Investigation of rational depth of castellated steel I‐beams/Sijų su perforuotąja sienele racionalaus aukščio tyrimas

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2008
There are many methods to calculate castellated steel beams; however, neither of these methods determines the rational cross‐section selection. Selecting the rational cross‐section induces a significant reduction in the quantity of steel. A new algorithm

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

What Do We Know About Scope 3 Emissions in Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Enterprises? Mapping Current Knowledge and Advancing a Theory–Practice‐Oriented Framework

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although SMEs comprise over 90% of firms globally, research on their engagement with Scope 3 (value‐chain) greenhouse gas emissions remains limited. This PRISMA‐guided systematic review synthesises 49 SME‐relevant studies to develop a theory‐informed, practice‐oriented framework for more credible and sustained Scope 3 engagement.

Stability of axially loaded tapered columns/Centriškai gniuždomų trapecinių kolonų stabilumas

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2000
In this paper, theoretical analysis of tapered column's bearing capacity is presented. A slender axially loaded column loses stability, when it achieves critical load (1). Critical load for uniform column can be calculated using L. Euler's formula (3).
