Fig. 5 shows the monotonic and cyclic stress-strain responses of selected specimens having all influential parameters considered in this study, such as the volumetric ratio of transverse steel reinforcement, number of CFRP layers, and aspect ratio. In this figure, the axial stress was calculated by dividing the axial load to the column cross-sectional area, and the corresponding axial strain was derived from the average readings of the four LVDTs divided by the central gauge length of each…

It did seem ---” I cut him off right there. “Thanks,” I dashed off, without giving him a chance to say anymore. Using my less than superior logic, I dashed to terminal C. If my cousin…

The leaves crunched under my black converse as I walked through the nature trail. It was a crisp fall day, too cold for short sleeves, but too warm for a heavy coat. It was Sunday afternoon, and I was trying to escape my duties at home by telling my mom I needed to get outside on such a beautiful day. I sat down on the bridge and looked down at the shining river. The water was twenty feet below me and looked about fifteen to twenty feet deep. The large trees surrounding the river had just…

wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore, the lifeguard yelled, “WE ARE HERE!” I jumped out of my seat and went to grab snorkeling gear for me and Christina. Christina pretended not to hear the lifeguard and continued reading. The lifeguard passed out life jackets for us to put on.
