An experimental study on sheathed cold-formed steel C-lipped columns (studs) with service holes in the web subjected to compression and major axis bending is presented this paper. A total of 17 experiments was performed both oriented strand board (OSB) plasterboard used as sheathing material varying connector spacing employed between members. Material tests geometric imperfection measurements w...

Investigating individual differences in sexual performance in unmanipulated males is important for understanding natural relationships between behavior and morphology, and the mechanisms regulating them. Among male green anole lizards, some court and copulate frequently (studs) and others do not (duds). To evaluate potential factors underlying differences in the level of these behaviors, morpho...

In construction industry, cold-formed steel sections become more pertinent in place of hot-rolled members. The design guides for CFS are inadequate and hence it is substantial to investigate their governing behaviours as material failure structural instability (buckling). This study aims analyse how the buckling face-to-face built-up box short columns administrated by application end plates wit...

Lightweight cold-formed steel (CFS) framing is an effective building solution for low and mid-rise structures. However, systems level response and component contributions as well as their interactions such as those from lateral-load resisting systems, floor diaphragms, studs to track connections, etc., are not fully understood. Existing building codes for the CFS frame buildings are based solel...

A total of 5,909 scrotal circumference and 5,373 tesricular consistency (tonometer) measurements were made on Holstein bulls in seven artificial insemination studs. Comparable measurements were made on 339Angus bulls. The multiple regression equation, Y = -4.67 + 47.26 log X 1 1 . 7 4 (log X)2), where ~f is scrotal circumference in cm and X is bull age in months, described the high rate of test...
