Based on the modified compression field theory, this paper considers inter-locking force between recycled concrete aggregates and their effective grain sizes, establishes a shear model to describe accurately actual of beams with web reinforcement. Mathematical formulas for calculation interlocking are deduced, capacity can be estimated. The data five test 20 in open literature good agreement th...

In order to investigate the main influencing factors and development rules of shear performance high strength concrete (HSC) beams without web reinforcement under concentrated loads, analyze compare rationality China American Code formulas Zsutty formula, in this paper, 303 sets experimental data about test HSC at home abroad were selected, based on these data, calculation method capacity was d...

Course Description In this course, we will focus on artificial intelligence for mobile robots. You will be programming Pioneer robots using Pyro (Python for robots). These robots have a fixed sensor set and fixed sensor placement – the course will be more of a software course than a hardware course. Topics to be covered during the course include robot architectures, vision (including color visi...

Domain-specific search engines are becoming increasingly popular because they offer increased accuracy and extra features not possible with general, Web-wide search engines. Unfortunately, they are also difficult and timeconsuming to maintain. This paper proposes the use of machine learning techniques to greatly automate the creation and maintenance of domain-specific search engines. We describ...

In this paper we advocate a paradigm of socially guided machine learning, designing agents that take better advantage of the situated aspects of learning. We augmented a standard Reinforcement Learning agent with the social mechanisms of attention direction and gaze. Experiments with an interactive computer game, deployed over the World Wide Web to over 75 players, show the positive impact of t...

In this paper, we analyze and compare general development and individual behavior on two non-profit internet-based hospitality exchange services – bewelcome.org and warmshowers.org. We measure the effort needed to achieve a reallife interaction, whereby the advantages of mutual altruism arise. The effort needed is the communication quantified in units of time. Since the amount of effort is not ...

It is observed that, reinforced concrete beams failed due to flexure but in case of deep beam failure occur due to shear. Deep beams may be defined as the beam where shear span to depth ratio less than 2. A number of researchers already proposed various approach to predict the ultimate strength of deep beams. In this study a newer approach is developed to calculate the ultimate shear strength o...
