Reinforcement in concrete piles embedded in sand by Salman, F.A., Mohammed, M.M., Shirazi, S.M., Jameel, Mohammed

“…It is concluded that for piles embedded in sand, a length of reinforcement not less than 40 of pile length for bored piles and 20 for driven piles is needed.…”

A new technique for driven piles instrumentation by Ali, F.H., Lee, S.K.

“…Currently, strain gauges are normally used to monitor the strain development in the pile during static pile load test. For concrete spun pile, the technique used either by incorporating high temperature-resistant strain gauges into the heat-cured production process of the spun piles or by installing an instrumented steel pipe into the hollow core of the spun piles followed by cement grout infilling. …”

Numerical investigation on reinforcement requirement for piles embedded in clay by Salman, F.A., Fattah, M.Y., Mohammed, M.M., Hashim, Roslan

“…It is concluded that for piles embedded in clay, a length of reinforcement not less than one-half the pile length is needed. …”

Queen-queen competition and reproductive skew in a cardiocondyla ant by Hashim, Rosli, Heinze, J., Yamauchi, K., Ishida, Y.

“…Division of reproduction was associated with variation in the location of queens close to or away from the center of the brood pile, which again appeared to be caused by queen-queen antagonism.…”

A review of survivability and remedial actions of tidal current turbines by Chen, L., Lam, Wei-Haur

“…Support structures are discussed including gravity base, monopile, tripod/piled jacket and floating structure. Extreme weather increases the wave height and current speed to produce high loading at the turbine. …”

Synthesis and characterization of poly(N-methylpyrrole)/TiO2 composites on steel by Mahmoudian, M.R., Alias, Y., Basirun, Wan Jefrey

“…The FESEM micrographs suggest that the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles affects the morphology of the film significantly and makes the TiO2 to be loosely piled up with PMPy. The results of EIS showed that synthesized PMPy in the presence of TiO2 NPs increases and decreases the R-po and C-c of the coating respectively. …”

Severe sink-in occurrence in thermally sprayed hydroxyapatite coating by Saber-Samandari, Saeed, Baradaran, Saeid, Nasiri-Tabrizi, Bahman, Alamara, Kadhim, Basirun, Wan Jefrey

“…After the load-unload indentation experiment, a clear severe sink-in deformation feature was observed around the residual indentation impression of the amorphous part. In contrast, pile-up only occurs during loading for the crystalline part of the coating. …”

Empirical model for Darrieus-type tidal current turbine induced seabed scour by Sun, Chong, Lam, Wei Haur, Cui, Yonggang, Zhang, Tianming, Jiang, Jinxin, Guo, Jianhua, Ma, Yanbo, Wang, Shuguang, Tan, Teng Hwang, Chuah, Joon Huang, Lam, Su Shiung, Hamill, Gerard

“…The current experimental results propose that the maximum scour depth is about 80% deeper than scour depth around single pile. The maximum scour depth increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of rotor radius. …”

Particle suspension in the turbulent regime: the effect of impeller type and impeller/vessel configuration by Ibrahim, S., Nienow, A.W.

“…Under these conditions, the main flow pattern was such that the piles of solids associated with the regions of flow reversal at the periphery and of the centre of the base were both removed at about the same speed. …”
