Twenty seven T-beams were cast and tested, the variables were the shear span to effective depth ratio (1, 2 and 3) , the RCA replacement ratio (0% ,50% and 75%) and the amount of web reinforcement. The beams were tested under four-point load condition. During the test, the values of the first crack load and the ultimate load were observed as well as the deformation of the beams. \u0000The experimental results indicated that when increasing the RCA replacement ratio to 50%, the first cracking load and the ultimate load reduced by an average of 30% and 6% respectively. When the RCA replacement ratio was 75%, the first cracking load and the ultimate load reduced by 31.6% and 9.4% respectively. It can be observed that, at the load 500kN, T-beams with the higher replacement ratio of RCA exhibited slightly higher deflection. Also the first cracking load and the ultimate load decreased with the increase of (a/d) ratio. The presence of web reinforcement causes an increase of about 16% in cracking load. This increase seems to be independent of a/d ratio and the RCA replacement ratio. The average increase in ultimate loads were 4.4% , 18.9% and 28.4% for a/d ratio of 1, 2 and 3 respectively.The presence of web reinforcement slightly reduced the measured deflection and crack width, and its effect was more for the lower stirrup spacing.","PeriodicalId":23465,"journal":{"name":"University of Thi-Qar Journal","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88166718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study demonstrates that a reliable, non-invasive sex determination can be achieved by PCR analysis of maternal serum during the first trimester of pregnancy. In contrary to the risks of invasive methods that affect both mother and fetus, applying cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is proven highly effective with lower risk. One of the applications of prenatal diagnosis is fetal gender determination, which is important in fetuses at risk of sex-linked genetic diseases. In such cases by obtaining the basic information of the gender, necessary time management can be taken in therapeutic to significantly reduce the necessity of applying the invasive methods. The aim of this study was to use simple multiplex PCR protocol of fetal gender at early stage of gestation applying a multiplex PCR amplification of the ATL 1 locus in the FMR1 gene located on the long arm of X-chromosome5 and the Y-chromosome-specific sequence.
