Open-ended projects opened up — aspects of openness [PDF]

2017 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2017
One of the most important areas of competence for professional engineers is the ability to function well in project work, in particular they need to be able to efficiently solve open-ended problems in different collaborative settings. The development of this ability is however not prominent in engineering education despite numerous authors suggesting ...

Experimental Assessment of Wind Loads on Roof-to-Wall Connections for Residential Buildings

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
Wind hazards are one of the most disastrous events that frequently occur in the United States. Hurricane Irma, which hit the southeast coast in 2017, left a majority of damage concentrated on low-rise buildings and wooden construction in its wake.

RC beams with rectangular openings in case of fire

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2022
Openings in reinforced concrete (RC) beams may be required due to building installations (electrical, water, etc.). They weaken its cross-sectional area and, in case of fire, can increase the thermal field of the structure.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Local buckling analysis of cold-formed steel webs with stiffened rectangular openings

, 2020
The cold-formed steel members often require web openings to allow for building services such as mechanical piping, electrical wiring, and air conditioning systems pass through the ceiling and therefore reduce the building overall height and as a result ...
