Experimental Resistance and Available Ductility of Steel-Plate Composite Walls in One-Way Bending
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program in which eight one-third-scale steel-plate composite (SC) wall sections were tested in four-point bending to ultimate failure (tension faceplate rupture). All ...
Experimental Evaluation of Steel-Plate Composite Walls Subject to Blast Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel-plate composite (SC) walls consist of a concrete infill sandwiched between two steel faceplates. The faceplates are anchored to the concrete using stud anchors or ties, and connected to each other using steel tie ...
Analysis and Design of One-Way Steel-Plate Composite Walls for Far-Field Blast Effects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the development of normalized total force-total impulse (P-I) diagrams for analyzing and designing steel-plate composite (SC) walls to resist far-field blast loads. The P-I diagrams depict contours of ...
Model Clouds over Oceans as Seen from Space: Comparison with HIRS/2 and MSU Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiation observations are a key element in the evaluation of the 40-yr reanalysis at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. This paper uses the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder/2 (HIRS/2) and ...
The Transpose-AMIP II Experiment and Its Application to the Understanding of Southern Ocean Cloud Biases in Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Transpose-Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) is an international model intercomparison project in which climate models are run in ?weather forecast mode.? The Transpose-AMIP II experiment is run alongside ...
ARM Research In The Equatorial Western Pacific: A Decade And Counting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cal western Pacific (TWP) is an important climatic region. Strong solar heating, warm sea surface temperatures, and the annual progression of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) across this region generate abundant ...
Simulations of a Cold Front by Cloud-Resolving, Limited-Area, and Large-Scale Models, and a Model Evaluation Using In Situ and Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment has identified the poor representation of clouds in atmospheric general circulation models as one of the major impediments for the use of these models in reliably predicting ...
FIRE Arctic Clouds Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An overview is given of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment Arctic Clouds Experiment that was conductedduring April?July 1998. The principal goal of the field experiment was to gather the data needed to examine the impactof ...
Tropical and Subtropical Cloud Transitions in Weather and Climate Prediction Models: The GCSS/WGNE Pacific Cross-Section Intercomparison (GPCI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: model evaluation approach is proposed in which weather and climate prediction models are analyzed along a Pacific Ocean cross section, from the stratocumulus regions off the coast of California, across the shallow convection ...
