The main objective of this study was to numerically assess the effect of boundary elements with different types of steel and concrete materials on nonlinear behavior of composite steel–reinforced concrete wall (CSRCW) by employing ABAQUS software. Two types of common steel profiles including box and I-shaped sections, located at the middle and extremities of the wall, were employed to assess th...

the dial by two screws, but in the faulty vaporizer one had fallen out, into the top of the casing. With the cam loose, it was possible to turn the dial a few degrees clockwise beyond the OFF position, when a strong smell of enflurane was noticed in the fresh gas flow. Anaesthetists should be aware that unless the OFF mark on the concentration setting dial coincides with the datum mark, then th...

In this paper we present a soft computing system developed to optimize the laser milling manufacture of high value steel components, a relatively new and interesting industrial technique. This multidisciplinary study is based on the application of neural projection models in conjunction with identification systems, in order to find the optimal operating conditions in this industrial issue. Sens...

Bridges are often built in locations susceptible to multiple extreme hazards. Meeting some or all of these constraints drives the development of innovative multi-hazard design concepts. This paper presents the results of research conducted to develop and experimentally validate such multi-hazard bridge pier concepts. The first concept is a pier-bent made of concrete filled steel tube columns. F...

Industrial Photogrammetry which has advantages of high accuracy and fast measurement time is widely used in the manufacture measurement application. Especially, industrial photogrammetry has more powerful capability of quickness in the 3 dimensional coordinate measurement then comparing with optical measurement system like total station, laser tracker and laser scanner. The purpose of this pape...
