The tension failure loads predicted by the CCD method fits experimental results over a wide range of embedment depth (e.g. 100 – 600 mm). [2] Anchor load bearing capacity provided by ACI 349 does not consider size effect, thus an underestimated value for the load-carrying capacity is obtained for large embedment depths.
Foreign Correspondent is a 1940 American black-and-white spy thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It tells the story of an American reporter based in Britain who tries to expose enemy spies involved in a fictional continent-wide conspiracy in the prelude to World War II.

For this reasons, the size effect on the strength in brittle failures of concrete structures and structural laminates has long been ignored. Then, however, the failure probability, which is required to be < 10 − 6 {\displaystyle <10^{-6}} , and actually does have such values for normal-size structures, may become for very large structures as ...

In April 2007, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) began referring to the flooding as the worst engineering catastrophe in US history. [15] On 1 June 2007, the American Society of Civil Engineers issued its External Peer Review (ERP) report, [ 16 ] the peer review of the Corps-sponsored IPET and also an accompanying press release.

The 2023 United Kingdom reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete crisis relates to increased safety concerns over reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, commonly used historically in roofing and wall construction within the public sector, having gained popularity in the mid-1950s as a cheaper and more lightweight alternative to conventional reinforced concrete.
A Bailey Bridge was in place over the gap within 6 weeks and a full replacement of the three spans was opened in December 1973. [34] West Side Elevated Highway: New York City: United States 15 December 1973: Poor maintenance and overloading No casualties Single span collapse, which caused the closure and eventual demolition of most of the highway.
