Abstract: In this note, the transfer matrix method is adopted to deduce general expressions for the components of the stiffness matrix and equivalent node load vector of nonprismatic members, and the effect of warping is not considered. ...

Abstract: A theoretical model to simulate the sediment concentration distribution for debris flow with a high concentration is presented by means of the maximum entropy principle, which is a new approach. The result shows that a ...

Abstract: Theoretical investigation is presented for the along‐wind motion of a multistory building under random wind load excitation, taking into account the effect of soil compliancy under the footing. Assuming that the super‐structure ...

Abstract: Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are well-known indoor pollutants and are one of the top risks to human health. In this study, we chose commercial activated carbon (CAC) as adsorbents, which are used widely for the removal ...
