This paper presents and discuss results of laboratory tests with a compacted clayey sand. Two sets of tests were performed to analyze the shear strength and the small-strain shear modulus (Go) of this soil. The first set ...

This study deals with a modeling approach that integrates shear and flexure interaction to predict the response of reinforced concrete squat walls. The model incorporates RC panel behavior into a displacementbased column ...

This paper analyzes the punching strength of concrete flat slabs with shear reinforcement that does not embrace flexural reinforcement. This paper also reports the results of tests of slabs without shear reinforcement. ...

Tropical soils have peculiar characteristics and behavior due to its geology and soil-forming processes typical of tropical regions. Besides the mineralogical composition and complex structures, long periods of rainy and ...

Liners are important impermeable constituents of sanitary landfill to contain the transport of pollutants to the unsaturated zone. The system can be made of different kind, being the compacted soil and geosynthetics widely ...

The aim of the present study was to assess the shear bond strength between a heat-polymerized denture base resin and acrylic resin teeth after immersion in different denture cleansers by simulating a 180-day use. Two acrylic ...
