The ground beams comprise a concrete building material 6 including reinforcement means, wherein the reinforcement comprises a plurality of plastic fibres 7. No other reinforcement means, such as steel rebar, are utilised. The method comprises forming the ground beams in situ by pouring the concrete...
this paper focuses on the settlement process rather than the total settlement prediction. The main contribution of this study lies in the establishment
Hybrid fibre reinforcement was used in the experiments, i.e. 2 vol% randomly distributed coir fibre with 25 mm and 1 vol% aligned long sisal fibre with 375 mm. The accelerated carbonation was conducted by CO2 incubator with 9.8% of CO2 for 109 days. Water immersing, outdoor, and wet/...
Estimate the loading on the beams using the slab thicknesses and beam dimensions 2. Determine the design moment and shear for the beams using manual analysis. 3. Design the beams for flexure as per the loading determined in the previous assignment...
The reinforcement ratios in the inner and outer sides in circumferential direction were 0.31%–1.1% and 1.1%–3.3%, respectively. Those in meridional direction were 0.33%–1.3% and 1.1%–2.4%, respectively. The soil density, shear wave velocity, dynamic shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, ...
When building a concrete foundation, builders begin by clearing the ground and leveling the soil. Wood is used to build a foundation frame, with rails used for reinforcement. From there, the concrete is mixed and poured into the foundation frame. ...
PCSR can be defined as the ability of the beam to resist load after the occurrence of the first shear crack [55]. PCSR of beams without shear reinforcement was measured using Eq. (1). As shown in Fig. 7, the addition of GGBFS content had a more substantial impact on the improvement ...
offloading problem using non-cooperative game theory and provided a solution. Teymoori et al. [37] described the offloading decision process as a stochastic game model to minimize mutual interference during channel access, solving for Nash equilibrium based on multi-agent reinforcement learning. ...
The effect of near-fault versus far-field ground motion on beam and column reinforcement was investigated in this study. Several parameters were used to study the effects of near-fault versus far-field ground motions and presented the near-fault caused more extensive apparent damage in the column...
Suddenly O’Ryan found himself looking down the length of a beam that passed beneath the craft. The battle above still raged in all its fury, while on the waves another battle copter was out down by the shore batteries. The ocean was steaming and boiling where beams struck all over its ...
