The mechanical performance of concrete connection plays an important role in the response of precast concrete structures. Unlike conventional small concrete shear key which is mainly to help with alignment at installation, ...

We have investigated if a new LEDs system has enough efficient energy to promote efficient shear and tensile bonding strength resistance under standardized tests. LEDs 470 +/- 10 nm can be used to photocure composite during ...

This article presents an experimental study aimed at understanding the effect of openings on the seismic response of partially grouted reinforced masonry (PG-RM) walls. For this purpose, four full-scale PG-RM walls with ...

Fiber-metal laminates (FML) composed of alternating layers of unidirectional fibers-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminae and aluminum-alloy sheets offer some superior mechanical properties, compared with either conventional ...

The influence of soft plastic in shear strength of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been a constant target of study because of its enormous importance in this matter. However, this is a complex issue, since there are many ...

The present research aims to study the interaction of waterproofing systems’ interfaces of landfills, formed by a fine soil and geomembranes textured and smooth. The soil was collected in deformed samples from a deposit ...
