios. Afterwards, regression methods were applied extend data a wide range loads. As...

A total of nine specimens were constructed and tested under cyclic loads to investigate the differences in seismic behavior between glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced concrete (RC) joints RC beam-to-column joints. The experimental parameters included stirrup ratios, axial pressure ratios strength loading test results showed that GFRP-RC can withstand significantly high lateral def...

Retrograde locked intramedullary nailing has gradually been widely used to treat femoral supracondylar fractures. Because a standard femoral supracondylar nail has unique disadvantages: high price and potentially inducing a femoral shaft stress fracture, it is often replaced by a traditional femoral or tibial locked nail. A biomechanical comparison was therefore made between both traditional lo...

Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites are widely used in ship hull, airframe and wind turbine structural applications where they are subjected to various types of constant and variable amplitude cyclic-fatigue loads. Hence, fatiguedurability is one of the important requirements for such composite materials. These FRPs, generally, contain continuous fibres of carbon or glass reinforced in a ...
