Shear capacity of reinforced concrete corbels using mechanism analysis [PDF]
A mechanism analysis is developed to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete corbels. Based on shear failure observed in experimental tests, kinematically admissible failure mechanisms are idealised as an assemblage of two rigid blocks ...

Tidal wind shear observed by meteor radar and comparison with sporadic E occurrence rates based on GPS radio occultation observations [PDF]
We analyze tidal (diurnal, semidiurnal, terdiurnal, quarterdiurnal) phases and related wind shear in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere as observed by meteor radar over Collm (51.3∘ N, 13.0∘ E).

Analysis of fracture processes in reinforced concrete beams without stirrups
The analysis of fracture processes which led to shear failure in reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement was performed on the basis of test results from the author’s own experimental investigation and numerical simulations.

Variable-cell method for stress-controlled jamming of athermal, frictionless grains [PDF]
A new method is introduced to simulate jamming of polyhedral grains under controlled stress that incorporates global degrees of freedom through the metric tensor of a periodic cell containing grains.

Transient conduit permeability controlled by a shift between compactant shear and dilatant rupture at Unzen volcano (Japan) [PDF]
The permeability of magma in volcanic conduits controls the fluid flow and pore pressure development that regulates gas emissions and the style of volcanic eruptions.

Seismic axial collapse of short shear span RC shear walls above transfer structure
A special class of short shear span RC shear wall exists in the form of a sub-structure at the base of slender walls in tall buildings, was found common in the low-to-moderate seismicity region. These non-seismically designed short shear span RC walls are highly stressed in axial load under gravity and lateral actions, and have limited deformability ...

Optimisation of Novel Elliptically-Based Web Opening Shapes of Perforated Steel Beams [PDF]
A new study was carried out and presented herein, on the optimisation of novel elliptically-based web opening shapes which enhance the structural behaviour of the perforated beams as well as lead to economic design in terms of both manufacture and usage.
