PVA fiber is a synthetic polymer identified by high hydrophilicity, moderate modulus of flexibility, and strong interfacial ...

Developed by materials expert Gilles Koolen, former coordinator of the Alliance’s Scientific Council, and Vanacker, a 3rd ...

As there are currently very few relevant studies on the addition of SGFs as reinforcement and the amount of fiber to be used as reinforcement, the experimental study focused on the development of 1.75 ...

Column Axial-Flexural Capacities: “Based on our analysis, 24 columns were overstressed for combined axial and flexural loading and thus are not strictly code-compliant. Only 8 of those columns ...

Andrew Barto and Richard Sutton developed reinforcement learning, a technique vital to chatbots like ChatGPT. By Cade Metz Reporting from San Francisco In 1977, Andrew Barto, as a researcher at ...

This paper investigates the engineering properties of concrete produced with lateritic aggregate (LA) as the coarse aggregate replacement and coconut husk fibre (CHF) as reinforcement. Natural stone ...

In a recent article published in the Journal of Engineering and Applied Science, researchers investigated the flexural behavior of crushed clay brick lightweight concrete (LWC) beams strengthened with ...

To improve the mechanical performance of carbon fiber (CF)/epoxy composites in high-temperature environments, a moderately modulus gradient modulus interlayer was constructed at the interface phase ...

The details of the flexural reinforcement are shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 Detailing of the flexural reinforcement. Conventional studs make it difficult to position bending and shear reinforcement with ...
