A Finite Element Approach to Evaluate and Predict the Shear Capacity of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams by Laith N. Hussain, Mohammed J. Hamood, Ehsan A. Al-Shaarbaf

“…A comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon is essential to evaluate engineering designs accurately. The shear capacity of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams is affected by many parameters, such as the ratio of the shear span to the effective depth of the SFRC beam, the compressive strength of concrete, the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, volume fraction, aspect ratio, and the type of fibers. …”

Application of Artificial Neural Networks for Seismic Analysis and Design of Buried Pipelines in Heterogeneous Soils by Amin Karamy Moghadam, Mehdi Mahdavi Adeli

“…Safeguarding urban and interurban facilities, including electricity, water supply, oil and gas transmission lines, against these loads requires careful studies and engineering designs. Given that traditional methods for seismic design of pipelines such as FEM modeling and experimental methods are so expensive, a new combined method for predicting the strain of pipes based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed. …”

Nano-Fe mediated treatment of real hydraulic fracturing flowback and its practical implication on membrane fouling in tandem anaerobic-oxic membrane bioreactor by Abass, Olusegun K., Zhang, Kaisong

“…Additional evidences from microscopic/spectroscopic analysis of the FAMBR membrane system revealed that despite having a promising outlook, mediation of nano-Fe with AMBR system might result in a major fouling event during HFF treatment. Engineered design of nano-Fe to reduced leached nano-Fe ions in pre-treatment step prior to AMBR treatment system may be of potential research consideration.…”
