The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...

This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM ...

Exiting literature revealed that fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) is a promising material for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, most of the available experimental ...

The equilibrium constant for the formation of carbamate in 3-amino-1-propanol-CO2-H2O system was evaluated at different CO2 loadings, different temperature values, and different amine protonation constant. The studied ...

A noble cause motivated the interest to carry out research work on an inexpensive strengthening technique using ferrocement for reinforced concrete beams applicable in developing countries. Ferrocement as an inexpensive ...

This paper constitutes a special importance for developing countries where an affordable trowel-based strengthening system is needed. This paper also provides an affordable strengthening solution when it is not possible ...

This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...

This research aims at creating precise finite element models for FRP shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behaviour of the shear strengthened beams requires ...

The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) was investigated. Fourteen unstrengthened and strengthened beams were tested in flexure under ...

This paper presents an extension of the Pipe-in-Pipe (PiP) model for calculating vibrations from underground railways that allows for the incorporation of a multi-layered half-space geometry. The model is based on the ...
