Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Precast reinforced concrete segmental linings are frequently used in modern tunneling. In these linings, the longitudinal joints typically have a reduced contact cross‐section and thus often govern the design, particularly in tunnels under high hydrostatic pressure or crossing squeezing or swelling ground with correspondingly high ...

Reinforced concrete corbels strengthened with external prestressing
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2019 Reinforced concrete structures may demand, throughout their lifetime, the increase of the capacity load due to eventual changes in the load configuration. In this context, corbels could be considered structural elements which present great challenges for

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents an analytical model to predict the shear strength of RC beams affected by corrosion within the Level IIb framework of fib Model Code 2020. Corrosion is accounted for by (i) reducing the area of longitudinal reinforcement, (ii) degrading the yield strength of stirrups according to Imperatore's law, and (iii) reducing the ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Anchors are used to connect different structural and non‐structural components to reinforced concrete structures. Anchorages when subjected to tension loading might fail in different failure modes, with concrete cone breakout (CCB) being one of the most common.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Strut-and-Tie Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams [PDF]
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2018 Strut-and-tie models (STMs) are often used for the design of shear critical deep members because they can rationalize the shear transfer within discontinuous or disturbed regions in reinforced concrete structural elements. Most current codes of practice adopt the strut-and-tie method but provide very little guidance on how to select appropriate strut ...

Verification of the bursting and spalling formulas in the FIB model code by finite element analyses of anchorage zones of pretensioned girders [PDF]
, 2016 In order to predict the stress and possible crack distribution in the anchorage zones of pretensioned girders several models have been developed as can be found in the fib Model Code, the ASHTOO code or Eurocode 2.

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.
