Shear design of short-span beams [PDF]
Eurocode 2 presents two alternative methods for accounting for arching action in beams. The simplest option is to reduce the component of shear force owing to loads applied within 2d of the support by the multiple av/2d (where av is the clear shear span and d is the effective depth).

Shear rate effect on the residual strength characteristics of saturated loess in naturally drained ring shear tests [PDF]
Residual shear strength of soils is an important soil parameter for assessing the stability of landslides. To investigate the effect of the shear rate on the residual shear strength of loessic soils, a series of naturally drained ring shear tests were ...

SHEAR CAPACITY OF HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE BEAMS WITH THEIR POINT OF INFLECTION WITHIN THE SHEAR SPAN. [PDF]
j The shear strength of concrete does not increase in proportion with the concrete grade. Thus, when high-strength concrete is used in place of normal-strength concrete, the shear capacity of the structure could become critical. In the study presented, the effect of concrete strength on the shear capacity of concrete beams was investigated. As previous

Environmental sensitivities of shallow-cumulus dilution – Part 2: Vertical wind profile [PDF]
This second part of a numerical study on shallow-cumulus dilution focuses on the sensitivity of cloud dilution to changes in the vertical wind profile. Insights are obtained through large-eddy simulations of maritime and continental cloud fields.

Behaviour of hollow pultruded GFRP square beams with different shear span-to-depth ratios [PDF]
It is important to determine accurately the elastic properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites material, considering that their member design is often governed by deflection rather than strength.

Crystallographic preferred orientations of ice deformed in direct-shear experiments at low temperatures [PDF]
Synthetic polycrystalline ice was sheared at temperatures of −5, −20 and −30 ∘C, to different shear strains, up to γ=2.6, equivalent to a maximum stretch of 2.94 (final line length is 2.94 times the original length).

Ultrasonic and seismic constraints on crystallographic preferred orientations of the Priestley Glacier shear margin, Antarctica [PDF]
Crystallographic preferred orientations (CPOs) are particularly important in controlling the mechanical properties of glacial shear margins. Logistical and safety considerations often make direct sampling of shear margins difficult, and geophysical ...
