Behaviour evaluation of “sleeved” connectors in composite timber‐concrete floors

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005
The paper presents the structural solution to the joisted floor when the timber joist of composite cross‐section and the concrete slab are interconnected via a special semi‐rigid connection and form a timber‐concrete joisted floor composite element.

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...
