Punching is a possible failure mode for slender footings and it may lead a structure to ruin through progressive collapse. Although footing present different geometric characteristics, their punching ...

Abstract It is known that design deficiencies in shear design are more dangerous than bending, as shear failures can occur in a fragile way and without possibility of redistributing internal forces.

When you launch a new product, your vision for its use might differ from how customers actually use it. Ivar Jacobson created the first use case model in 1987 while working at Ericsson. It started as ...

Abstract: This paper presents modeling and analysis of horizontal and vertical wind shear effects using a wind turbine emulator (WTE) with a comprehensive model. These periodic effects generate power ...
