The behavior of interior beam-column joints under seismic actions is examined in detail. The
existence of two shear resisting mechanisms, one involving joint shear reinforcement and …

We have investigated the fabrication and operation of high power GaN Gunn diodes. The
Gunn effect (intervalley electron transfer giving rise to N-type negative differential resistance (…

Strength and load reversal tests were conducted on reinforced concrete beam-column
connections. Fourteen tests investigated the influence of the column axial compressive stress, the …

THAT Joseph Priestley should be known primarily for the dis-covery of oxygen is somewhat
ironic; he regarded his work in chemistry as an avocation, not the serious business of his life. …

The behavior of concrete subject to variable levels of confining pressure under concentric
axial loading is presented. An extensive experimental investigation of this behavior, using FRP…

Rapido trawls are used to catch sole around the coast of Italy and to catch scallops in the
northern Adriatic Sea but little is known about the environmental impact of this gear. Benthic …

… width-to-wall thickness ratio of square steel tube was beyond the range of 45 to 60, the
confinement provided by the square steel tube was insufficient to prevent brittle failure modes of R…

… In the absence of solar radiation data, the solar radiation values used in Penman type
equations, Preistley/Taylor and FAO radiation methods were estimated using sunshine hours, …

… Marc, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of concrete strength, joint
tube, axial compression ratio of column (n 0 ), and ratio of joint height to column diameter (r …

… l), such a method is proposed and studied by Preistley and Chao (1972). Their estimate has
… R,. such that the volume of Rj,n converges to 0 as n + 00. From each of these regions select …
