Nowadays, soil reinforcement using polymer elements have been investigated by a number of researchers in order to increase the load capacity of soils. Reinforcing soils using fibers is a method of soil improvement, which offers a homogenous mixture in combination with soils, regarding their tensile strength. This combination maintains pressure loading capacity and properties in mutual resistant...

This study aims to investigate seismic behavior of lead-core rubber elastomeric bearing (LRB) and curved surface friction pendulum slider (FPS) base isolated models considering torsional irregularity for typical reinforced concrete buildings. Nonlinear structural members was considered in analysis models. Total 1408 different nonlinear time history analyses 3-dimensional 3, 5, 7 9-story were pe...

The subject is truly vast, far greater than will be encompassed in this paper which can be best deal with various examples. It should be realised that virtually any fairly solid substance may be called upon as a bearing material. It is easy to quote common examples which use rubies, wood, rubber, leather etc. as bearing materials and this diversity is only a microcosmic part of the range availa...

In Thailand, RSS chamber of community-level rubber cooperatives can be classified into two models: old and new model, named after the years of their establishment. Hot gas as a heat supply from Para-rubber (PR) wood (Hevea brasiliensis) combustion is used for removing moisture from the natural rubber (NR) sheets. Smoke and soot particles from PR wood burning has effected to the quality of the N...
