Abstract: The concept of inelastic response spectra is now well recognized. The inelastic response spectra can be generated from the peak ground motion parameters by employing amplification factors and deamplification factors. The ...

Abstract: An iterative frequency domain method for determining the response of articulated towers to first order wave and current induced forces is presented. The application of the method is illustrated ...

Abstract: A frequency domain iterative method is proposed to solve the non‐linear dynamic equation of motion encountered in the dynamic analysis of offshore structures under regular and random waves. The nonlinearities due to the ...

Abstract: The physical characteristics, proximate analysis, elemental analysis and chemical analysis of paddy husk, an important renewable source of energy, are reported in this paper. The kinetic parameters ...

Abstract: The fundamental frequency of guyed tower platforms is designed to be low, and, therefore, it is susceptible to low-frequency excitation caused by fluctuating components of the wind velocity. The ...

Abstract: The paper presents the hysteresis behavior of axially loaded reinforced concrete bracing members. The object was to study the reduction in stiffness in relation to the number of cycles and the energy dissipation capacity. ...

Abstract: Tension leg platforms (TLPs) are compliant-type offshore structures generally used for deepwater oil/gas exploration. Dynamic analysis of three triangular TLP models under regular waves is presented, considering the coupling ...

Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in a semiarid region of Punjab state, northwest India, for 2 years to evaluate an efficient irrigation schedule for guava under mulch and no-mulch conditions. The experiment involved ...

Abstract: Megaconstruction projects (MCPs) have many beneficial impacts on urban development, such as the creation of infrastructure for other industries, economic development, and employment generation. Global spending on MCPs ...
