The program "ST method" for determining the Strut-and-Tie models of RC plane members [PDF]

, 2016
U radu je predstavljen prijedlog za određivanje Strut-and-Tie modela armiranobetonskih ravninskih nosača primjenom diskretne topološke optimizacije koja podrazumijeva rešetkasti sustav za proračun stanja naprezanje-deformacija nosača. Strut-and-Tie model

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.

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.

Applications of truss topology optimization in the design of reinforced concrete structures using „Strut and Tie” models

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2013
Although Strut and Tie models are often used in practical design due to their apparent concept based on truss analysis, the creation of a model consistent with behaviour of the real structure is not an easy task.

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 ...

A safety-based evaluation of strut-and-tie methods for shear design of RC deep beams in accordance with international concrete codes

Engineering and Applied Science Research, 2020
On the basis of strut-and-tie models (STMs) in accordance with international concrete codes such as ACI 318-14, AASHTO LRFD, CSA A23.3, Eurocode2 and fibMC 2010, a safety-based evaluation of shear design methods for RC deep beams was performed and is ...

7th International Conference on Civil and Structural Engineering: Optimization and Control in Civil and Structural Engineering

, 1999
The strut-and-tie modeling is a simple, unified, rational and safe approach for the design of structural concrete members. Conventional methods are not efficient in finding optimal strut-and-tie models in concrete members with complex geometry and ...

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 ...
