In structural construction fields, reducing the overall self-weight of structure is considered a primary objective and substantial challenge in civil engineering field, particularly earthquake-affected buildings tall buildings. Different techniques were implemented to attain this goal; one them setting voids specific position through structure, just like voided slab or BubbleDeck slab. The main...

Background: Expanded polystyrene granules (EPG) can be used as an aggregate for producing lightweight concrete (LWC). EPG was to make LWC with a density of 1326kg/m 3 and 1337kg/m 3, while the without fiber had 1320kg/m . Due low strength brittleness LWC, need improve properties this type is necessary. Objective: The aim paper research investigate possible ways enhancing mechanical LWC. Hence, ...

tendons are frequently targets of injury in sports and work. whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) have beneficial effects on tendon healing is still a matter of debate. this study was conducted to evaluate effects of flunixin meglumine (fm) on tendon healing after experimentally induced acute trauma. twenty eight adult male new zealand white rabbits were subjected to complete t...

Due to their light weights and high load carrying capacities, composite structures are widely used in various industrial applications especially in aerospace industry. Stiffening ribs are the main features of lattice type composite structures. Strength to weight ratio is known to be as one of the most critical design parameter in these structures. In this study, the effect of some parameters su...

abstract childhood and adolescence are critical periods for the skeleton. mechanical load has then been shown to be one of the best stimuli to enhance not only bone mass, but also structural skeletal adaptations, as both contributing to bone strength. exercise prescription also includes a window of opportunity to improve bone strength in the late pre- and early peri-pubertal period. there is so...

coupled -shear walls are one of lateral load resisting systems in high and medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. the lateral structural response is exactly dependents on the shear walls behavior; therefore these elements must response well whenundergodifferent load conditions. the structures located in near-source region behave differently compared to those in near-source sites when subjec...

well-known seismic design codes have offered an alternative equivalent static procedure for practical purposes instead of verifying design trials with complicated step-y-step dynamic analyses. such a pattern of base-shear distribution over the building height will enforce its special stiffness and strength distribution which is not necessarily best suited for seismic design. the present study, ...
