A column of alumina modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dimethylglyoxime (DMG) was prepared for the preconcentration of trace nickel from water samples for flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) determinations. Under optimized conditions (pH=7.0; flow rate: 20 mlmin-1) nickel was retained on the column. The nickel collected on the column was eluted with 5 mL of 1 M nitric ac...

The present study addresses optimal design of reinforced concrete (RC) columns based on equivalent equations considering deformability regulations of ACI318-14 under axial force and uniaxial bending moment. This study contrary to common approaches working with trial and error approach in design, at first presents an exact solution for intensity of longitudinal reinforcement in column section by...

Abstract: In recent years deadly earthquakes in seismic areas have caused special concerns regarding liquefaction phenomenon by researchers and specialists. Excess pore water pressure in loose sediments may cause phenomena such as boiling, shearing strength and dynamic stiffness reduction and lateral movements cause difficulties. Many remedial methods such as soil replacement with proper materi...

Brittle fracture is one of the principal disincentives to limit use ultrahigh-strength steels in tall buildings. This paper proposes a novel column-to-column connection without full penetration welding reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular composite columns. The describes an experimental investigation into flexural behavior proposed RCFST connection, which was manufactured using grades H-SA7...
