This paper explores the use of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material for strengthening of steel bridges. The research work includes an experimental program to study the effectiveness of using very small diameter CFRP strands, configured in a sheet format, for strengthening of steel structures. The experimental program includes scaled steel-concrete composite beams strengthened with th...

The Zobele Company, located in Trento, Northern Italy, was founded in 1919 by Enrico Zobele Sr., who became famous when he invented his first “killer product” in 1930... flypaper. After the Second World War, the bombed-out factory was rebuilt by his sons, Luigi and Fulvio. They subsequently introduced new products for home hygiene and home care such as steel wool, mosquito repellent coils, heat...

Work versus Non-work Predictors of Job Satisfaction among Japanese White-collar Workers: Akihito HAGIHARA, et al. Department of Health Services Management and Policy, Kyushu University Graduate School of Medicine—In the present study, we conducted a cross-sectional study of male white-collar workers in Japan, and evaluated the relative importance of work and non-work factors in deciding the lev...

these days, limited energy resources, and also the cost of investment in new and renewable energy is very costly and uneconomical. in the industrial sector, especially energy-intensive industries such as steel, finding appropriate solutions to update the technology, production and reduce energy consumption in this sector is very important. the main aim of this study is the identification and ra...

Obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. Using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at Mobarakeh Steel Company. The effects of different parameters including the heat resu...
