Earth Loading and Hauling Optimal Trade-Off
Abstract In loading and hauling of earth with loader and trucks, it is reasonable to expect that the truck's capacity (either gravimetric or volumetric) is not a whole multiple of the loader's bucket volume. Therefore, the truck's maximum...

A Novel Reinforcement Pattern for Exterior Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joint
Abstract Current design philosophy permits moment-resisting frames subjected to cyclic loading to be induced into the inelastic range where the forces that develop in parts of the structure will exceed their design values. In this phase of inelastic ...
