Any one who has been on active service with Indian Field Hospitals and Bearer Columns, must have observed the want of order that prevails, and how the men straggle all over the line of march. I think that all the men of the A. H. N. C. sho...

A significant amount of research has been conducted worldwide on the behavior of concrete filled steel tubes (CFTs) in the past five decades. This report provides a summary of the behavior and experimental work of concrete filled steel tube members, connections, and frames that are reported in detail in the literature. These published studies have been summarized with an emphasis on experimenta...

The present study investigates how advice writers employ move sequences and modal verbs to achieve intended discourse functions. This paper aims to testify two research hypotheses: 1. Advice writers of different topics employ different moves and modal verbs to achieve discourse function, and 2. The differences may imply writers’ intentions, emotion and expectancy of effects on the readers to in...

The paper discusses the structural behaviour of concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFT) when applied to top-down construction method as temporary internal supports for ceilings. Their ultimate capacity take into account actual boundary conditions column is essential successful application in construction. presents full-scale situ testing four slender specimens with variable D/t ratios under co...

As a new member of concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) structural families, elliptical tubes (CFETs) have great potential to be used as piers and columns in bridges airport terminals because its low flow resistance coefficient reasonable distribution major–minor axis. Hence, the main objective this paper presents an experimental investigation on seismic behavior terminal stirrup-confined (TS-CFET)...
