SILICONE STRUCTURAL GLAZING UNDER BLAST LOADING

Silicone Structural Glazing Under Blast Loading

Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants Bench at the typically higher strain rate

Creep strains on reinforced concrete columns

A concrete element when kept under sustained load presents progressive strain over time, associated to the creep.In Sponges reinforced concrete columns, such deformations cause the stress increase in the steel bars of the reinforcement and may induce the material to undergo the yielding phenomenon.The pioneering formulations about the creep effect,

Black Holes and Wormholes in Extended Gravity

We discuss black hole type solutions and wormhole type ones in the effective gravity models.Such models appear during the attempts to construct the quantum theory of gravity.The mentioned solutions, being, mostly, the perturbative generalisations of well-known Globe ones in general relativity, carry out additional set of parameters and, therefore c
