Effect of the location of broken wire wraps on the failure pressure of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes
Published 2015“…Two classes of 2.44 m embedded cylinder pipe (ECP) were modelled with 5, 35, 70, and 100 wire wrap breaks. The results show that broken wire wraps at the joint, and especially the spigot joint, decrease the overall strength of PCCP more so than those at the bell joint or in the barrel of the pipe. …”

Improving Emergency Response Communication In Race Circuits
Published 2011“…As a fact, the use of communication over radio connection (walkie-talkie) makes great challenge in interpreting reports sent by responders since the noise and different accents in responders’ crews, which might encounter great threat and delay in response time.Furthermore, cameras blind spots and angles might decrease the certainty of the incident scene. In contrast, the proposed emergency response communication system deploys wireless network aside with handheld devices and all other circuit technologies to send or receive instant messages between the control unit and the responders. …”
