Wind turbine (WT) foundations are generally subjected to large combined vertical, horizontal, moment, and torsional (VHMT) loads. The available investigations of the ultimate limit states WT focus predominately on unlimited-tension soil-foundation interfaces that more appropriate for offshore settings. However, onshore unable resist tensile To address this omission, a zero-tension interface is ...

Understanding the mechanical behavior of materials in working conditions is a current problem transport industries. In this article, we demonstrate why temperature and strain-rate are first-order parameters when studying polymeric cellular with glass transition T $$_g$$ temperatures. Compressive tests quasi-static until 0.5 hencky strain were conducted at several temperatures on agglomerated co...

limit to the tension reinforcement ratio in flexural high strength reinforced concrete (hsrc) members isbased on the requirement that tension failure as sufficient rotation capacity are ensured at ultimate limit state.however, the provisions for the total amount of longitudinal reinforcement ratio ( and ) are not associated withany rational derivation. in this paper, a quantitative measure to e...

limit to the tension reinforcement ratio ( ρ) in flexural high strength reinforced concrete (hsrc) members is based on the requirement that tension failure as sufficient rotation capacity are ensured at ultimate limit state. however, the provisions for the total amount of longitudinal reinforcement ratio ( ρ and ρ’) are not associated with any rational derivation. in this paper, a quantitative ...
