Flexure behaviour of strengthened steel poles [PDF]
Steel poles are widely used in several applications such as telecommunication, transmission and distribution, street lighting, and highway signs to name a few. It is not uncommon for a pole owner to request the addition of new equipment, attachments, etc. which can render the existing pole unsafe. If it is possible to strengthen the pole to accommodate

Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Textile-Reinforced Concrete
Numerous problems that can occur during regular building use may necessitate the need for reinforced concrete RC members to be strengthened. An increase in live loads or structural damage is two examples.

Towards more sustainable material formulations: a comparative assessment of PA11-SGW flexural performance versus oil-based composites [PDF]
The replacement of commodity polyolefin, reinforced with glass fiber (GF), by greener alternatives has been a topic of research in recent years. Cellulose fibers have shown, under certain conditions, enough tensile capacities to replace GF, achieving ...

Extrapancreatic actions of incretin-based therapies on bone in diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus is correlated with modifications in bone microarchitectural and mechanical strength, leading to increased bone fragility. The incretin hormones, with a classical effect to increase insulin secretion following food ingestion, are now

Flexural and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete elements [PDF]
This work focuses on research carried out on the use of the near surface mounted (NSM) technique to increase the flexural capacity of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete (RC) slabs or shallow beams, and the use of embedded through-section (ETS) bars for shear strengthening of these structures.

Prediction of Flexural Capacity of RC Beams Strengthened in Flexure with FRP Fabric and Cementitious Matrix [PDF]
This paper presents both experimental and analytical research results for predicting the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). In order to assess the efficiency of the FRCM-strengthening method, six beams were strengthened in flexure with FRCM composite having ...

Toughness of Timber Beams Strengthened with Jute Fibers
This research involves investigating the toughness behavior of timber beams strengthened by jute fibers with various forms of strengthening. Ten timber specimens with dimensions (70×100×1000) mm are divided into four groups and loaded under a third point
