INFLUENCE OF THE INTERNAL FRICTION RESISTANCE ON THE VERTICAL COMPRESSIVE BEARING CAPACITY OF LARGE-DIAMETER STEEL PIPE PILES

Influence of the Internal Friction Resistance on the Vertical Compressive Bearing Capacity of Large-Diameter Steel Pipe Piles

Current calculation methods for the vertical bearing capacity of steel pipe piles are predominantly designed for smaller diameters and do not account for the soil inside the pile.This necessitates an evaluation of their applicability to piles with diameters exceeding 2.0 m.This study aims to refine the existing formula for calculating vertical bear

Drivers of Discretionary Firm Donations in Brazil

Discretionary firm donation is usually related to the stakeholder theory and corporate social performance.Although theoretical explanations for this social behavior are pervasive in related literature, empirical modeling remains underdeveloped.We developed an explanatory structural model of discretionary firm donation using firm and industry level

Common Variable Immunodeficiency Non-Infectious Disease Endotypes Redefined Using Unbiased Network Clustering in Large Electronic Datasets

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is increasingly recognized for its association with autoimmune and inflammatory complications.Despite recent advances in immunophenotypic and genetic discovery, clinical care of CVID remains limited by our inability to accurately model risk for non-infectious disease development.Herein, we demonstrate the uti
