This paper addresses the tensile and flexural strength of HPC (high performance concrete).The aim of the paper is to analyse the efficiency of models proposed in different codes.In particular, three design procedures from: the ACI 318 [1], Eurocode 2 [2] and the Model Code 2010 [3] are considered.The associations between design tensile strength of
We demonstrate the controlled spatiotemporal transfer of transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to electromagnetic waves: the spatiotemporal torquing of GLA SKIN OIL (BORAGE OIL) light.This is a radically different situation from OAM transfer to longitudinal, spatially defined OAM light by stationary or slowly varying refractive-index structures
The combination of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) and intensive occupational therapy (iOT) has been shown to ameliorate upper limb hemiparesis in patients with chronic subcortical stroke.However, the neural mechanisms underlying its efficacy are poorly understood.Our aim was to examine the cortical reorganizati
Ecological suitability evaluation is an important prerequisite for Creepy Crawlers rational distribution of tourism.Take Xi’an as an example, selecting six factors as evaluation indexes: elevation, slope, vegetation coverage, river, landscape quality and traffic.After using RS, GIS techniques and resorting to factor weighted super-position method
In Morocco, as in all world countries, deteriorating road conditions, increasing traffic loads, and decreasing funds have presented a complex management challenge for the road maintenance and rehabilitation process.Hence the need to assess the condition of the pavement network, decide on maintenance strategies, set rehabilitation priorities and imp
