The mechanical properties of pavement materials are crucial to the design and performance flexible pavements. One most commonly used measures these is resilient modulus (Er). Many different models were developed predict coarse soils, which based on states stresses physical soil. unconsolidated unsaturated drained cyclic triaxial tests performed for three variously graded well-graded sand specim...

the current study focuses on the experimental investigation of frp strengthening of rc portal frame subjected to combined vertical and horizontal loads. the main target of this research is to enhance the proposed structural properties that the rc portal frame had before the seismic occurrences by providing retrofitting of both columns and joints with more deformation capacity. the effect of var...

Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) Test is a fast and accurate three-point bending test, which was originally used in rock mechanics. SCB test is going to be an accepted test method for asphalt concrete pavements. Different asphalt-mixture property-values such as tensile strength, stress intensity factor and fatigue can be obtained by this test. In this study, static and dynamic tests including SCB te...

Up to now, mainly uniaxial accelerometers are described in most publications concerning this subject. However, triaxial accelerometers are needed in the biomedical field. Commercially available triaxial accelerometers consisting of three orthogonally positioned uniaxial devices do not meet all specifications of the biomedical application. Therefore, a new highly symmetrical inherently triaxial ...

We construct self-consistent dynamical models for disk galaxies with triaxial, cuspy halos. We begin with an equilibrium, axisymmetric, disk-bulge-halo system and apply an artificial acceleration to the halo particles. By design, this acceleration conserves energy and thereby preserving the system’s differential energy distribution even as its phase space distribution function is altered. The h...
