Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
The reinforced concrete dapped-ends present in beams, being regions of discontinuity, require non-trivial models for their analysis and design, such as the strut-and-tie model, the shear-friction model, and the finite element method.

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Medial and lateral views of the human foot skeleton in the shod and unshod groups, with color maps representing mean relative trabecular bone volume fraction (rBV/TV) in the talus for each group. The shod group exhibited greater rBV/TV in the medial and posterior talus, whereas the unshod group had greater rBV/TV in the talar head and neck.

Analysis of nodal stress on reinforced concrete two-pile caps supported on steel piles

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2020
: Reinforced concrete pile caps may be designed trough plastic models (strut and tie model) or models based on bending theory. The formulae available for verifying the stress is based on caps supported on concrete piles, with few studies about the stress

Listener Commentary Reveals the Social Salience of Accent Features

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how listeners from two regions of England perceive and describe Northern English accents. Using the Salient Language in Context (SLIC) methodology, 94 respondents from two regions of England listened to recorded voices, clicking when they noticed features and providing open‐ended comments.

Secrecy: An Epistemological Account

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the ethical and political implications of secrecy are significant, I argue here that its fundamental nature is epistemological and that any account of its nature must be based on its epistemological profile. In particular, I propose examining secrecy within the framework of social and political epistemology, considering secrets as ...

Study on an Optimal Strut-And-Tie Model for Concrete Deep Beams

Applied Sciences, 2019
The optimal strut-and-tie models (STMs) of two typical irregular concrete deep beams were constructed using evolutionary structural optimization and compared with those of previous studies.

Seriality and style: The embodiment, perception, and normalization of collectives

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Within existential phenomenology, both seriality and style have been drawn on to theorize the embodiment and perceptibility of (social) ontological differences. While style refers to how we encounter the world and others not in the abstract, but as immediately and intuitively meaningful, seriality is a form of collective being that pertains to

Teaching Queer Visual Metaphors: Clothing, Queer Literacies, and Picture Books

The Reading Teacher, Volume 80, Issue 4, January/February 2027.
ABSTRACT Queer picture books disrupt binary notions of gender by making visible and validating alternative gendered ways of being, often using visual metaphors, such as clothing, to introduce ideas of gender nonconformity. Productive reading of queer picture books therefore requires attention to how children move from literal to inferential to ...

Modified Softened Strut and Tie Model for Concrete Deep Beams

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2012
A modified softened strut-and-tie model (MSST) for determining the shear strength of reinforced concrete deep beams is proposed in this paper. It is a simplified analytical model and several improvements have been made.

Strut and tie modeling for RC short beams with corroded stirrups

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the major problems that shorten the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Steel stirrups, due to their location as an outer reinforcement, are more susceptible to corrosion problems and damage ...
