The likelihood of branch union failure often needs to be assessed in tree risk assessment. Most the guidance used practice is based on shape these forks, specifically (“U” or “V”), angle between branches, presence lateral bulges, and aspect ratio branches. This study extends previous studies with a novel approach biomechanical analysis fork contributes results from destructive tests two importa...

The purpose of this paper is to use static and dynamic load tests evaluate the mechanical performance a simply supported skew slab bridge its actual bearing capacity. Firstly, Midas Civil software used for theoretical simulation, secondly, deflection, strain, response key section are studied through tests. Finally, measured values compared analyzed. results show that: under load, relative resid...

The NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Program Office plays a key part in helping NASA maintain this important role. The NASA STI Program Office is operated by Langley Research Center, the Lead Center for NASA's scientific and technical information. The NASA STI Program Office provides ...

Having in mind the topic of industrialised construction and benefits modular construction, sandwich panels are investigated to be utilised as load-bearing wall elements. To assess its full potential, present paper tackles linear elastic buckling response axially loaded angle panels, by means numerical analytical calculations, upper bound load bearing capacity. The failures modes obtained framed...

in reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete elements. in this study, the shear transfer behavior of reinforced concrete is investigated experimentally by conducting test on 6 precracked p...
