Radiogenic heat production as an indicator for geothermal energy exploration in Kurdistan Region, Iraq

The apportionment of naturally occurring radionuclides ( 238 U, 232 Th, and 40 K) within granite samples supplies essential data related to heat generation and thermal properties of the crust. Radiogenic heat production (RHP) was estimated in this work for granite rocks gathered...

Behavior and shear strength of FRC beams with FRP bars: state-of-the-art review, comparative analysis, experimental and numerical validations

Abstract The present study provides an integrated approach to the shear behavior and strength prediction of FRC beams reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). For this purpose, a database consisting of 68 beam test results in the literature for the assessment of 10 existin...
