Non-linear analysis of two-layer timber beams considering interlayer slip and uplift [PDF]
A new mathematical model and its finite element formulation for the non-linear analysis of mechanical behaviour of a two-layer timber planar beam is presented. A modified principle of virtual work is employed in formulating the finite element method. The

Experimental study on vertical tensile bearing mechanism of screw cast-in-place piles
The vertical tensile bearing capacity of the screw cast-in-place pile is studied through the indoor model tests and field tests, and it is shown that the screw cast-in-place pile is superior to be used as the uplift piles. Through the indoor model tests,

The onset of grasses in the Amazon drainage basin, evidence from the fossil record [PDF]
Poaceae (the grass family) originated in the Cretaceous, but first dominate the palynological records of the Amazon drainage basin (ADB) in the Neogene (23 to 2.5 million years ago (Ma)).

Design and experimental analysis of a new shear connector for steel and concrete composite structures [PDF]
This work presents the design of a new shear connector and the corresponding results obtained on push-out tests. This new shear connector consists on a steel rib with indented cut shape that provides resistance to longitudinal shear and prevents ...

Upper Bound Solutions for Uplift Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Suction Caisson Foundation
Suction caisson foundation derives most of their uplift resistance from passive suction developed during the pullout movement. It was observed that the passive suction generated in soil at the bottom of the caisson and the failure mode of suction caisson foundation subjecting pullout loading behaves as a reverse compression failure mechanism. The upper

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Behaviour of micropiles in heterogeneous coarse soils [PDF]
This paper reports on an experimental investigation on the behaviour of small-diameter piles, commonly referred to as micropiles. This particular type of deep foundation is frequently used in many barely accessible Italian mountainous areas, often ...
