...Mingzhi Lu; Yixing Ding; Qingqiang Lu; Bo Gao; Leigang Wang; Kexin Hao; Yanmin Jia Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the current durability and shear behavior of a reinforced concrete beam that has been used for 20 years in a seasonally frozen area, evaluate its existing service...

... to include mean stress effect in stress-based approach. Fatigue life Durability Finite element analysis Coil spring Strain load Coil spring experiences vertical axial loading at the mounting during their service that results in tension-compression force. The helical coil spring shape...

... are cited, as well as recommendations that have already been successfully applied in some countries. Design/methodology/approach This study aims to discuss the issues associated with short-lived structuring, durability and obsolescence of contemporary structures. For this purpose, theoretical...

... does not produce new products when it is formed and cured in seawater. Originality/value In this paper, underwater non-dispersible concrete is formed and maintained on land, freshwater and seawater by underwater pouring method. The working performance, mechanical properties and durability...

...Salvinder Singh; Shahrum Abdullah Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the durability analysis in predicting the reliability life cycle for an automobile crankshaft under random stress load using the stochastic process. Due to the limitations associated with the actual loading history...
