It is more preferable, both ecological and economical to upgrade bridges rather than demolish and rebuild. The deterioration of the environmental influences and traffic loads bridges requires rehabilitation and renewal programs to maintain even current service levels on the bridge infrastructure network. There is an increased demand for high durability, long life, reduced costs of maintenance and optimization cost / performance. Advanced composite systems have now become a viable method to strengthen the existing bridges in the world. This arti ....etc

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of experimental studies concerning the flexural strengthening of RC beams using externally bonded Slurry Infiltrated Mat CONcrete (SIMCON) laminates. A total of four reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested in the laboratory over an effective span of 3000 mm. Three beams were strengthened with bonded SIMCON laminate at the bottom under virgin condition and tested until failure; the remaining one beam was used as control specimen. Static responses of all the beams we ....etc

Deep beams are structural members loaded as simple beams in which a significant amount of the load is carried to the supports by a compressive force that combines the charge and the reaction. As a result, the strain distribution is no longer considered linear, and the shear deformations become significant in comparison with pure bending.

Horizontal load-bearing floor slabs, short-section beams carrying heavy loads and transfer beams are examples of deep beams. The deep beam is a beam having a large depth / thickness ratio and a depth ratio o ....etc

Reinforced concrete structures often have to face modification and improvement of their performance during their service life. The main contributing factors are change in their use of ,new design standards, deterioration due to corrosion in the steel caused by exposure to an aggressive environment and accident events such as earthquakes .In such circumstances there are two possible solutions: replacement or retrofitting.
Retrofitting of flexural concrete elements are traditionally ac ....etc

Construction material subjected to repetitive or cyclic loading have to be qualified for their fatigue behaviour. Generally their behaviour is considered satisfactory if they withstand two million cycle of repetitive loading without distress or failure at that required mean stress level and range stress.
The recent research in reinforcing Portland cement based material with randomly distributed fibres was spurred by pioneering research or fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) conducted in the United state in the 1960s.The addition of fibre in the co ....etc

The CoQUOS Approach to Continuous Queries in Unstructured Overlays



INTRODUCTION

UNSTRUCTURED peer-to-peer (P2P)-based
content/resource sharing platforms such as
Gnutella and Kazaa have experienced tremendous
growths in the past decade. The popularity of
unstructured P2P networks can be attributed to
the simplicity of their designs and their exibility
towards transient node population. Searching in these
networks is essentially performed by circulating query
