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. …”

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. …”

Fatigue Behaviour of CFRP Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Beams by James, Valontino Ruwhellon

“…The performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, such as bridges in the heavy haul industry, may be severely impacted by fatigue when subjected to repeated cyclic loading. Fatigue not only reduces load carrying capacity and serviceability limit states (SLS), but it can cause structural failure even when the components are subjected to low stress range cyclic loading. …”

Vibration Serviceability of Long Span Slender Floors by Matela, Mou Michael

“…Because the criterion by the NBC is based on the beam theory, models the floor as a single degree-of-freedom and only considers the fundamental mode of vibration, Ji et al (1994) and Ellis et al (2004) proposed an alternative criterion which entails the characterization of the load which pertains to the determination of the load model in a form of a Fourier series, evaluation of the characteristics of the floor vibration and calculation of the response of the floor to the dancing loads. …”
