ABSTRACT The majority of concrete buildings in the regions of high seismicity in Iran do not meet seismic code requirement, and many of these buildings are vulnerable in severe earthquakes. Concerns for seismic strengthening of concrete grew considerably in the recent years, and has been accelerated since the Bam earthquake 2004. This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical st...

transfer table is an essential stage between roughing and finishing rolling stands in a hot-strip rolling mill. high temperature and long time that strip is exposed to air at this stage cause a considerable heat loss that accounts for uneven temperature distribution, non-uniform surfaces, reduced product quality and increased production costs. using thermal shields on the transfer table is cons...
