In this study, the effectiveness and efficiency of two different techniques for strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) was investigated i.e.; (i) by sand blasting RC beams surfaces and casting UHPFRC in-situ around the beams inside a mold and (ii) by bonding prefabricated UHPFRC strips to the RC beams using epoxy adhesive. Beams...
This paper presents the design and implementation of the computationally intensive Smith Waterman and Needleman-Wunsch algorithms on the Virtex-5 (XC5VLX110) FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). A parameterisable architecture of the processing element (PE) for the pairwise biological sequence analysis is presented. We evaluate our core's performance in terms of speed up performance and normalised...
With increasing price-hike for copper and its vulnerability to theft, there is some concern to telecommunications, utility company and building contractors to find an alternative material to copper as a grounding network. It has been known that galvanized iron is one type of steel that has been used extensively as a strengthener in pole construction, especially in Malaysia. Because of its electrical...
