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 ...

Three dimensionality in the wake of the flow around a circular cylinder at Reynolds number 5000 [PDF]
The turbulent flow around a circular cylinder has been investigated at Re=5000Re=5000 using direct numerical simulations. Low frequency behavior, vortex undulation, vortex splitting, vortex dislocations and three dimensional flow within the wake were ...

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

Seismic axial collapse of short shear span reinforced concrete shear walls
This thesis addresses the seismic behaviour investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls in a low-to-moderate seismicity region which faces its own class of challenges inherited from non-seismic construction practice. In the current global norm of shear wall research in high seismicity region, discussions on slender walls in tall buildings and

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
