The punching shear strength of interior column connections of flat slabs has traditionally been investigated with isolated test specimens subjected exclusively to hogging bending moments. However, the behavior of such specimens is different from that of ac ...
Singularity [1] is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with a question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity is working to answer this question by bui ...
Reinforced concrete slabs with uniform thickness are common in residential and commercial buildings but can also be found in other types of structures. Such slabs are susceptible to punching shear failures, where a supporting column penetrates through the ...
Roebel cables are one possible option for use in the manufacture of high current conductors for various technical applications. In this work the behaviour of critical current under transverse loads up to 90 MPa was studied in coated conductor Roebel cables ...
We present data concerning the factorization of the 130-digit number RSA130 which we factored on April 10, 1996, using the number field sieve factoring method. This factorization beats the 129-digit record that was set on April 2, 1994, by the quadratic si ...
The design of reinforced concrete flat slabs in practice can be governed at failure by punching shear close to concentrated loads or columns. Punching shear resistance formulations provided by codes are calibrated on the basis of experimental tests on isol ...
Deformation-dependent punching shear resistance often constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns. The increasing number of aging structures exhibiting insufficient punching resistance and detailing deficien ...
