Abstract: This paper outlines the subjective and quantitative outcomes of the introduction of the flipped classroom approach to two engineering subjects at the University of Melbourne. In this approach, lectures are delivered online ...

Abstract: Together with axial and flexural actions, modern-designed reinforced-concrete walls can also be subjected to torsion during rare loading events, such as large-magnitude earthquakes or strong winds. For certain widely used ...
