    Abstract: Fe-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (F-T NPs) were synthesized using the sol-gel method where different molar concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10%) of Iron (iii) nitrate were added to a constant amount of the metal precursor TetraisopropylOrthotitanate (TTIP) solution, the solvent precursor ethanol and refluxing agent diethanolamine at the ratios o...

    Abstract: The anchor system plays a very important part of the prestressed structure, that contacts and transmits force to the cables when stretching to create residual stress. The operating conditions of the anchor system in general and the anchor core in particular are extremely harsh. In this paper, ABAQUS software was applied to model and numerically sim... Show More
