Abstract: he tropopause inversion layer (TIL) is a region of enhanced static stability just above the WMO-defined thermal tropopause. It is a ubiquitous feature in midlatitudes and is well characterized by observations. However, it ...

Abstract: AbstractThe impact of anthropogenic climate change on water resources and flood and drought risk is of great interest for impact modeling and to inform adaptation strategies. Here an analysis of hydroclimatic changes in ...

Abstract: The development of cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology has opened up new opportunities for low-density hardwood species, which have traditionally not been rated as construction-grade materials for structural engineering ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new alternative energy dissipation solution to be used with cross-laminated timber (CLT) self-centering walls. CLT is a relatively new building product in North America and could potentially be used ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a testing program developed to assess the performance of circular RC bridge columns constructed with

Abstract: This paper presents a new alternative energy dissipation solution to be used with cross-laminated timber (CLT) self-centering walls. CLT is a relatively new building product in North America and could potentially be used ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a testing program developed to assess the performance of circular RC bridge columns constructed with ASTM A706 Grade 80 [550] high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcement. Two pairs of columns ...

Abstract: Connections in mass timber structural systems are critical for transferring lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls and diaphragms. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent mass timber material used ...

Abstract: Timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors are becoming more commonly used in mass timber construction due to their increased stiffness and strength relative to nonconcrete composite timber floors. Current building codes do ...
