the use of polymer composite (frp) as a reinforcement material for the repair and strengthening of important components of reinforced concrete structures, particularly columns, has found wide spread. in this study, the effect of intermediate layer on improving the confinement behavior of reinforced concrete columns has been investigated. to achieve the objectives of the study, 14 cylindrical re...

In this study, planning, design and cost analysis of prefabricated beef cattle barns carried out. Steel mesh was used to strengthen the foundation structure. Galvanized-sheet material as carrier cover material, shaped like a trapezoid cross-section. The barns, which are planned in form tunnel cross-section tie-stalls type, designed for 10, 20 30-cattle be particularly suitable family enterprise...

Mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSEW, around Florida were instrumented through their concrete covers to survey corrosion rates of galvanized strip soil reinforcement by polarization measurements. The first broad survey was made 10 years ago as a baseline and a new survey is currently underway to assess long term corrosion rate trends. Initial results of an ongoing survey confirm low rates ...

The aerial spray prediction model AgDRIFT embodies the computational engine found in the near-wake Lagrangian model AGricultural DISPersal (AGDISP) but with several important features added that improve the speed and accuracy of its predictions. This article summarizes those changes, describes the overall analytical approach to the model, and details model implementation, application, limits, a...

In the present study, physical characteristics of some dry bean cultivars (Sarikiz, Basara and Horoz) a local population grown in Konya province Turkey were determined an experimental test set up was used to investigate flow rates on different surfaces (galvanized sheet, plain sheet painted iron) conveyor channel angles (24 0 , 28 32 36 ). Sarikiz, Horoz respectively at 10.85, 9.63 9.12% moistu...
