RC structural slender walls under large seismic excitation are expected to reach base moment capacity mainly affected by the first vibration mode. However, the base shear could be affected by higher modes once yielding in ...

Columns that are at the intersection of frames in two different directions are subjected to biaxial shear when lateral loads are simultaneously applied in two directions. Using the resultant shear and evaluating one-way ...

In Argentina, beef cattle prices decrease as slaughter weight increases regardless of animal age or carcass maturity, and this decrease is significantly greater in heifers (15%) than in steers (5%). The objectives of the ...

The prestressed hollow core slabs present uncertainties regarding the evaluation of the resistance to the resistant shear force. This is because several parameters influence the shear-resistant mechanism of prestressed ...

This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of the slaughter weight of twenty eight non castrated Mediterranean buffaloes finished in feedlot on qualitative meat traits. The animals were divided randomly in four ...
