Na rota dos festivais: uma tradição que se renova by Andréa Betânia da Silva

“…Orality is an advantageous space to the development of research and thinking that aims at altering, or at least re-thinking, theoretical bases that seem quite strong. In this aim, the present article looks at a trajectory established in Northeast Brazil’s improvised singing, more specifically the universe of poetic match, coming from the “pés de parede” (simple matches) to the festivals of guitar players that spread themselves through Northeast Brazil, aiming to realize that cultural contexts gave birth, if not to invention, at least the renewal of a tradition.…”

Experimental Study to Determine the Failure Criteria of Concrete at Its Early-Age by Hongyan Ding, Lei Zhang, Puyang Zhang

“…The failure criteria and the constitutive relation of materials for an early-age concrete are the most common reasons to conduct the nonlinear analysis and to assess the concrete structures during the construction stage. The delay of theoretical advancement in this field resulted into a mismatch between the rough theories and the advanced algorithms, which were adopted for the estimation and analysis of early-age concrete structures. …”
