A research study was undertaken to investigate the mechanical performance of glulam beams reinforced by fiberglass fabrics or bamboo. Local reinforcement is proposed in order to improve the flexural strength and ductility ...

The coordinated responding of pairs of rats that occur in close temporal proximity can be conceived as a unit of cooperation which has been shown to be modulated by reinforcement schedules, similar to individual responding. ...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate through bending tests the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams additionally reinforced with bamboo splints coated with rubber latex. The bamboo splints are prepared from the ...

This paper presents an alternative methodology to represent rebars and their bond-slip behavior against concrete based on coupling finite elements. Among the main features and advantages of the proposed technique are: (i) ...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate, through bending tests, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams additionally reinforced by bamboo splints. The bamboo splints are prepared from the stems of the Bambusa ...

One of the commonly used stabilization systems for rock tunnels is shotcrete. This fine aggregate mortar is usually reinforced for improving its tensile and shear strength. In deep tunnels, its capacity to absorb energy ...
