Published 2000-01-01This report presents the results of 11 compression tests performed on cold-Formed, inline galvanised, slender 50x50x2.5 DuraGal equal angles. The angles were tested between pinned ends and loaded axially with eccentric ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Deep Penetration of Strip and Circular Footings into Layered Clays (No. R807)
Published 2001-01-01The bearing behaviour of footings on layered soils has received significant attention from researchers, but most of the reported studies are limited to footings resting on the surface of the soil and are based on the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Design of Steel Equal Angle Lintels (No. R890)
Published 2008-01-01Single equal angle steel beams are often used as lintels to support eccentric loading acting normal to one flange. This loading causes combined biaxial bending and torsion, which is not allowed for in most steel design ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Determination of accidental forklift truck impact forces on drive-in steel rack structures (No. R902)
Published 2009-01-01The report addresses the problem of determining the accidental forklift truck impact forces on steel storage racks. Based on first principles of mechanics, simple models of a loaded forklift truck and a drive-in racking ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Effects of Wind-Induced Building Motion on Cognitive Performance (No. R804)
Published 2000-01-01Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of wind-induced building motion on cognitive performance. This was done with particular reference to determining whether there was a decrement in ...Open AccessReport, Research -
The ensemble approach to forecasting: A review and synthesis
Published 2021Ensemble forecasting is a modeling approach that combines data sources, models of different types, with alternative assumptions, using distinct pattern recognition methods. The aim is to use all available information in ...Open AccessArticle -
