Performance of joint Iterative detection and decoding in coherent optical channels
(2015)
We show that a joint iterative detection and decoding algorithm compensates
phase noise and laser frequency fluctuations in a 100 Gb/s coherent optical receiver with
non-differential 16-QAM modulation, achieving 1 dB ...
Presence of asbestiform minerals in lightweight concretes. Their environmental impact
(2015)
Lightweight concrete has a lower unit weight than conventional concrete and a high
thermal insulation capacity. It is manufactured with either natural or artificial lightweight
aggregates. Vermiculite, one of the natural ...
Modeling of the small strain shear modulus on a fiber reinforced sand
(2015)
The mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced soils has been extensively
studied in the last decades. Previous studies have shown that inclusion of fibers
increases the shear strength of the reinforced soil. However in ...
Post-grouted drilled shaft behavior
(2015)
Using post grouted cells at the tip of the piles form part of recommendations of construction application in several countries. The effect of this practice is valued ranging from a simple construction standard for improving ...
Inherent anisotropy of an undisturbed and compacted loess soil
(2015)
This work discusses the result of an experimental study on inherent
anisotropy of the loess soil found at Córdoba, Argentina. A cubical true triaxial
device provided with flexible boundaries was used and the samples were ...
