Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

modern vehicle bodies make intensive use of high strength steel grades to meet the contradicting demand of lighter weight and simultaneously better mechanical performance. for many steel grades microalloying by niobium is the key to achieve their characteristic property profile. in hsla steels niobium enhances the strength primarily by grain refinement. in interstitial free high strength steels...

a comparison between design codes i.e. aci and aisc-lrfd in evaluation of flexural strength of concrete filled steel tubular columns (cfts) is examined. for this purpose an analytical study on the response of cfts under axial-flexural loading is carried using three-dimensional finite elements with elasto-plastic model for concrete with cracking and crushing capability and elastoplastic kinemati...

results grip strength and tip and palmer pinch strength in dominant side were statistically greater than them in nondominant side (p < 0.05). there were significant associations between grip strength and height (r = 0.33, p < 0.001), body mass (r = 0.50, p < 0.001), bmi (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), muscle mass of upper extremity (r = 0.56, p < 0.001), fat free mass (r = 0.57, p < 0.001), fat mass (r ...
