Fatigue Behavior of Air-Entrained Concrete, HR-183, 1977

When a material fails under a number of repeated loads, each smaller than the ultimate static strength, a fatigue failure is said to have taken place. Many studies have been made to characterize the fatigue behavior of various engineering materials. The results of some of these studies have proved invaluable in the evaluation and prediction of the fatigue strength of structural materials. Considerable time and effort has gone into the evaluation of the fatigue behavior of metals. These early studies were motivated by practical considerations: The first fatigue tests were performed on materials that had been observed to fail after repeated loading of a magnitude less than that required for failure under the application of a single load. Mine-hoist chains, railway axles, and steam engine parts were among the first structural components to be recognized as exhibiting fatigue behavior. Since concrete is usually subjected to static loading rather than cyclic loading, need for knowledge of the fatigue behavior of concrete has lagged behind that of metals. One notable exception to this, however, is in the area of highway and airfield pavement design. Due to the fact that the fatigue behavior of concrete must be understood in the design of pavements and reinforced concrete bridges, highway engineers have provided the motivation for concrete fatigue studies since the 1920's.

O devir Clarice e o animal- escrita na literatura infantil

La escritura de Clarice Lispector fue consagrada por la academia a trav��s de sus libros direccionados al p��blico adulto . Este trabajo pretende entre sus objetivos compartir sus obras infantiles con el medio acad��mico y desvincular, desde la escritura clariciana, el ��mbito de una menoridad literaria de la literatura infantil. Repensar la infancia y problematizar sus lugares de escrita. De ese modo, el corpus te��rico de las obras de Deleuze y Guattari nos conducir�� en la desconstrucci��n de tales territorios hacia un desterritorializar y al reterritorializar de la literatura infantil a trav��s de un reinvento narrativo clariciano, lo cual llamamos de F��bula de la Modernidad

La costruzione moderna a Bologna 1920 - 1940

Il presente lavoro di ricerca si inserisce all���interno degli ambiti di interesse del settore disciplinare dell���ICAR 10 ��� Architettura Tecnica, rappresentato dalla Storia della costruzione. In questo quadro, lo studio sulla Costruzione Moderna a Bologna tra il 1920 e il 1940, costituisce un tassello di una ricerca pi�� ampia ed intesa a delineare l���importanza assunta dalla vicenda bolognese nel definire il profilo teorico ed applicativo della tecnica in cemento armato nella genesi del linguaggio architettonico che connota l���esperienza del Modernismo italiano degli anni trenta. La ricaduta pi�� diretta della ricerca �� rintracciabile nella creazione di una base informativa ipertestuale strutturata secondo diversi livelli di lettura tra loro correlati: la localizzazione, i progettisti e le imprese costruttrici, l���anno di realizzazione, la tipologia, le tecniche costruttive impiegate, la storia dell���edificio, le trasformazioni, la localizzazione della documentazione e le fonti bibliografiche, con collegamenti ipertestuali che consentono di consultare il materiale documentario. Gli esiti di tale studio hanno una duplice finalit��: da un lato tale lavoro restituisce una mappatura analitica del patrimonio edilizio costruito nel ventennio analizzato, consentendo una registrazione sintetica ma puntuale delle fonti archivistiche e dei relativi apparati documentali. Un lavoro di supporto indispensabile per ogni futura ricerca intesa ad indagare le singole vicende che hanno accompagnato lo sviluppo edilizio della citt�� di Bologna. In seconda istanza questo studio consente di porre in luce l���importanza assunta dai magisteri tecnici nel definire le scelte di ordine architettonico, ovvero di evidenziare come la conoscenza della storia materiale degli edifici induca a formulare una valutazione pi�� appropriata e stringente sugli esiti architettonici conseguiti, superando cos�� l���astrattezza di una interpretazione votata ai soli aspetti figurativi.

Advertisement and society in graphic magazine: La Esfera (1920-1930)

In the first third of the 20th century, Spain entered into modernity thanks to the positive state of its economic, cultural and social domains after the First World War. The objective of this article is to understand the role of artistic advertisements in the transformation of Spanish society that occurred during the decade of the ���20s. My study of the illustrated magazine La Esfera has revealed that illustrated advertisements spread fashion, fostered sports and outdoors life, created the habit of smoking among women and had an educational influence that was powerful enough to change hygienic practices among children.

A History of Eating in Sao Paulo (1920 to 1950)

This paper proposes a way to analyze the history of eating in Sao Paulo (Brazil) between 1920 and 1950. It addresses the relative absence of research on this topic for this period characterized by the rapid expansion of the city, which became a key market, an important regulator of consumption habits, and a meeting place for diverse social groups. An abundance of sources makes it possible to undertake a social history of eating. On the one hand, intellectuals of different backgrounds and interests produced a good deal of work on popular food habits. On the other, the article points to the possibility of using lifestyle studies and surveys on eating habits from this period in order to gain insight into the lives of different sectors of the population.

Canonical discriminant analysis applied to broiler chicken performance

The mechanisms involved in the control of growth in chickens are too complex to be explained only under univariate analysis because all related traits are biologically correlated. Therefore, we evaluated broiler chicken performance under a multivariate approach, using the canonical discriminant analysis. A total of 1920 chicks from eight treatments, defined as the combination of four broiler chicken strains (Arbor Acres, AgRoss 308, Cobb 500 and RX) from both sexes, were housed in 48 pens. Average feed intake, average live weight, feed conversion and carcass, breast and leg weights were obtained for days 1 to 42. Canonical discriminant analysis was implemented by SAS((R)) CANDISC procedure and differences between treatments were obtained by the F-test (P < 0.05) over the squared Mahalanobis` distances. Multivariate performance from all treatments could be easily visualised because one graph was obtained from two first canonical variables, which explained 96.49% of total variation, using a SAS((R)) CONELIP macro. A clear distinction between sexes was found, where males were better than females. Also between strains, Arbor Acres, AgRoss 308 and Cobb 500 (commercial) were better than RX (experimental), Evaluation of broiler chicken performance was facilitated by the fact that the six original traits were reduced to only two canonical variables. Average live weight and carcass weight (first canonical variable) were the most important traits to discriminate treatments. The contrast between average feed intake and average live weight plus feed conversion (second canonical variable) were used to classify them. We suggest analysing performance data sets using canonical discriminant analysis.

Asthma mortality in Australia 1920-94: Age, period, and cohort effects

Study objective-To investigate asthma mortality during 1920-94 in Australia in order to assess the relative role of period and birth cohort effects. Design-Asthma mortality (both sexes) was age standardised and examined for changes over time. The data were also examined for age, period, and cohort (APC) effects using Poisson regression modelling. Setting-National Australian mortality data. Participants-Population (both sexes) aged 15-34 years, 1920-94. Main results-Age adjusted period rates indicate an increase in asthma mortality during the 1950s, and increases and subsequent falls (epidemics) during the mid 1960s and late 1980s. APC modelling suggested an increasing cohort effect (adjusted for both age and period) from the birth cohort 1950-54 onwards. Period effects (adjusted for age and cohort) are characterised by an increase in the 1950s (possibly due to changes in diagnostic labelling), minimal or no increases in the mid 1960s and late 1980s (where period peaks had been noted when data were adjusted for age only), and declines in mortality risk subsequent to the periods where age-period analysis had noted increases. Thus, in Australia, some of the mid 1960s epidemic in asthma deaths, and all of the late 1980s mortality increase, seem to be attributable to cohort effects. Conclusions-The increase in asthma mortality cohort effect is consistent with empirical evidence of recent increases in prevalence (and presumably incidence) of asthma in Australia, and suggests the need for more research into the underlying environmental aetiology of this condition.
