Tidigare forskning visade på att ledarskapsstilarna i CPE-modellen (Change-, Production- & Employee-centered leadership) är olika effektiva.

Shear failures in reinforced concrete beams are complex problems that depend on many different mechanisms, such as aggregate interlock and dowel effect. This makes the prediction of shear failures difficult as they are not strictly tied to the material and depend on other factors including the size of the beam. In particular the height of the concrete cross section plays a role in the amount of sh
