The Cold War and Nepal''s Bilateral Connectivity Diplomacy
The chapter also examines how Cold War multilateralism influenced Nepal''s prioritization of connectivity projects and whether it facilitated or hindered bilateral connectivity initiatives.
Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members
Developing a representative analytical model for the behavior of cold joints requires a detailed understanding of interface shear mechanisms and a means to systemati-cally quantify the effects of
The Cold War and Nepal''s Bilateral Connectivity Diplomacy
Nepal viewed the Cold War as two levels of competition. At the inter-national level, the ideological competition was between the US-led capi-talist bloc and the Soviet Union-led communist bloc. At the
Quantitative assessment of the GLOF risk along China-Nepal
In this study, we present a comprehensive assessment of GLOF risk in the Poiqu-Bhotekoshi and Gyirong-Trishuli transboundary basins, which span between China and Nepal. We
Effects of cold joints on concrete mechanical properties and tunnel
To reveal their impacts on tunnel service performance, indoor tests and theoretical analysis are used to assess the mechanical properties of concrete with cold joints, including elastic
Cold Joints in Concrete Analysis | PDF | Science & Mathematics
The study includes experimental testing of reinforced concrete samples with cold joints introduced at different times, locations, and orientations. The experimental results are verified using finite element
Research on the types and characteristics of permafrost engineering
The corridor primarily comprises the China-Nepal Highway (CNH, an existing road) and the China-Nepal Railway (a planned railway). The area has a large topographic elevation difference,
A thermo-hygro computational model to determine the factors
13% for ∆W = 0.1 m. The presented model allows the user to verify and compare the time for cold joint formation for any wall-like structural geometry and provides a relative time to cold joint
Nepal and the Cold War: Responding to competition among global
Our article examines the Cold War through the eyes of Nepal, which chose to be impartial, independent, and non-aligned, and which remained unscathed. How was a small, isolated country able to define
(PDF) A thermo-hygro computational model to determine the factors
Here, we present a computational model that simulates the drying kinetics at the exposed structural surface, accounting for cement hydration and the resulting microstructural development.
A thermo-hygro computational model to determine the factors
Abstract Cold joints in extruded concrete structures form once the exposed surface of a deposited filament dries prematurely and gets sequentially covered by a layer of fresh concrete. This
Low Stress Level and Low Stress Amplitude Fatigue Loading
Concrete linings containing cold joint defects may crack or detach under the aerodynamic fatigue loading generated by high-speed train operation, which posing a serious threat
RM Agro Tech Blog: Building Cold Chain at Altitude: Design for Nepal
Building Cold Chain at Altitude: Design for Nepal''s Highlands and Remote Corridors Introduction Cold chain expansion in Nepal is reaching districts where monsoon closures, snowfall,
Nepal''s Agricultural Innovations: A Climate Adaptation Model
Nepal offers vital insights into climate adaptation through its hill and mountain agriculture. The country emphasizes climate-friendly farming, sustainable livestock, and advanced technologies.
Nepal''s Geopolitical Crossroads: Balancing China, India, and the
Additionally, China is disquieted by deepening bilateral cooperation between the United States and India, including shared Indo-Pacific interests and collaborative efforts to uplift Nepal''s
Analytical Method and Analysis of Cold-Joint Interface
Cold-joint interface behaviour analysis was performed by predicting the shear stress and slippage values using the proposed analytical method, by building a numerical model and employing
Seismic performance evaluation and strengthening of RC beam
Beam-column joints are a crucial component of the reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frame (MRF) as the behavior of the joints significantly influences the strength and ductility of
