An Experimental Study on the Performance of Fixed-End Supported PFRP Channel Beams under Flexure Jaksada Thumrongvut 1,a and Sittichai Seangatith 2,b 1 Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Rajamangala University of Technology Isan, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000, THAILAND. 2 School of Civil Engineering, Institute of Engineering, Suranaree University of Technology, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000, THAILAND.
Introduction Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite materials are widely used in the fields of civil engineering applications, especially in new structural construction, and in the rehabilitation and strengthening of deficient structures [1,2].
Over the past two decades, the usages of the PFRP structural profiles have been significantly increased into the civil engineering constructions due to the material characteristics and economic advantages over the conventional materials such as steel and reinforced concrete.
The research and development of all PFRP structures in civil engineering have progressed considerably in several countries.

A novel process simulation study of coalbed methane enrichment by solvent Zirun Xuan1,a, Zhiyuan Yang*1,b, Dechao Wang1,c, Sitong Wang1,d, Shuijing Cao1,e 1 College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an 710054, P.R.
When feeding methane concentration increased to more than 50%, it can be enriched to more than 80%, which is suitable for the CBM civil and industrial utilization value.
Besides being civil gas, it can be used as the basic chemical products materials [1].
Table 1 The enrichment effect of different feed ratios of CH4/N2 CH4:N2 Purity % Recovery % CH4:N2 Purity % Recovery% CH4:N2 Purity % Recovery % 1:9 33.37 76.40 4:6 76.48 90.62 7:3 91.33 96.76 2:8 54.08 82.45 5:5 82.89 93.21 8:2 94.22 97.92 3:7 67.44 87.11 6:4 87.66 95.22 9:1 96.58 98.87 It can be seen from the above table the purity and recovery of the enrichment product increased with the concentration of methane in the raw material increased, and when the concentration of methane in the feed is more than 50%, the concentration could rise to cover 80% which can produce civil and economic value.
(3) The optimal feed ratio of CH4/N2 is 3:7, and when the methane concentration in the feed increased to more than 50%, it can be concentrated to more than 80% which meet the CBM civil and industrial utilization value.

Ceramic materials such as bricks and tiles used in civil construction, may eventually be exposed to weather conditions and undergo degradation with time.
Introduction Conventional ceramic materials used in civil construction such as bricks and tiles are fabricated in the northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro at relatively lower temperatures.
The experiments were conducted in the Laboratory of Civil Engineering, LECIV, belonging to the Center of Science and Technology, CCT, of the State University of the Northern Rio de Janeiro, UENF, at Campos dos Goytacazes.
