Implementation of a tension-stiffening model for the cracking nonlinear analy...Luis Claudio P辿rez Tato
油
This document presents the implementation of a tension-stiffening model for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete elements in finite element software XC. The model improves crack evaluation by treating cracking as a material behavior and incorporates the tension-stiffening effect to enhance stiffness in cracked members. Numerical results from the program align closely with existing design outcomes, validating its effectiveness for crack amplitude analysis according to Eurocode standards.

DB2 for z/OS is well-suited for managing big data due to its ability to scale, high availability, strong security, and high performance. It has supported some of the largest databases and workloads in the world. Migrating to DB2 10 for z/OS provides improvements like reduced CPU usage, more concurrency, and online changes without downtime. DB2 for z/OS also has a long history and maturity as a mission-critical database.
Hiroshi Sugimoto had a vision of photographing an entire movie in a single frame. To realize this vision, he secretly brought a large-format camera into a cheap cinema and left the shutter open for the entire two hour movie. After developing the film, his vision "exploded behind his eyes" as he had captured the entire movie in a single frame with intermittent flashes of light and darkness. Sugimoto feels a sense of security and calmness when viewing the sea, as if returning to his ancestral home.

Isbank initiated a DB2 for z/OS project in 2007 with two System z9 EC machines running z/OS 1.7 and DB2 V8. They installed DB2 V8 with Turkish codepage support, enabled one-way and two-way data sharing, attended training, and explored DB2 functionality. They developed a test environment with 5 data sharing groups and 4 members each and a production environment with 1 data sharing group and 4 members. They implemented a new core banking Java application using DB2 and explored performance monitoring and tuning techniques.
This document discusses the concept of total customer orientation. It argues that focusing on customer values through understanding customers, targeting them with appropriate value propositions, and gaining/retaining customers at the moment of truth requires a paradigm shift in companies. The document outlines key processes for total customer orientation including understanding customer values, targeting specific customer segments, and tracking effectiveness. It also discusses how total customer orientation must involve an organization's culture, technology, strategy and processes to implement properly and notes that while sophisticated, the approach can be pragmatic and rapidly pay off, especially for specialty and commodity chemicals.
