Abstract In order to study the parameters of automatic tying equipment for steel skeletons precast shear walls, 19 precast-shear-wall projects and 16,036 precast-shear walls have been explored, with thickness being studied according specifications sleeve diameters, difference between production without edge forms analyzed. The displays that should be able produce wall panels a height 2.5–2.95 m...

This presentation describes the concepts involved in design and construction of a reinforcement-free bridge deck intended to provide cost effective, durable and more rapid construction for highway bridges. The new wide flanged or bulb tee precast prestressed concrete girder sections currently used in bridges allow for a shorter effective span for the bridge deck because of the wide girder flang...

In this paper, we investigate the buckling of an air-water interface populated by lycopodium powder particles using a specially designed Langmuir trough with side walls that deformed affinely with the particle-laden interface in order to minimize the effect of shear during compression. Confinement effects from the side walls were studied by systematically reducing the width of the Langmuir trou...
