    Abstract: Self compacting concrete (SCC) is compacting itself alone due to its self-weight and is filled almost completely while flowing in the formwork. In structural members with high percentage of reinforcement ,it fills also completely all voids and gaps. The purpose of presented research is to investigate, the fresh properties of Steel Fiber SCC and the... Show More

    Abstract: Researches on behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to torsion including mechanical properties like cracks and failure modes are not commonly studied and investigated well. It is necessary to investigate the mechanical properties and characteristics for RC columns subjected to torsion during different types of loading including ear... Show More

    Abstract: Generally, river flow can be schematized as compound meandering channel in which the longitudinal velocity distributions in the crossover and bend section are completely different and quite intricate. Engineers, Planners and Researchers are highly interested in predicting accurately as well as estimating quantitatively and reliably the longitudinal... Show More

    Abstract: In most practical situations, the pile either include circular or rectangular cross-section. The pile with circular cross-sectional shape usually analyzed in previous studies and little for the second type. While, no studies included comparison between those common types to understand and recommend which is batter for case of deep foundations. Ther... Show More
