Defining structural robustness under seismic and simultaneous actions:an application to precast RC buildings [PDF]
The increasing complexity of urban systems is making robustness a crucial requirement for structural design. The paper deals with the concept of robustness of civil structures against extreme events. After a brief literature survey, a novel point of view

ABSTRACT Premature physeal closure occurs following trauma, cancer, or infection. Current treatments have poor success rates. With recent pediatric donor tissue availability, physeal allograft transfer (PAT) can now be considered. The purpose of this study was to study the safety and feasibility of PAT in a large animal model.

Strut-tie method of design and possible serviceability problems: an exploration by NLFE [PDF]
The strut and tie method presents a rational and consistent approach to the design of all parts in a reinforced concrete structure. With this approach, the load carrying mechanism of the structure is represented by approximating the compressive stress
