There have been great developments in the area of civil engineering in the recent few decades and among these, construction and material innovation are quite prominent. Steel-concrete composite construction has emerged as one of the fastest methods of construction. Even though considerable research efforts on conventional reinforced concrete columns have been executed prior to now, concrete fil...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

Introduction: The determination of accurate dose distribution is an issue of fundamental importance in radiotherapy, especially with regard to the fact that the human body is a heterogeneous medium. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the density and isodose depth profiles of 6 MV beam in a SP34 slab-wooden dust (pine)-SP34 slab (SWS) heterogeneous phantom.  Materials and Methods: Th...

this paper deals with the solution of a column with balcony loads. it is intended to determine the expressions for deflections and bending moments of the sections of a column under the action of transmitted loads from a balcony loaded at its free end by a force «p» and rigidly connected to the column somewhere between its ends. the action of this load on the column is equivalent to that of the ...

nadjaf city is located in the southern part of iraq that has warm and mid-humid climate. the temperature usually rises up to 60 centigrade in hot months. it has a significant effect on the local inhabitant's lifestyle that is appeared on the house designing. it is necessary to recognize socio-physical history of najdaf ancient context in order that the life story of historical houses in na...

purpose : to present a case of missed intraorbital wooden foreign body presented as soft tissue mass case report : we introduce a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body which presented with orbital soft tissue mass two years after trauma. a plain ct was requested which revealed a foreign body in the right orbit.conclusion : it is frequently difficult to identify and localize organic intraorbi...

in this study, compressed poplar wood was used to improve the strengths of wooden chairs. these chairs were compared to chairs made from uncompressed poplar wood. wooden chairs were assembled with two types of traditional joints including mortise and tenon and wooden pins joints. the ultimate force was applied from the front to the back of the seat, were recorded according to american library a...

The labor intensity of the construction process is determined by methods technical standardization processes time tracking. On basis these observations, regulations are developed in form GN or other collections norms costs. Labor measured person–hours, and rate costs derived from time, taking into account number performers. Variants consolidation installation structural plates covering not typi...

We report a patient with a wooden foreign body granuloma in the intervertebral disc space being symptomatic 17 years after a paraspinal penetrant trauma. According to the our result of the search for wooden foreign body granulomas, this is the first case suffered from a wooden foreign body granuloma in the intervertebral disc space that reported in the literature. In this report, we emphasized ...

Currently hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is industrially produced in the Czech Republic (Lucebni zavody Draslovka Kolin) and is extensively used for Czech mill fumigation. Therefore we evaluated the potential of HCN fumigant for treatment of wooden transport packages (pallets). We tested the penetration of HCN trough wooden pallet materials using gas chromatography. The preliminary results on biologica...
