  2. 1. Patch loading resistance of plated girders : ultimate and serviceability limit state

    Author : Jonas Gozzi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : Patch loading or partial edge loading of steel girder webs is a load case where a concentrated force is introduced perpendicular to the flange of a girder. This usually induces a local failure of the girder web in the vicinity of the loaded flange. READ MORE

  4. 2. Investigations on the Serviceability Limit State of Dowel-Type Timber Connections

    Author : Michael Dorn; de Borst Karin; Vienna University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; timber engineering; dowel-type connection; experiments; simualations; Servieability Limit State; contact behavior; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Dowel-type steel-to-timber connections are commonly used to transfer a large range of loads. Although they are simple to produce and assemble, the load-carrying behavior and the local stress and strain distribution within the connection area are highly complex. READ MORE

  6. 4. Serviceability Limit State for Steel Girders during Bridge Launching - A Patch Loading Problem

    Author : Per Granath; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; steel; patch loading; plate girders; bridge launching; post-buckling; behaviour; finite element analysis; serviceability limit state;

    Abstract : Incremental launching is a construction method in which bridge girders are first assembled in the vicinity of the future permanent position of the bridge. When the elements have been welded together the girders are launched to their permanent position. READ MORE

  7. 5. Death Penalty in Decline : Brakes and Accelerators in U.S. State Legislatures

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; abolition; bill proposals; death penalty; Democrats; gubernatorial veto; legislative entrepreneurs; legislative professionalism; morality policy; public opinion; Republicans; state legislatures; women legislators; Statsvetenskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : After reaching a peak during the 1990s, death sentences and executions havedeclined throughout the states. During this time, a steady stream of states havetaken the step to join a growing group of abolitionist states, or alternatively, have a moratorium on executions in place. In a parallel development, supportfor the death penalty among the U.S. READ MORE
