TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a research project to study the seismic resistance of FRP strengthened reinforced concrete columns after fire exposure, including temperatures measured during the test and a discussion of the loads applied to the columns.
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project to study the seismic resistance of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened concrete members after fire exposure. Specifically, the paper presents results of FRP strengthened reinforced concrete columns exposed to a standard fire including temperatures measured during the test and a discussion of the loads applied to the columns. Finally, the paper also presents the impact of lateral loading on structural columns after fire to assess the effectiveness of structural resistance of fire-damaged FRP strengthened building elements in case of an earthquake. Numerical models to simulate the lateral behaviour are presented and the predictions are compared to the test results. Since the FRP strengthened columns were insulated with fire protection, the lateral load resistance of the unstrengthened column was reduced by less than 5% due to fire exposure.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model that quantifies the relationship between coral photosynthesis and growth potential under varying turbidity-driven light regimes is presented, which can be used to identify least risk scenarios for dredging operations as a means of both conserving coral reefs as well as ensuring cost-effective management practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of definitions for all the parameters involved in the slurry circuit and compare different calculation approaches on the basis of the unified definitions, during situations such as a face collapse, calibration error of sensors, water inflows or compressed air interventions.

TL;DR: In this article, two-direction methods for finding traffic equilibria are introduced, in which two directions are followed alternately instead of just one repeatedly, and it is shown that, away from equilibrium and under natural standard conditions, one of the two directions certainly reduces a natural measure of disequilibrium.
Abstract: The estimation of equilibria within variable demand transport models is a central requirement for the assessment of transport proposals. Currently, given a transport model, the process of finding equilibria invariably now involves following a single search direction within the model repeatedly; aiming to reduce a measure of disequilibirium to approximately zero. This paper introduces two-direction methods for finding traffic equilibria; in these methods two directions are followed alternately instead of just one repeatedly. For each two-direction method described it is shown that, away from equilibrium and under natural standard conditions, one of the two directions certainly reduces a natural measure of disequilibrium. The paper also gives a counterexample showing that under these same natural conditions the search direction utilized is an algorithm called algorithm 1 is not guaranteed to reduce the degree of disequilibrium.
