Abstract-Predicting 28-day compressive strength of concrete is an important research task for many years. In this study, concrete specimens were cured in two phases, initially at room temperature for a maximum of 30 h and later at a higher temperature for accelerated curing for a maximum of 3 h. Using the early strength obtained after the two-phase curing and the curing parameters, regression e...

The aim of this investigation was to analyze the effects of an eccentric strength training protocol using supramaximal loads (>1 repetition maximum [1RM]) on different maximal and explosive strength parameters of the lower extremity. The eccentric maximal strength (EX max), maximal isometric strength ("maximal voluntary contraction" [MVC]), 1RM, explosive strength ("rate of force development" [...

The groundwater flow problem in GFLOW is formulated in terms of the analytic element method (AEM), which is a variant of the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Within the AEM a solution is sought for the a priory unknown “strength” parameters of the analytic elements. The strength parameter of a line-sink is its extraction rate σ [m/day], which is constant along the line-sink (Haitjema, ...

This paper focuses on the response of circular machine foundation resting on different soils (sand and clay) through studying the variation of soil shear strength parameters and strain with the number of cycles. The objective of the current study is to explore the results related to the parameters of the dynamic load (number of loading cycles and frequency of load) related to the circular footi...
