Quality education can be delivered at a time, place and pace that suit the learner, teacher and administrator. One way to achieve this is for universities to devise an appropriate and effective web based education environment that supports customization for the individual. Such an environment requires interoperability of heterogeneous systems, reduced cost through re-use of existing invested te...

FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Bar reinforced coral concrete beam is a new type of structural member that has been used more and widely in marine engineering recent years. In order to study predict the flexural performance CFRP beams, rigidity, crack morphology failure mode were studied detail. The results show under condition similar reinforcement ratio, rigidity significantly lower than ordin...

In this study, the slope deflection method was presented for structures made of small-scaled axially functionally graded beams with a variable cross section within scope nonlocal elasticity theory. The small-scale effect between individual atoms cannot be neglected when are small in size. Therefore, theory is used throughout. stiffness coefficients and fixed-end moments calculated using initial...

© 2012 IBRACON The studied connections are composed of concrete filled steel tubes (CFT) connected to composite beams by passing through bolts, endplates and steel deck, which also contributes to support the applied loads. The parametric analysis presented in this work is based on numerical simulations performed with software TNO Diana, using experimental results to calibrate the reference nume...

ABSTRACT: Several reinforced concrete deep beams with different L/D ratios (1.5, 1.6, 1.71) were cast and tested in order to investigate the strain distribution pattern at mid-section of the beam. This paper describes analysis of deep beams subjected to two point loading with three different L/D ratios (1.5, 1.6, 1.71) using Non-linear Finite element method (ANSYS 9.0 software). In ANSYS 9.0 so...
