Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFire Resistance Testing of a Timber-Glass Composite BeamJohan Sjöström, Marcin Kozłowski, Daniel Honfi et al.Glass structures have been increasingly utilised in modern construction for decades with load-bearing walls or facades as the most common elements. However, the use of glass beams has recently been given more attention but its application as load-bearing elements has been limited by the low tensile resistance, its brittle behaviour during failure and concerns of its performance in case of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2020 · 10,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCanonical Correlation-based Tests for the Agreement of Sensory PanelistsMarcela C Rocha, Eric B Ferreira, Daniel F FerreiraThe reliability of the results of sensory analysis is directly linked to the performance of panel of assessors what, in general, means the ability of judges to identify small differences between products, the replicability of their ratings for the same product and the panel consonance. The panel consonance - usually called unidimensionality - can be understood as the agreement between … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDynamic Reliability Analysis of Steel Moment Frames Using Monte Carlo TechniqueMajid Mahjoor Lotf AabadiDesigning of structures is the function of operation of them. However, operation of the structures depends on different uncertainties. In practical cases, uncertain parameters are simplified and formulated to certain parameters which are implemented in the designing approach. In this investigation, different structural parameters which bear with uncertainties including loading conditions, strength of materials and geometry of the structural elements … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2019 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStatistical Size and Power of Eight Normality Tests in Presence of GARCH (1 1) ErrorsJulio César Alonso, Daniela EstradaIn this work, we assess the power and size of eight normality tests underthe assumption that errors follow a GARCH (1, 1) process by using MonteCarlo simulations. Four results stand out. First, the presence of a GARCH(1, 1) process increases the probability of making type I error. Second, Pearsonnormality test is recommended if it is assumed that errors follow a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite

However, the impact of interactions between adjacent columns and between the columns and the surrounding soil has not been investigated thoroughly. In this study, the finite element software, PLAXIS-2D-V8.2, was used to simulate a stone column as a unit cell and as a plane strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2018 · 8,152 accessesView PDFCite
