Single-span, Continuous and Slender Deep Beams Made of High Strength Concrete
(1994)
The current design recommendations for concrete deep beams given in the ACI Code, Canadian Code, CEB-FIP Model Code, CIRIA Guide-2, etc., are based on research results on normal strength concrete. As such, these design ...
Provenancing of Hominid and Mammalian Fossils from Kanjera, Kenya, using EDXRF
(University of Nairobi, 1994)
We describe a rapid, non-destructive energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique for provenancing fossil bone, and apply it to surface collected fossils from Kanjera, Kenya. The locality is best known for its ...
