A systematic methodology for condition assessment of the historic road bridges was needed because poor and inadequate which cannot satisfy everyday-day dynamic loads deteriorations due to aging process. Thus in this study, a new expert system based on knowledge approach has been proposed develop procedure these using fuzzy logic sets ?-cuts. Each bridge is divided into three components: superst...

Murataite sA3B6C2O22−x/2 ,F4̄3md, a derivative of an anion-deficient fluorite structure, has been synthesized as different polytypes as a result of cation ordering. Ion-beam-induced amorphization has been investigated by 1-MeV Kr2+ ion irradiation with in situ transmission electron microscopy. The critical amorphization dose was determined as a function of temperature and the degree of structura...

Chemical process synthesis methods and tools developed over the last several decades have reached a level of maturity that have provided advantage to practitioners in an environment of increased costs and shrinking margins. Future growth within the chemical process industries is likely to involve even keener competition with greater impact from factors such as raw material and energy availabili...

Urban railway tracks are the primary modes of transportation in many cities worldwide. Track vehicles mostly use DC from overhead lines, and rails used as return conductors. Because it is challenging to fully insulate rail ensure high rail-to-ground resistance, current leaks lower part track. This referred stray current. To determine detrimental effects on fastening system components, we perfor...

Engineering self-templating inorganic architectures is critical for the development of bottom-up approaches to nanoscience, but systems with a hierarchy of templates are elusive. Herein we describe that the cluster-anion-templated (CAT) assembly of a {CAT}⊂{Mo24 Fe12 } macrocycle forms a giant ca. 220 nm(3) unit cell containing 16 macrocycles clustered into eight face-shared tetrahedral cluster...

Increased patient demands for highly esthetic implant superstructure in the anterior zone has increased inthe last decades. Moreover, absence of periodontal ligament supported prosthesis causes forces tobe transferred without cushioning effect to alveolar bone, resulting marginal bone loss (MBL) andinfluence heath peri-implant tissue. Evaluate available evidence on andit consequences satisfacti...

The Christchurch Women's Hospital, completed in March 2005, is the only base-isolated building in the South Island of New Zealand. The displacement capacity of the base-isolation system and the superstructure ductility capacity are designed to meet 2000-year return-period demands. Detailed structural evaluations after the 2010 Darfield Earthquake revealed damage only to sacrificial non-structur...

I propose a superconductivity model, which is based on the assumption that stripes in high-Tc cuprates (a) exist and (b) organize themselves in a two-dimensional superstructure. The model describes hole states, which are localized either inside the stripes or in the antiferromagnetic domains between the stripes. The superconductivity in this model emerges due to the interaction, which is, presu...

Abstract Construction industry as a whole should transform into designs that enable demountability and direct reuse of structural elements to achieve the circularity in construction. Currently, connections enabling components construction are limited. Column base one main load transfer units steel structure for magnitude forces being transferred from superstructure. This paper presents an inter...
