Web of plate girders in bridges are usually reinforced by welded transverse stiffeners inorder to improve their shear capacity. Due to problems associated with field welding and fatigue,welded stiffeners are not suitable for retrofitting existing bridges. Bolted stiffeners are a practicalalternative for strengthening girders that are expected to experience shear stresses in excess of theirdesig...

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) experiences an acute dearth of well-trained and skilled researchers. This dearth constrains the region's capacity to identify and address the root causes of its poor social, health, development, and other outcomes. Building sustainable research capacity in SSA requires, among other things, locally led and run initiatives that draw on existing regional capacities as well...

BACKGROUND There is a substantial body of literature on the principles of good partnerships and the rationale for such partnerships in research capacity strengthening. This paper illustrates the long term effects of a multi-country (8 countries) global partnership for health systems research capacity development (Connecting health Research in Africa and Ireland Consortium - ChRAIC) in relation ...
