This paper reviews Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in Civil Engineering applications. Three FRP types are used Structural Engineering: profiles for new construction, rebars and strengthening systems. Basic materials (fibres resins), manufacturing processes material properties discussed. The focus of the is on all-FRP new-build structures their joints. All-FRP use pultruded profiles. T...

Fenerivia species (Annonaceae) are characterized by a prominent flange immediately below the perianth, which has been interpreted as synapomorphic for the genus. The homology of this flange is controversial: previous studies of Fenerivia heteropetala (an aberrant species, with 12 perianth parts in three whorls) have suggested that the flange may represent a vestigial calyx resulting from a disr...

This study focuses on behaviour of the flanged joint with a soft rubber gasket, which is common type gasket for evaporator structures. The assembled structure tested according to EN 13445-3, and strain values are measured using gauges. numerical analysis in ABAQUS comprises several models different levels detail. These calibrated test data. Recommendations regarding model complexity that requir...

There is wide use of beam-column joint with gusset plate angle connection in engineering, however, the mechanical properties these joints are still lack complete theoretical and experimental research. This kind often simplified as an articulated or other types connections design. In this paper, study finite element analysis carried out to flexural behavior connection. The used analyze differenc...

The influence of the working load on dynamic loading bolt was investigated in our study for two cases flange joints. analytical calculation according to Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) 2230 recommendation and numerical analysis using finite element method (FEM) were performed a model four-bolt joint. To verify FEM analysis, forces bolts measured during preloading application test rig. Based r...

According to the situation of multi hole machining with linear circular flange flange parts, a device is analyzed and designed, which can process multiple flange holes at the same time, and the design of the device including fixture design and multi spindle box design. the three dimensional modeling and analysis software is used, make a study on the design and manufacture of the flange hole of ...

Sensitivity analysis of investigating the parameters effect on the effective width of stressed-skin panels with single-skin and double-rib is presented. Based on the results, a simple formula for predicting the effective width of stressed-skin panels was derived. With this formula, the effective width (ratio) of flange can be determined by multiplying the primary effective width ratio, which is...

Effects of flange size on the flow patterns of an exterior circular hood subject to the influence of various uniform cross drafts were studied in an apparatus consisting of hood-model/wind-tunnel assembly. The cross draft to suction velocity ratio covered the range from 0.056 to 0.792. The flange width to hood diameter ratio spanned from 1.2 to 3.0. The hood equipped without flange was also pro...
