Mechanical behavior of flax-lime concrete blocks made of waste flax shives and lime binder reinforced with jute fabric
Due to the increase in production of construction materials, the emission of carbon dioxide levels and the requirement for producing materials with a less environmental footprint is gaining more attention. This paper focuses ... -
New mechanics-based confinement model and stress–strain relationship for analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with FRP composites
The analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites require the mathematical equation of stress–strain relationship and the ultimate conditions (i.e., stress and strain) ... -
Nucleation and arrest of dynamic slip on a pressurized fault
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 ... -
Numerical Analysis of Longwall Mining Layout for a Wyoming Trona Mine
At Solvay Mine, located in southwestern Wyoming, a subhorizontal trona seam is mined at depths of between 460-490 m using mechanized room-and-pillar and longwall mining methods. The stratigraphy at the mine generally ... -
Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections
This paper presents a finite element (FE) investigation on the behavior of fillet-welded hollow structural section (HSS) rigid end-plate connections, wherein the entire weld length is effective. The FE models are validated ... -
Numerical Modeling of the Lateral Behavior of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles in Sand
In this study, a numerical model is developed to study concrete-filled FRP tube (CFFT) pile behavior and interactions with foundation soil under lateral loading. The model, based on nonlinear finite element analysis (NFEA) ... -
Parametric study of the flexural behaviour of sandwich panels with flax FRP faces and foam cores using finite element analysis
To meet the growing demands for increased sustainability in infrastructure, it is important to consider the use of more environmentally-friendly materials, such as plant-based fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Plant-based ... -
Partial-Composite Behavior of Sandwich Beams Composed of Fiberglass Facesheets and Woven Fabric Core
In this study, thin-walled sandwich composites made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) facesheets and a three-dimensional (3D) woven fabric core were studied. A total of 30 small-scale sandwich beam specimens were ... -
Particle size effects on breakage of ACT aggregates under physical and environmental loadings
Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings
Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ... -
Performance of High-Modulus Near-Surface-Mounted FRP Laminates for Strengthening of Concrete Columns
This study investigates the performance of high-modulus near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates in strengthening of existing concrete columns. The focus of this study is on the compressive and ... -
Post-impact residual strength and resilience of sandwich panels with natural fiber composite faces
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 ...
