Strengthening Of R.C. Beams By External Steel Plate Using Mechanical Connection Technique

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2014
The volume of the infrastructure that needs upgrading, strengthening and/or repair is growing worldwide. A strengthen method that was used quite extensively during the mid 1970s is steel Plate Bonding, this method has gained renaissance in the last ...

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

The impact of external shocks on the eurozone: a structural VAR model [PDF]

This paper studies the impact of the main external shocks which the eurozone and member states have undergone since the start of the 2000s. Such shocks have been monetary (drop in global interest rates), financial (two stock market crises) and real ...

Analytical and Experimental Assessment of RC Beams Strengthened Using Galvanised Steel Sheets

Infrastructures
While steel sheets are an effective strengthening technique for existing structures, experimental evidence on galvanised steel sheets is limited, necessitating their evaluation as a durable and cost-effective solution for the flexural strengthening of ...

Control of Polarization and Polar Helicity in BiFeO3 by Epitaxial Strain and Interfacial Chemistry

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In BiFeO3 thin films, the interplay of interfacial chemistry, electrostatics, and epitaxial strain is engineered to stabilize homohelicity in polarization textures at the domain scale. The synergistic use of a Bi2O2‐terminated Aurivillius buffer layer and a highly anisotropic compressive epitaxial strain offers new routes to control the polar‐texture ...

Numerical Modeling of Reinforcement Solutions in Traditional Stone Masonry Using a Particle Model

Buildings
Traditional stone masonry walls are structural elements in most historic buildings. To preserve them and improve their ability to withstand extreme events, such as earthquakes, it is necessary to implement effective reinforcement solutions.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
