We report the structural transformation of hexagonal Ba3YIr 2O9 to a cubic double perovskite form (stable in ambient conditions) under an applied pressure of 8 GPa at 1273 K. While the ambient pressure synthesized sample undergoes long-range magnetic order ...
Polyelectrolytes (PEL) and PEL complexes formed by electrostatic interaction are recognized as compounds with a remarkable potential for a wide field of applications. However, comprehensive knowledge about electrostatic and structural influences on the pol ...
Punching shear reinforcement is an efficient method to increase not only the strength but also the deformation capacity of flat slabs supported by columns. Especially, the increase in deformation capacity is desired so that the load can be distributed to o ...
During severe seismic events the base of unanchored steel liquid-storage tanks can uplift, causing large inelastic rotation demands at the shell-to-base connections and large multi-axial stresses (radial tension and circumferential compression) in the tank ...
Physical punching shear models such as the Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT), which is the basis of Model Code 2010 (MC 2010), describe generally the punching strength as a function of the slab deformation. Thus, the prediction of an accurate load-deforma ...
During severe seismic events the base of unanchored steel liquid-storage tanks can uplift, causing large inelastic rotation demands at the shell-to-base connections. With repeated cycles of uplift, these shell-to-base connections are susceptible to low-cyc ...
Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...
We report the synthesis, structure, and physical properties of single crystals of CePt2In7. Single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis confirms the tetragonal I4/mmm structure of CePt2In7 with unit cell parameters a = 4.5886(6) Å, c = 21.530(6) Å and V = 45 ...
We report the structural transformation of hexagonal Ba3YIr2O9 to a cubic double perovskite form (stable in ambient conditions) under an applied pressure of 8 GPa at 1273 K. While the ambient pressure synthesized sample undergoes long-range magnetic orderi ...
The results of tests on two continuous composite beams combining a reinforced concrete (RC) beam with a layer of reinforced ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (R-UHPFRC) are presented. The R-UHPFRC element acts both as a tensile membrane and ...
