Concrete walls with and without openings supported on three sides
No full textThe Australian Concrete Standard (AS3600-2009) includes updated guidelines for the simplified\ud
design of axially loaded walls. More specifically effective length factors have been introduced to distinguish\ud
between walls supported on two, three and four sides. There is very limited information on the behaviour\ud
of walls supported on three sides. As such this paper presents results from an experimental study on six\ud
half-scale reinforced concrete walls supported on three sides with various opening configurations. All panels,\ud
with a slenderness ratio of 30, were subjected to a uniformly distributed axial load at an eccentricity of tw/6.\ud
Crack pattern behaviour and effects on ultimate strengths are discussed. Comparisons are made with identically\ud
sized wall panels supported on two, three or four sides (with and without openings) from other studies. \ud

Letter from Hayao (Sam) Chuman to the American Friends Service Committee
No full textA letter from Hayao (Sam) Chuman to the American Friends Service Committee, donating a portion of his redress check from the U.S. government to the Committee.The Chuman (Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko) Papers documents the World War II experiences of Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko Chuman, who were Kibei Nisei born in the United States but grew up and completed school in Japan, and then returned to the U.S. prior to the war. It chronicles the Chuman's incarceration from the Santa Anita Assembly Center, through Jerome, Rohwer, Tule Lake camps, and the Santa Fe and Crystal City internment camps as well as their struggle for restoring their U.S. citizenships in the 1960s. The digital collection consists of mostly textual material, including correspondence, affidavits, incarceration camp records, lease agreements, financial documents, receipts, pamphlets, and booklets

Evaluation of creep, shrinkage and modulus of elasticity models for high strength concrete
No full textIn the literature and codes of practice, various equations are recommended for calculating typical material properties of compressive strength, elastic modulus, shrinkage strain and creep coefficient of concrete. The various equations are reported to give significantly different estimates leading to great uncertainty, particularly when estimating axial shortening of vertical concrete elements such as columns, cores and walls in a tall building that typically utilises high strength concrete. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the various equations from relevant concrete codes and literature used to estimate the material properties of both normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). Selected prediction equations are also compared to recent laboratory results from site delivered HSC
Sam "Kangaroo"
No full textabstract: Sam left Sudan when he was six years old. He also witnessed many people die when they tried to cross the Gilo river.
“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 23Region: Upper Nile (Bor)This picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

Izvori informacija u dostupnim EBSCO bazama podataka za istraživanja u visokom školstvu u Srbiji = Academic research in Serbia and available database resources
No full textUniversities in Serbia have access to large amounts of quality information through online full text databases. Specific details regarding the world’s two most comprehensive full text research data-bases, Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier are provided. The paper examines which databases are strongest in each discipline, and covers issues such as the availability of journals most-cited, full text formats, peer-review status, embargo periods, backfills, and other important facets. Additional information depicts reasons for tremendous increase in the availability of information in the Serbia, and the value that these resources bring to researchers in universities
