The strength assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures is challenging when deterioration and detailing deficiencies are present. anchorage the internal steel reinforcement can be critical under particular confinement conditions external pressure, cover transverse reinforcement. interaction between different contributions their effects on bond were investigated with a novel experimen...

this paper presents an experimental study on seismic repair of damaged square reinforced concrete columns with poor lap splices, 90-degree hooks and widely spaced transverse bars in plastic hinge regions according to aci detailing (pre.1971) and (318-02) using gfrp wraps. three specimens were tested in “as built” condition and retested after they were repaired by glass fiberreinforced plastic s...

We study two-dimensional (2D) vortex quantum droplets (QDs) trapped by a thicker transverse confinement with a?>1?m. Under this circumstance, the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) term should be described its original form in three-dimensional (3D) configuration. Previous studies have demonstrated that stable 2D QDs can supported thin a??1?m. In case, LHY is logarithm. Hence, two kinds of features result di...

Approximately 246 million waste tires are generated annually in the United States. That is roughly three per four individuals country. Most end up landfills, adversely affecting environment. In last two decades, researchers have explored using tire chips concrete to replace a portion of coarse aggregates. Past studies indicated that 50% aggregates can be replaced with chips. This research propo...

We report the observation of controlled expansion a two-dimensional quantum gas confined onto curved shell-shaped surface. start from ellipsoidal geometry dressed quadrupole trap and introduce novel gravity compensation mechanism enabling to explore full ellipsoid. The zero-point energy transverse confinement manifests itself by spontaneous emergence an annular shape in atomic distribution. exp...

objective: the aim of this study was to measure and compare the transverse strength and deflection of two acrylic resins. method and materials: a total of 30 samples, with dimensions of 2.5×10×65mm, were prepared with acropars and meliodent acrylic resins according to ada specification no. 12. the specimens were divided into two groups of 15 samples each. a three-point bending test was carried ...

Cylindrical magnetic nanowires with large transversal magnetocrystalline anisotropy have been shown to sustain nontrivial configurations resulting from the interplay of spatial confinement, exchange, and anisotropies. Exploiting these peculiar three-dimensional (3D) spin their solitonic inhomogeneities is expected improve magnetization switching in future spintronics, such as power-saving memor...

We study the BV-α-Deconvolution model. It is a family of regularizations of the Barotropic Vorticity (BV) model that generalize the BV-α model and improve its accuracy. A both unconditionally stable and optimally convergent scheme for the BV-α-Deconvolution model is proposed and we show that it is O(α), where N is the deconvolution order, whereas the BV-α model is at most second order accurate....

We calculate the double–spin transverse asymmetries for the Drell–Yan lepton pair production in pp and p̄p collisions. We assume the transverse and the longitudinal polarization densities to be equal at a very small scale, as it is suggested by confinement model results. Using a global fit for the longitudinal distributions, we find transverse asymmetries of order of 10 at most, in the accessibl...
