The incorporation of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) into bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] forage systems in the southern US has increased. Stockpiling this mixture may extend grazing season fall and winter months with high-quality forage. objective 2-yr study was to evaluate agronomic structural responses alfalfa-bermudagrass mixtures managed under five stockpiling periods (6, 8, 10, 12...

this study evaluates two different types of techniques for concrete hollow-block sections reinforced with traditional steel rebars and wire meshes, and compares their structural behaviour to that of an ordinary reinforced concrete beam section. the comparisons are based on the responses both before and after they were repaired with glass fibre reinforced polymers (gfrp). the specimens were subj...

Simultaneous identification of both structural parameters and ground motion of an earthquake-excited structure by using measured structural response time histories only has received great interests in recent years. A hybrid identification method is proposed in this paper for the problem concerned. The hybrid identification method first identifies the structural parameters above the first floor ...
