Plastic design. An imposed hinge-rotation approach, P. Zeman and H. M. Irvine, Allen & Unwin, London, 1986, 86 pages

plastic hinge rotation capacity of reinforced concrete beams

a parametric study is performed to assess the influence of the tension reinforcement index, ( ω = ρ fy /f bc), and the bending moment distribution (loading type) on the ultimate deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (rc) beams. the analytical results for 15 simply supported beams with different amounts of tension reinforcement ratio under three different loading conditions are pres...

Adaptive Space Frame Analysis: Part I, a Plastic Hinge Approach

This is one of two companion papers presenting new procedures for the efficient largedisplacement analysis of steel frames in the elasto-plastic range. Emphasis is given in this paper to the development and improvement of a plastic hinge approach utilizing the concept of adaptive mesh refinement. In the companion paper, such a concept is discussed in the context of a more accurate approach acco...

The University of London 1836–1986. An illustrated history

s monograph does not completely fill this gap; but in its modest and carefully researched way it presents us with the best account yet-albeit one essentially geographically circumscribed to the Eastern Counties-of the social response to surely the most serious and feared epidemic disease from Stuart to Edwardian times. Smith's local researches in Essex confirm that smallpox mortality was often ...

The yellow pages plastic surgeon.

Did I really have to go through 3 years of general surgery training and 2 years of plastic surgery training in residency programs approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to become a plastic surgeon? After recently graduating from the Grand Rapids Plastic Surgery Residency program and an aesthetic plastic surgery fellowship with Dr. Richard Ellenbogen in Los ...
