A Comparative Analysis of the Rebound Hammer and Pullout as Non-Destructive Method in Testing Concrete

European Journal of Engineering Research and Science, 2020
A comparative analysis between Rebound Hammer and Pullout method in testing concrete was conducted in this study. Experimental analysis were carried out to compare the correctness between the two testing method in estimating the strength of concrete. Different cube (cubes of 175 x 175 x 175) samples were prepared using two mix designs of 1:2:4 and 1:3 ...

Variation of Schmidt hammer rebound values depending on bed thickness and discontinuity surfaces

, 2011
In this study, Schmidt hammer rebound (HR) values of fine to medium-grained sandstone were measured to investigate the anisotropy effect on strength according to thickness. The highest HR was measured from the thickest (132 cm) bed, with an average value

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Beyond political risk: Toward a holistic understanding of multinational enterprise resilience in the era of cascading crises

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article develops a conceptual framework for understanding multinational enterprise (MNE) resilience in the era of cascading crises. We define resilience as the MNE's capacity to absorb disruption, maintain or restore functioning, and reconfigure operations as conditions shift.

Geopolitics and global strategy: Making money under anarchy

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Multinational firms conduct cross‐border trade and investment in a world of anarchy, where nation‐states must secure their survival in the absence of a world government. We develop a geopolitical‐economic order (GEO) framework to argue that the extent of geopolitical competition incentivizes states to create one of two types ...
