Improving women's experience during speculum examinations at routine gynaecological visits: randomised clinical trial.
OBJECTIVES To determine if a standardised method of leg positioning without stirrups reduces the physical discomfort and sense of vulnerability and increases the sense of control among women undergoing speculum examination as part of a routine gynaecological examination. DESIGN Randomised clinical trial. SETTING Family medicine outpatient clinic. PATIENTS 197 adult women undergoing routin...
متن کاملLinear genetic programming for shear strength prediction of reinforced concrete beams without stirrups
A new design equation is proposed for the prediction of shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups using an innovative linear genetic programming methodology. The shear strength was formulated in terms of several effective parameters such as shear span to depth ratio, concrete cylinder strength at date of testing, amount of longitudinal reinforcement, lever arm, and maxim...
متن کاملCan Stirrups Suppress Size Effect on Shear Strength of RC Beams?
This paper demonstrates the size effect on the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with stirrups and does so in two separate and independent ways: (1) by fracture mechanics, based on finite-element analysis calibrated by a large beam test; and (2) by purely statistical analysis in which a newly assembled database of 234 tests is filtered to eliminate spurious size effects caused by...
متن کاملEffects of Stirrups on Bond Behavior Between Concrete and Corroded Steel Bars
Steel corrosion leads to the deterioration of bond between concrete and steel bars. The serviceability and ultimate strength of concrete elements within RC structures are hence affected. Many researchers have studied the bond behavior of corroded steel bars. However, very few studies have investigated the effects of confinements on the degradation of bond strength. The present paper proposed a ...
