Effect of Fiber Orientation on Nonlinear Behavior of CFRP Composites
(Sage Publications, 2009-09)Fiber orientation is one of the important parameters that affect strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete columns. A number of studies have been conducted on various fiber orientations and wrap thicknesses, but have ... -
Experimental Study of Rectangular RC Columns Strengthened with CFRP Composites under Eccentric Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-01-28)This paper presents the results of experimental studies on reinforced concrete columns strengthened with CFRP composites under combination of axial load and bending moment. A total of seven large-scale specimens with ... -
Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-03-15)This paper presents a robust analytical model for a moment connection of concrete-filled fiber reinforced-polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) to concrete footings. The CFFT connection is based on a simple approach of direct embedment ... -
Closed-Form Model and Parametric Study on Connection of Concrete-Filled FRP Tubes to Concrete Footings by Direct Embedment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-10-30)Concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) have been introduced as a new system for piles, columns and poles. A simple moment connection based on direct embedment of the CFFT into concrete footings or ... -
Post-impact residual strength and resilience of sandwich panels with natural fiber composite faces
(Elsevier, 2011-06-01)In this paper, the post-impact residual flexural behavior of sandwich panels with flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) faces and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam cores is investigated experimentally. The faces were manufactured ... -

A review on the relation between simulation and improvement in hospitals
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2012)Background: Simulation applications on operations management in hospitals are frequently published and claim to support decision-making on operations management subjects. However, the reported implementation rates of ... -
Traceable dynamic measurement of mechanical quantities: Objectives and first results of this european project
(EDP Sciences, 2012)Nine european national metrology institutes (NMIs) are collaborating in a new project funded by the european metrology research programme (EMRP) to establish traceable dynamic measurement of the mechanical quantities force, ... -
Seismic and aseismic slip pulses driven by thermal pressurization of pore fluid
(2012-04)There are several lines of evidence that suggest that thermal pressurization (TP) of pore fluid within a low-permeability fault core may play the key role in the development of earthquake slip. To elucidate effects of TP ... -
A Coupled MM5-CMAQ Modeling System for Assessing Effects of Restriction Measures on PM10 Pollution in Olympic City of Beijing, China
(2012-06)In this paper, a coupled MM5-CMAQ modeling system was employed to investigate the PM10 pollution issue in Beijing, China, with a focus on assessing the effects of different restriction policies implemented during and after ... -
Characterizing Porosity and Diffusive Properties of Monolithic Cement-Based Solidified/Stabilized Materials
(2012-07)This paper presents the application of a single reservoir diffusion test to determine both the effective porosity of a soil-cement matrix and the diffusivity of tritium through saturated, monolithic, cement solidified/stabilized ... -
Nucleation and arrest of dynamic slip on a pressurized fault
(2012-10)Elevated pore pressure can lead to reactivation of slip on pre-existing fractures and faults when the static Coulomb failure is reached locally. As the pressurized region spreads diffusively, slip can accumulate quasi-statically ... -
