An experimental study and a proposed theoretical solution for the prediction of the ductile/brittle failure modes of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with external steel plates

An experimental study is conducted and a theoretical solution is proposed in the present study to investigate the ductile/brittle failure mode of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with an external steel plate.In the present 4 Piece Entertainment Unit with Fireplace experimental study, 6 steel plate-strengthened RC beams and 1 non-strength

Power, Struggle and State Crime: Researching through Resistance

Following the commission of state crimes, state officials are in the privileged position of being able to mobilize significant resources to conceal their activities.Laying siege Pop to the fortifications which facilitate denial is a difficult, often dangerous process that can, in general, only be mounted by movements of resistance.Consequently, gen

Nonperiodic Oscillation With Wavelength of Mode Guided in a Special Ti-Diffused $hbox{LiNbO}_{3}$ Waveguide Structure

We report an abnormal waveguiding phenomenon that the fundamental mode guided in strip waveguides of a special Ti-diffused LiNbO3 waveguide structure, in Diagnostic Kits which an array of 4and 6-μm-wide strip waveguides is embedded in a planar waveguide, nonperiodically oscillates with the wavelength along the waveguide width direction.The o
