Ductility of continuous RC beams strengthened with partially bonded near-surface mounted CFRP bars

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences
Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods have been implemented for repair and strengthening work in several applications for reinforced concrete (RC) elements. The linear brittle behavior of these composite materials can be an excessive limitation for

Performance of RCC box drain under fluctuating depth of a road embankment

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2019
The cross drain (CD) structure near to upcoming over bridge is falling under upcoming approaches and structure is loaded due to additional fill. The aim of this paper is to compare the overburden effect (up to 6m) on the CD by using two-dimensional ...

Mechanical Model of Steel-concrete Composite Joint under Sagging Bending Moment

Selected Scientific Papers: Journal of Civil Engineering, 2012
In buildings with steel-concrete composite floors, joints are designed to transmit mainly hogging bending moment. In case of the large horizontal loads due to wind, earthquake or accidental events, sagging bending moments in a joint can also occur ...

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...
