Abstract This paper focuses on the experimental study of shear testing 15.2 mm, 25 t capacity seven wire cables at zero, 30° and 45° angles using two different facilities University Wollongong (UOW) Southern Queensland (USQ) in Toowoomba. A circular double-shear rig MK-IV was used for cable perpendicular to sheared joint faces (zero angle orientation), while carried out a larger-size rectangula...

With the advancement technology for reinforced concrete structures, it becomes increasingly feasible to use this steel structures. The objective of work is present formulation optimization problem beams with external pretension straight or polygonal tracing cables, considering environmental and economic impacts. For function formulation, minimization CO2 emission cost in design structure were c...

Despite the significant number of critical analyses devoted to subject, precise definition famed crisis-notion that lies at heart Husserl’s last work remains controversial. The aim this article is defend and expand account notion crisis philosophy resulting European sciences I have developed in a publications. This will be done by further exploring meaningfulness for life as well its relation t...

Some important developments have occurred since April 2014, when I first submitted this article for publication. Because the two-volume set of Festschrift contributions in which this article was recently published is not available online, I have decided (with permission of those involved in the Festschrift) to have my own article posted on the website of the University of Kansas Law School (www...

End-to-end automated application design and deployment poses a significant technical challenge. With increasing scale and complexity of IT systems and the manual handling of existing scripts and configuration files for application deployment that makes them increasingly error-prone and brittle, this problem has become more acute. Even though design tools have been used to automated system desig...

To explore the influence of design parameters on aerodynamic stability planar membrane structures, a mathematical model for calculating critical wind speed flat panel structures was established, and closed expression obtained through criterion instability. The size, density, pretension other studied by monofactor analysis. results show that, with help new concept benefit loss coefficient, sensi...
