The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…Using high-resolution bathymetry and seismic reflection data, we report the discovery of new N294°E-striking shear zones, oblique to the plate fabric. These shear zones are expressed by sets of normal faults striking at N335°E, defining the direction of the principal compressional stress in the region. …”

Impact of structural eurocodes on steel and composite structures by Jin, Y. F., Cai, Y. Q., Chiew, Sing Ping, Lee, Chi King

“…It is found that the flexural buckling resistance, web bearing and buckling resistance and lateral-torsional buckling resistance determined from Eurocodes 3 and 4 are much larger than those from BS5950. However, for shear buckling resistance of plated structures, Eurocode 3 produced a lower value compared to BS5950, and for shear resistance of headed stud, Eurocode 4 produced a lower value compared to BS5950-3.1.…”

Singapore Shipping Trust. by Goh, Wei Qin., Lee, Suat Cheng., Tan, Li Ping.

“…We also explore the shipping trusts’ financial performance through comparison with the Singapore market, as well as with Singapore REITs, Singapore shipping stocks and their foreign peers. Results from CAPM show presence of risk-adjusted returns for the equal-weighted shipping trust portfolio in the before-subprime period, indicating the attractiveness of shipping trusts during better economic conditions. …”

Non-slipping adhesive contact between dissimilar elastic solids under normal and tangential loads by Ma, L, Chen, Y, Hills, DA

“…Specifically, (i) the shear-off force of adhesive contact is proposed; (ii) the effect of tangential load on the puff-off force is presented; (iii) the influence of the normal load on the shear-off force is obtained; (iv) in the context of these results, the nominal static friction coefficient is defined and analyzed, and it is shown that the static friction coefficient is a function of external normal load, which can well explain some experimental results in the literature. …”
