Integrated structural health monitoring of highway bridges in Singapore by Tjin, Swee Chuan, Pan, Tso Chien, Ngo, John Quoc Nam, Rupali Suresh, Zheng, Ruitao, Liu, Duan, Leong, Chee Lai

“…The FBG strain sensors were calibrated by mounting them onto the surface of a reinforcement rebar alongside the electrical strain gauges, and excellent linearity (which is an important desirable feature) of the output response of the FBG strain sensor against the input applied load was observed. …”

Effects of infilled wall opening on load resisting capacity of RC frames to mitigate progressive collapse risk by Qian, Kai, Lan, Dong-Qiu, Fu, Feng, Li, Bing

“…Moreover, the infilled walls with or without openings may change the position of rebar fracture of the beams. Thus, it was incorrect to simplify multi-story infilled frames into single-story substructures.…”

Performance of pulsed plasma thrusters by Loh, Kelvin Kwong Lam.

“…The results show that the slug model relates the best amongst the three models to the experimental data within 20% of the impulse bit at pressure levels greater than 5 mbar. This suggests that the auto-initiation PPT operates using a slug mode of operation. …”

Reinforced concrete column design for minimal embodied carbon emissions by Siddiq Amsyar Bin Shalan

“…In this study, total embodied carbon generated by stocky columns undergoing two different types of failure (i.e., pure axial failure and balanced failure condition) were calculated by varying several column design parameters such as concrete strengths, rebar ratio as well as applied loadings and moments. …”

Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…The best-fitting model consists of a scattering cloud between 2 and 3 bar, and a scattering haze layer which can be placed anywhere between 10 and 500 mbar. The composition is still poorly constrained for both the deep cloud and haze layer. …”

Improved performance of gravity-driven membrane filtration for seawater pretreatment: Implications of membrane module configuration by Tan, Hwee Sin, Hochstrasser, Florian, Wu, Bing, Christen, Tino, Suwarno, Stanislaus Raditya, Liu, Xin, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Burkhardt, Michael, Pronk, Wouter, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…In this study, a pilot submerged GDM reactor (effective volume of 720 L) was operated over 250 days and the permeate flux stabilized at 18.6 ± 1.4 L/m2h at a hydrostatic pressure of 40 mbar. This flux was higher than those in the lab-scale GDM reactor (16.3 ± 0.2 L/m2h; effective volume of 8.4 L) and in the filtration cell system (2.7 ± 0.6 L/m2h; feed side volume of 0.0046 L) when the same flat sheet membrane was used. …”

Analysis and design recommendations for structures strengthened by prestressed bonded Fe-SMA by Li, Lingzhen, Wang, Sizhe, Chatzi, Eleni, Motavalli, Masoud, Ghafoori, Elyas

“…The asymmetric strengthening model is then modified to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by embedded Fe-SMA rebars. Recovery stress at different activation temperatures, the influence of the activation temperature on the adhesive bond, as well as the prestress loss resulting from the deformation of substrate elements and adhesive joints are taken into account. …”
