Flexural strengthening of RC continuous slab strips using NSM CFRP laminates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To assess the effectiveness of the near surface mounted (NSM) technique, in terms of load carrying and moment redistribution capacities, for the flexural strengthening of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) slabs, an experimental program was carried ...

Information and affective valence influence judgments of complexity, liking and understanding

open access: yesBritish Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual complexity is a key factor in perceptual and evaluative judgments. People's representation of visual complexity is constructed from quantitative and structural image features, but it is also influenced by familiarity and expertise. We examined how people represent visual complexity and its impact on perception and evaluation, focusing ...

Mechanical Behavior of a Partially Encased Composite Girder with Corrugated Steel Web: Interaction of Shear and Bending

open access: yesEngineering, 2017
The synergistic use of partially encased concrete and composite girders with corrugated steel webs (CGCSWs) has been proposed to avoid the buckling of corrugated steel webs and compression steel flanges under large combined shear force and bending moment

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

A new concept for the contact at the interface of steel-concrete composite beams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThis paper deals with the problem of contact at the interface of steel-concrete composite beams. The F.E. model "Pontmixte", able to study continuous composite beams at real scale, was based on a finite element of composite beam ...

Scale‐robust fibre orientation analysis of hair using two‐dimensional Fourier transform

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
We present a simple and robust method to quantify hair fibre orientation using 2D‐DFT. It works with standard images and extracts directional features at multiple scales. This enables objective evaluation of cosmetic treatments and product effects. Abstract Objective To address the current lack of standardized tools for evaluating hair appearance in ...

Ductility and moment redistribution capacity of two-span RC beams

open access: yesИнженерно-строительный журнал, 2019
The particular weaknesses of concrete buildings are brittle fracture and lack of material ductility, so using steel reinforcements and discrete fibers are an attempt to overcome this weakness.
