This paper investigates the applicability of a cohesive zone model for simulating the performance of bituminous material subjected to quasistatic loading. The Dugdale traction law was implemented within a finite volume ...
This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on multi-layered timber beams using welded-through wood dowels in place of traditional poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-adhesives (or metallic nails). Four-layer beams ...
This paper presents exploratory research related to novel full-scale multi-layered timber beams with composite action achieved with welded-through wood dowels. Different multi-layer beam designs, where the timber layers ...
Most of the current research on dynamic amplification factors caused by traffic flow on a bridge has focused on bending moment effects. Although bending stresses often govern the requirements of the bridge section, sufficient ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
Traditionally the measures used to evaluate the impact of an educational programme on student outcomes and the extent to which students change is a comparison of the student's pre‐test scores with his/her post‐test scores. ...
The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
Murphy, Anthony(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-07)
A convenient artifical regression based LM test of non-normality in the probit model is derived using a Gram Charlier type A alternative. The test is simply derived and may be extended to the bivariate probit case. The ...
Murphy, Anthony(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-12)
A simple and convenient LM test of normality in the bivariate probit model is derived. The alternative hypothesis is based on a form of truncated Gram Charlier Type series. The LM test may be calculated as an artificial ...
