Finite Element Simulation of FRP-Strengthened Thin RC Slabs by Assad, Maha

“…A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model is created to simulate the response of strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under a four-point bending test. The numerical model results in terms of load-deflection behavior, and ultimate loads are verified using previously published experimental data in the literature. …”

Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using CFRP Wraps by Mhanna, Haya H.

“…In addition, a control T-beam and two rectangular beams were cast and tested as benchmark specimens. The experimental test results showed that the beam strengthened by U-Wrapped CFRP sheets increased the control beam’s shear strength by 114.82%, while the increase in shear capacity of the completely wrapped equivalent WBR1 and WBR2 beams over their control unstrengthened specimens was 69.28% and 201.63%, respectively. …”

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24·1% (21·4–27·1) in men and 20·1% (17·8–22·5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. …”
