Ultimate Shear of RC Beams with Corroded Stirrups and Strengthened with FRP
Buildings, 2019 Transverse reinforcement plays a key role in the response behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Therefore, corrosion of steel stirrups may change the failure mode of elements from bending to shear, leading to a brittle and catastrophic crisis.

Architecture-parametric timing analysis [PDF]
2014 IEEE 19th Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS), 2014 Platforms are families of microarchitectures that implement the same instruction set architecture but that differ in architectural parameters, such as frequency, memory latencies, or memory sizes. The choice of these parameters influences execution time, implementation cost, and energy consumption.
