portion is 15 cm deep (Figure 2). The above portion is casted while laying in-situ concrete over planks. The stirrups remain projected out of the precast joist. Thus‚ the total depth of the joist becomes 21 cm. The joist is designed as composite Tee-beam with 6 cm thick flange comprising of 3 cm precast and 3 cm in-situ concrete (Figure 3). This section of the joist can be adopted up to a span of 400 cm. For longer spans‚ the depth of the joist should be more and lifting would require simple chain

from the inside out‚ through the base of the ventricles. This involves large ammounts of muscle so the deflection is large. * The S wave shows the subsequent depolarisation of the rest of the ventricles upwards from the base of the ventricles. * The T wave represents repolarisation of the myocardium after systole is complete. This is a relatively slow process- hence the smooth curved deflection.

concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns and H-shaped steel beams under seismic loading‚ portal frame specimens were tested under constant vertical loads on columns and alternately repeated horizontal load. Experimental parameters were: axial load ratio (0.15‚ 0.3 and 0.5) and width-to-thickness ratio (21‚39 and 54). Ds factors which are the factor used in the seismic design practice in Japan‚ were calculated from the load-deflection curves of all specimens. It was observed that all specimens

Space Time Curvature In the real world‚ smooth‚ uniform motion is more an exception than a rule. Technically‚ any change in speed or direction is called acceleration (or deceleration)‚ which can thus mean slowing down as well as speeding up‚ or simply a redirection. Ordinarily‚ an observer in an accelerating frame of reference can perceive its motion. Passengers in a car‚ for example‚ fell themselves pressed backward if the car starts suddenly from a dead stop. Their awareness seems to imply that

1. a) Democritus reasoned that if matter could be infinitely divided‚ it was also subject to complete disintegration from which it can never be put back together. However‚ matter can be reintegrated. b) In Greek‚ the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos‚ a Greek word meaning uncuttable. All matter is composed of atoms‚ which are bits of matter too small to be seen. These atoms CANNOT be further split into smaller portions. 2. At

triple beam balance is a rugged‚ inexpensive weighing instrument. It is named for the three beams which carry weights. A. The middle beam reads only in 100 g increments. B. The far beam reads only in 10 g increments. The weights in each of these must always sit in a "notch". They cannot be placed at arbitrary points on the beam. C. The weight on the front beam can be placed to read continuously from 0 to 10 grams. The Triple Beam Balance is a typical mechanical balance. It has a beam which is
