The objective of this paper is to propose and illustrate feasibility, approach, validation as per prevailing codes design standards, specification rehabilitate bridge pier cap by using Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC). evaluation existing caps bearings indicates that the complete removal bearing undesirable due 1) massive size 2) difficulty in cutting through thick components 3) deeply an...

Shear enhancement occurs in reinforced concrete (RC) beams when loads are applied within around 2d of supports where d is the beam effective depth. This paper examines shear RC beams, with stirrups, which loaded both and at 3d from minimal. Simultaneously loading inside outside commonly practice but has not previously been systematically studied. A total eight were tested two groups four having...

Within the frame of revision Eurocode 2 for concrete structures, section devoted to strut-and-tie design has been updated enhance its applicability, consistency with other sections and ease-of-use. As a result, number changes have introduced. Namely, use stress fields their combination classical models incorporated. The in this can be seen as an effort provide more comprehensive general tool de...

OBJECTIVE To measure the effect of columellar struts and cephalic trim on tip projection and tip rotation using digitized photographs. METHODS Using photographs of 62 patients who underwent external rhinoplasty, we retrospectively analyzed nasal tip projection (the Goode method) and rotation (nasolabial angle) before and after surgery. A cartilaginous strut was used in 36 patients, whereas 26...

Transportation is a large and growing part of the world’s energy consumption. This drives a need for reduced weight of rail vehicles, just as it does for road vehicles. In spite of weight reductions, the vehicle still has to provide the same level of acoustic comfort for the passengers. Porous materials, with more than 90% air, are often included in multi-layer vehicle panels, contributing to a...
