This article proposes a new constitutive model for the cyclic behavior of rubberized concrete confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. The is calibrated experimental results from 18 (CRuC) cylinders tested in compression. had 60% total aggregate volume replacement recycled tyre rubber. Parameters investigated include type confining material (Carbon or Aramid FRP) and number layers (...

This paper conducts an experimental study on the axial compressive performance of FRP-steel-concrete composite columns. Nine short columns were produced and evaluated in study, comprising three concrete-filled steel tube reference six columns, respectively denoted as “reference columns” “composite columns”. Two categories failure modes, including shear waist drum, observed from experiments. The...

This study was carried out to evaluate the utilization probability of the fibrous root part (FRP) of Bletilla striata, which was usually discarded and harvesting pseudobulb part (PSP). The chemical composition, total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, Ferric-reducing antioxidant power and tyrosinase inhibition activity were compared between FRP and PSP. Antioxidant and pro-oxid...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have aTtracted considerable 0llellli0l1 for applications where corrosion of steel reinforcement is problemaric. Due 10 rhe generally low elastic modulus and poor bond clwracreristics of FRP as coil/pared 10 steel reinforcing bars, the use of FRP results in IGI:i?er crack widlhs under senJice loads. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRe) is proposed for u...

obtaining a seismic section with high temporal and spatial resolution was always one of the goals of seismic data processors and interpreters. accurate estimation of the thicknesses of thin beds is an important tool in this regard. the basic problem is that the wavelength of the signal must be similar in dimention to that of the bed thinness. if it is much longer than the bed thinness, the dete...

The external reinforcement system based on carbon fiber has been used for decades to strengthen reinforced concrete elements. At the same time, it is impossible not recognize that existing calculation methods are largely empirical dependencies obtained from experimental studies. One of these issues related application methodology materials heterogeneous origin-tapes and laminates. In general, p...

In an attempt to identify autoantigens of synovium in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we constructed lambda phage expression cDNA libraries from synovium and screened them by IgG purified from synovial fluids, both of which were derived from RA patients. As a result of this unique combination of the libraries and probes, we cloned follistatin-related protein (FRP) as a novel autoantigen in systemic ...

for the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...
