Point Load Index of Rocks Exposed to High Thermal Effect [PDF]
High thermal effects on Point Load Index (P.L.I) of rocks tolerate in mind an essential issue for numerous geotechnical engineering purposes. Many engineering relevancies interact with it as Geothermal power reserve extraction, Fires that occur in ...

Understanding and overcoming the sticking point in resistance exercise [PDF]
In the context of resistance training the so-called ‘‘sticking point’’ is commonly understood as the 9 position in a lift in which a disproportionately large increase in the difficulty to continue the lift is experienced.

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

The use of point load test for Dubai weak calcareous sandstones
Intact rock is typically described according to its uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). The UCS is needed in the design of geotechnical engineering problems including stability of rock slopes and design of shallow and deep foundations resting on and/or ...

Dynamic critical behavior of failure and plastic deformation in the random fiber bundle model
The random fiber bundle (RFB) model, with the strength of the fibers distributed uniformly within a finite interval, is studied under the assumption of global load sharing among all unbroken fibers of the bundle. At any fixed value of the applied stress (
