One of the biggest demand of growing population, and cornerstone of the socio-economical growth of Nations, Energy is expected today to be Sustainable, Easy to Reach, Economical, and Continuous. As one of the most common ...

The transmission of vertical or horizontal structural forces to the supporting soil is a challenge to analyze for structures on elastic foundation which represent a complex medium. The two-parameter elastic foundation model ...

Assessment of concrete strength in existing structures is a common engineering problem. Several attempts in the literature showed the potential of ML methods for predicting concrete strength using concrete properties and ...

In the reinforced concrete, masonry or steel structures should be strengthened or repaired. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widely used for the last 20 years for repairing and strengthening of inadequate ...

Mechanical and elastic behaviors of anisotropic materials are investigated in an innovative way. This is based on generalized Hill inequalities. From different type of anisotropic elastic symmetries, numerical examples ...

Objectives: This descriptive study aims to examine the relationship between the safety awareness of healthcare professional and their safety behaviors. Methods: The study was carried out on 418 healthcare professionals ...

The present study aimed to search for chicken abdominal fat deposition-related polymorphisms within RB1 and to provide functional evidence for significantly associated genetic variants. Association analyses showed that 11 ...

The drastic increase in environmental concerns and increasing costs of road construction materials necessitate evaluating some alternative solutions. One of the most suitable alternatives is recycling old asphalt pavement ...

Steel bridge beams can be damaged due to increased traffic loads and environmental impacts. An experimental study on the use of bonded and mechanically anchored carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips was undertaken ...
