Heavy snowfall event over the Swiss Alps: did wind shear impact secondary ice production? [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
The change in wind direction and speed with height, referred to as vertical wind shear, causes enhanced turbulence in the atmosphere. As a result, there are enhanced interactions between ice particles that break up during collisions in clouds which could

Experimental Study on Structural Performance of Precast Reinforced Concrete Core Wall with Small Shear Span Ratio [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the core wall system in high-rise buildings, precast core walls are effective for construction because they can be built more quickly than cast-in-place core walls.

Finite Element Analysis of the Shear Performance of Reinforced Concrete Corbels under Different Design Codes

open access: yesBuildings
This study aimed to investigate the shear performance of reinforced concrete corbels and to evaluate the accuracy and safety of the Chinese code GB 50010-2010’s triangular truss model and the American code ACI 318-19’s strut-and-tie model under various ...

Localized shear and distributed strain accumulation as competing shear accommodation mechanisms in crustal shear zones: constraining their dictating factors [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth
Understanding the underlying mechanisms of strain localization in the Earth’s lithosphere is crucial for explaining the mechanics of tectonic plate boundaries and various failure-assisted geophysical phenomena, such as earthquakes.

Influence of section depth on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams

open access: yes, 2007
YesAlthough the depth of reinforced concrete deep beams is much higher than that of slender beams, extensive existing tests on deep beams have focused on simply supported beams with a scaled depth below 600 mm.

Shear Layer and Wave Structure Over Partially Spanning Cavities

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Society of Visualization, 2013
Study of the wave structure and shear layer in the vicinity of a wall mounted cavity is done by time averaged colour schlieren and time resolved instantaneous shadowgraph technique in an M=1.7 flowfield. Effect of change of cavity width on flow structure is investigated by using constant length to depth (L/D) ratio cavity models with varying length to ...

Analysis of fracture processes in reinforced concrete beams without stirrups

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2021
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.

Investigations on the Shear Mechanism of Steel-Tube-Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls with a Low Shear-Span Ratio

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019
This paper describes the study of steel tube reinforced concrete (STRC) shear walls with a low shear-span ratio, in which steel tubes are embedded in the web of the shear wall. The addition of these steel tubes can significantly improve the shear behavior of ordinary RC shear walls. A series of cyclic loading tests allow us to examine the failure mode,

Experimental Study on the Shear Behavior of Reinforced Highly Ductile Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams with Stirrups

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
The aim of this study is to improve the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with stirrups by using highly ductile fiber-reinforced concrete (HDC), which is a fiber-reinforced cement-based composite material with tensile-strain-hardening ...

Hysteresis Behavior of RC Beam–Column Joints of Existing Substandard RC Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading–Experimental and Analytical Investigation

open access: yesBuildings
Four exterior reinforced concrete beam–column joint subassemblages with poor reinforcement details and low-quality materials were constructed and subjected to cyclic lateral deformations under constant axial loading of the columns.
