Over the years, structural engineering codes and specifications in Canada and elsewhere have moved from an allowable stress design (ASD) approach to a load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy. LRFD methodology takes better account of the inher...

Increased pressure and shear stress distributions at the limb?socket interface are hypothesised to result from changes in the residual limb shape and volume, which can cause socket fit difficulties. Accurate residual limb volume measurements may aid clin...

In sediment mechanics, the conditions for the onset of sediment movement are of particular importance. However, despite decades of research, questions remain unanswered. Thus, physical logic suggests that sediments move more easily on beds inclined in th...
