Numerical Analysis of the Tetrapylon Roman's Triumphal Arch of Tebessa: A Case Study. [PDF]
The Tetrapylon Roman Triumphal Arch or commonly called 'Caracalla Gate', located in Tebessa City (Northern Algeria), is considered as one of the most distinctive type of arches associated with the ancient Roman's architecture. This historical monument,

Abstract Pedro de Ayala served as a diplomat for King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile at the courts of Henry VII, King of England, and James IV, King of Scots. In July 1498, he wrote a letter, partly in cipher, to report to his king and queen on such matters as Spain's interests in international diplomacy; the characters and ...

Influence of longitudinal reinforcement on development of normal cracks
Using a model of normal crack propagation in reinforced concrete members, an analytical expression is presented for the stress intensity factor defining the intensity of stress in area at the crack tip. This factor is in linear relationship to the stress

A comment on towers for windmills [PDF]
Design considerations for windmill tower structures include the effects of normal wind forces on the rotor and on the tower. Circular tabular or masonry towers present a relatively simple aerodynamic solution. Economic factors establish the tubular tower

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]
As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Thiocracking, the one‐pot reaction of elemental sulfur with printed circuit board waste, converts unrecyclable laminates into high‐sulfur composites. The most practical material prepared herein combines cement‐like strength with 100% strength retention after 10 melt–recast cycles, low thermal conductivity (0.37 W m−1 K−1), and antimicrobial efficacy ...
