Performance evaluation of traditional timber joints under cyclic loading and their influence on the seismic response of timber frame structures [PDF]
, 2016 Timber joints represent the governing part of a timber structure, particularly when assessing its seismic response. In order to better assess the seismic capacity of traditional timber frame structures, particularly timber-framed shear walls, pull-out ...

Stuck in the Waiting Room: An Analytical Essay Exploring Infertility at Work
Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this analytical essay, we use our embodied career experiences to explore infertility at work, placing our “infertile body” at the center of analysis. We consider the ways in which infertility has impacted our identities, careers, and timelines.

Scale effects of uplift capacity of circular anchors in dense sand
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 The scale effects of uplift capacity of circular anchors in dense sand are studied by means of the model tests and finite element method. The pullout tests on the circular anchors with the diameters of 20, 50 and 400 mm as well as the embedment ratios of

Zoonotic anxieties: The cultural politics of Nepal's quest for pandemic preparedness
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Based on fieldwork conducted in Nepal (2022–2024) and by paying attention to how local and transnational notions of epidemiological risk are deployed, this ethnography introduces the concept of “zoonotic anxieties” to make sense of the multi‐species relational ethos that contemporary global health regimes propose.

Design of plate and screw anchors in dense sand:failure mechanism, capacity and deformation [PDF]
, 2019 Plate and screw anchors provide a significant uplift capacity and have multiple applications in both onshore and offshore geotechnical engineering. Uplift design methods are mostly based on semi-empirical approaches assuming a failure mechanism, a normal
