Columns made of three different materials were evaluated with regard to the carryover of phosphorylated peptides and fumonisins in liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). In order to eliminate carryover caused by the injection operation in the autosampler, the column carryover was calculated using the duplicated solvent gradient method. A column made of a glass-lined stainles...

Mercury was refluxed in countercurrent molecular stills in order to concentrate 204Hg. Two glass sti lls , with heater and cooler placed outside the distillation columns, and one still, consisting of a glass column heated externally and a stainless-steel cooler placed concentrically inside the column, were used . As compared with a lO-cell steel column described previously, these columns showed...

concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

The aim of this paper is to present results of testing a full scale reinforced concrete T connection by static loading. The connection is a T connection representing a beam-column connection. The beam and column had a square cross section with a 300 mm dimension. The height of the column was 2.9 m and the clear beam length was 1.4 m. The connection was initially tested to failure. Galvanised st...

This paper proposes the use of artificial neural networks to predict the flexural resistance and initial stiffness of beam-to-column steel joints using the back propagation supervised learning algorithm. Three types of steel beam-to-column joints were investigated: welded, endplate and bolted with top, seat and double web angles, respectively. The neural networks results proved to be consistent...

The use of composite materials for strengthening the ailing infrastructure has steadily gained acceptance and market share. Employing composite materials in strengthening of steel structures is the subject of this study. There are several challenges that face strengthening steel structures using composite materials. The superior mechanical properties of steel result in a reduction in the effici...

this paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (ccfst) stub columns under axial loading condition based on artificial neural networks (anns) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. the input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

Original scientific paper The results of numerical experiments on dynamic response of a steel column, with a concentrated mass on the top are presented. The column is fixed in the base subjected to a triangular pulse force. Preisach hysteresis model was applied to investigate the dynamic behaviour of the steel column. In the solution of the non-linear dynamic equation of the motion the fix-poin...

Quasi-static and dynamic damage mechanisms in alumina tiles were investigated. The tiles were under a variety of boundary conditions at the tile's edges during impact NATO 0.3 cal. AP rounds with hardened and sharpened steel core were used. The alumina tile samples were 50x50 mm2 area, the thicknesses ranging from 5 to 12 mm. 'he tiles were mounted in a special confinement frame, which enabled ...
