Abstract: Replaceable links for eccentrically braced steel frames (EBFs) decouple the yielding links from the floor beams to facilitate rapid repair or replacement after a seismic event. Replaceable links that are composed of rolled ...

Abstract: The vibration of a single-story frame with bilinear hysteresis supporting a rotating machine is analyzed. The excitation force caused by the rotating unbalanced mass of the machine has a frequency ...

Abstract: The complex mixture of gaseous compounds directly above the dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit of a wastewater treatment plant is simultaneously scrubbed through four filter columns, each filled with a commercial grade of ...

Abstract: When bored piles are installed through a jet grout layer, significant interaction may take place between the piles and the jet grout. Field load tests have indicated that significant enhancement of the pile shaft capacity ...

Abstract: The effect of uncertainty in the system parameters on the reliability of domestic-waste biofilm reactors is investigated. Based on typical ranges and default values reported in published literature, a representative set ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a comparison between computed and measured motions and thether forces for a deep‐water tension leg platform. The computations are compared with model experiments which have been conducted in both ...
