Abstract: Thermal stresses are frequently used to camber steel beams or repair damage caused by plastic deformation. A local concentration of heat is applied to part of the structure. The heated steel expands, but expansion is ...

Abstract: A technique for estimating the low-level wind field from satellite photographs of cumuliform cellular cloud patterns is presented. This technique applies to areas of such patterns, which are frequently photographed behind ...

Abstract: The elastohydrodynamic lubrication of two rollers in combined rolling and sliding is considered. A simple rheological model to predict the traction is presented. The model is based upon an ...

Abstract: Seismic tests on a full‐scale six‐story steel building have been conducted as part of the U.S.‐Japan Joint Research Program. The first phase of this research includes extensive tests on a concentrically braced frame, and ...

Abstract: A 10-m-deep multipropped excavation in the overconsolidated and fissured gault clay has been monitored. Unusual features of the field monitoring were to measure strut loads and earth pressures as well as wall deflections ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of many soils such as stiff clays depends on their current effective-stress states and stress history. For improving design and analysis of soil-structure interaction associated with deep excavations ...
