Experimental and analytical investigation of high performance concrete columns at elevated temperatures by Du, Panwei

“…The comparison with test results showed that the proposed model could capture well the mid-height deflections of RC columns at both ambient and elevated temperatures. Moreover, accurate and conservative predictions were achieved on peak loads at ambient temperature with a mean value of 0.96 and a COV of 0.13, and fire resistance at elevated temperatures with a mean value of 0.97 and a COV of 0.19. …”

Consistent strut-and-tie modelling of deep and short beams and hollow-core slabs at ambient and elevated temperatures by Fan, Shengxin

“…To achieve the research objectives, two series of tests are conducted on seven short beams and six deep beams under elevated temperatures. The first series is to investigate experimentally the effects of a/d ratio and thermal-induced axial restraint on structural fire behaviour of short beams, while Series II was for unsymmetrically-loaded RC deep beams at elevated temperatures. …”

Dynamics of quantum gas in non-abelian gauge field by Hasan, Mehedi

“…After performing optical pumping to one of the Zeeman states of the hyper ne ground-state, while atoms are inside the dipole trap, we have cooled down the strontium-87 atoms via evaporativ cooling and the gas enters the quantum regime at a T/T_F = 0.21(4), with Temperature T and Fermi temperature T_F. As the temperature of the gas (40-50 nK) is far below the recoil temperature(230 nK) of the atoms, we have performed experiments with the wave packet that reveals the envisaged Zitterbewegung effect. …”
