In a recent article M. Colyvan has argued that Quinean forms of scientific realism are faced with an unexpected upshot. Realism concerning a given class of entities, along with this route to realism, can be vindicated by running an indispensability argumen ...
Design formulations for calculation of bond strength in structural concrete members usually include a number of parameters such as the stress acting in the reinforcement, the concrete cover and the diameter of the reinforcing bars. These parameters are act ...
The paper considers the impact of multiple shareholder-oriented governance practices on R&D decisions. Based on a sample of 5,528 firms belonging to 110 large French listed business groups, our results substantiate the idea that shareholder-oriented govern ...
A reinforcing element (10) for structural concrete construction comprising a rod- shaped bar (1 1 ) having a cross-sectional enlargement on at least one end thereof. The rod shaped member (11 ) comprises an elbow portion (12) on said at least one end being ...
The provisions for punching shear around concentrated loads in the new Model Code 2010 (MC2010) have been updated, covering a large number of design cases such as slabs with and without transverse reinforcement, different column/slab geometries and prestre ...
This paper investigates the shear strength of beams and one-way slabs without stirrups based on the opening of a critical shear crack. The shear-carrying mechanisms after the development of this crack are investigated. On this basis, a rational model is de ...
Hybrid slab systems combining fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites with concrete are promising load-bearing structures, and an increasing number of applications has demonstrated their high potential in terms of structural performance and durability. H ...
Universities’ centrality within the public research systems has been increasing over time, as it has their interactions with industry. Such interaction poses two dilemmas. One concerns individual scientists and the potential trade-off between basic researc ...
Currently, there is no generally-accepted theory giving a physical explanation of the shear strength in one- and two-way slabs. Furthermore, for members without transverse reinforcement, shear strength is estimated in most codes of practice following empir ...
Since 2006 structured and evidence based research on injury prevention is conducted under the guidance and support of the International Ski Federation (FIS) within the Injury Surveillance System (ISS). The outcome of this work is used directly by the FIS f ...
