This paper presents an experimental investigation and nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA), using the numerical tool ANSYS©, carried out on shear diagonal cracking effect behaviour of reinforced-concrete (RC) beams made normal strength concrete (NSC) high-strength (HSC), with without transverse reinforcement. Beams were tested four-point bending, by means digital image correlation (DIC). I...

Background and Aim: One of the key aspects of maternal care is observing the progress of labor. Careful assessment of labor progress could provide mothers to be referred on time and could decrease the maternal and neonatal morbidity. This study aimed to compare diagnostic accuracy of purple line with transvers diagonal of Michaelis sacral rhomboid to predict labor progress in nulliparous and mu...

Tapered columns are a type of column that is used for different purposes, including architectural purposes or structural needs to take into account the changes occur moments along with height column. For example, in highway bridges, tapered reduce number transmitted base and from there foundation. This research studied analysis short reinforced concrete variable cross-sections linear manner by ...
