Students, employers and other stakeholders expect universities to help students maximise their potential to find suitable work, that is, to maximise their employability. Yet, employment outcomes for...
View ArticleCan BAC treatment mitigate microfiltration membrane fouling in wastewater...
Biologically treated secondary effluent (BTSE) is a good target for water reclamation as municipal wastewater provides a continuous source. The application of microfiltration for the reclamation of...
View ArticlePlastic hinge length in reinforced concrete flexural members
For reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members, the plastic deformation is localized in a small zone namely the plastic hinge zone after the yielding of the member. The performance of the plastic hinge...
