Effective depth-of-penetration range due to hardness variation for different lots of nominally identical target material
Abstract The effect of small variations of target hardness on the depth of penetration for nominally identical target material has not been addressed systematically in publications yet and is often neglected. An investigation of this issue for...

The Influence of Concrete Composition on Young's Modulus
Abstract This paper presents a dynamic method of concrete testing using Young's modulus. The advantages of the method are compared with the static method and the possibilities of application in practice are discussed. The procedure for concrete...

Maintaining Ductile Behavior of Steel Frame in Accidental Situation by Control the Catenary Action with Horizontal Restrains Parameters
Abstract If a building is attacked in accidental situation, professional documents assign the catenary action as the solution to maintain it, prevent the progressive collapse. In fact, the building is expected could acting in ductile behavior, going ...
