this paper presents an auto redundant technique for analysis of grid with curved members.this technique is based on the force method, but in the technique choice of the redundant iscompletely eliminated. the analysis technique is found very effective, accurate andprogrammable. a comprehensive c++ program has been developed to compute internalforces at the end of each member of the grid for diff...

Campylobacteriosis in an infectious disease of animals that is transmissable to man. The aetiological agents are members of the genus Campylobacter, a name compounded from the Greek campylo (,curved') and bacter ('rod'). I Members of this genus are small gram-negative, microaerophilic, curved-to-spiral rods that have a single polar flagellum. Representatives include pathogens for animals and ma...

Reinforced concrete horizontally curved beams are extensively used in many fields, such as in the construction of modern highway intersections, elevated freeways, the rounded corners of buildings, circular balconies,....etc. In some of these cases, large depths are needed for curved beams in order to resist high loads or to fulfill some aesthetic purposes. The analytical analysis of such member...

A recent Ontario arbitral award is reshaping the way employers and employees must approach the legal duty to accommodate employees with disabilities in the workplace. Entrenched in both federal and provincial human rights legislation, the duty to accommodate imposes a legal obligation on employers to accommodate employees with disabilities unless such accommodation would cause undue hardship on...

Cold curving is today the cheapest and more common way to produce curved steel members by bending or curving of straight members. This is a repetitive process during which the straight member passes several times through a machine with bending rolls imposing progressively the desire curvature (see for example the curving machine of figure 1). The non-reversible deformations introduced by the pr...
