frps (fiber reinforced polymer) possess many favorable characteristics suitable and applicable for construction industry when compared with steel reinforcement. there are new ideas to use frps as longitudinal or transverse reinforcement for new concrete elements particularly for bridge decks or beams. although high tensile strength of frp is main characteristic for applications at both areas, i...

The longitudinal dispersion coefficient is used to describe the change in characteristics of a solute cloud, as it travels along the longitudinal axis of a pipe. Taylor [1954] proposed a now classical expression to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient within turbulent pipe flow. However, experimental work has shown significant deviation from his prediction for Re < 20000. This paper ...

BACKGROUND The public is less willing to allow their personal health information to be disclosed for research purposes if they do not trust researchers and how researchers manage their data. However, the public is more comfortable with their data being used for research if the risk of re-identification is low. There are few studies on the risk of re-identification of Canadians from their basic ...

J. Soria Department of Mechanical Engineering, Monash University, Clayton, Australia • Results are presented on (1) the shear layer vortices developing in the free shear layers located between the separation point and the first shed Strouhal vortex of a circular cylinder and (2) the longitudinal vortices developing in the braid region of the Strouhal vortices in the wake. Evidence based on flow...
