Influence of symmetry on the stability behaviour of plane and space frames by Kaluba, Chisanga

“…The group theoretic slope deflection approach was used to obtain analytical results for the buckling loads and modes of plane frames. Another advantage of the group theoretic approach developed was that insights on the symmetry of the buckling modes were obtained even before detailed computations for eigenvalues are carried out. …”

The static and fatigue behavior of low profile precast concrete sleepers by Goodhead, Andrew H

“…The fatigue tests were conducted by following the procedure specified in the Australian railway code (AS 1084.14-2012). The usefulness of the Australian code fatigue test was brought into question as the fatigue life of Low Profile sleepers far exceeded the 3 million load cycle specified by the code. …”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of The Behavior of Screen Grid ICF Walls by El Maghraby, Yosra Hesham

“…Presence of openings reduces the lateral load carrying capacity of the wall. The mode of failure and cracking pattern were affected by the variation in the grid size, presence of openings and reduction of steel bar size. …”
