Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

EDHF The Complete Story

EDHF The Complete Story

The advances made in vascular biology in the last 25 years have considerably changed the perception that one could have of the endothelial cells. Once considered as a diffusion barrier preventing the access of the blood cells to the vascular matrix the endothelium is now recognized as playing a major role in the control of blood fluidity platelet aggregation and vascular tone but also in immunology inflammation angiogenesis and for serving as a metabolizing and an endocrine organ. from the prefaceCardiovascular diseases so prevalent in the Western world during the twentieth century could well become the scourge of the twenty-first century in emerging countries as well as the West. Endothelial dysfunction linked to an imbalance in the synthesis and/or release of contracting and relaxing factors is often evoked to explain the initiation of the cardiovascular pathology or its development and perpetuation. Two decades ago when nitric oxide was demonstrated to mediate endothelium-dependent relaxations the vascular world seemed convinced that nitric oxide was the ultimate and sole explanation for such relaxations. However not everyone agreed. EDHF: The Complete Story is the work of two leading researchers who did not accept that simple conclusion but instead continued to search along with others for a deeper understanding of the ways in which endothelial cells communicate with the underlying smooth muscle to signal it to hyperpolarize. Now with most if not all of those ways uncovered the authors offer this summary as way of bringing closure to the quest. This monograph reports on the work of many researchers. It summarizes the significant recent discoveries concerning endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizations which are likely to play a much more important role in cardiovascular physiology and pathology than was originally foreseenExtensively illustrated with original diagrams and schematics that su | EDHF The Complete Story
