RISDesign Analysis for Buckling of Tanks and Silos
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When subject to combinations of internal pressure and axial compression, experience shows that the often thin cylindrical shell walls of tanks and silos are prone to a local form of buckling failure that is essentially ...
Extending Koiter’s Simplified Equations to Shells of Arbitrary Closed Cross Section
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The techniques used by Koiter in 1968 to derive a simplified set of linear equilibrium equations for an elastically isotropic circular cylindrical shell in terms of displacements and the ...

Schedule ‘Games’ People Play, and Some Suggested ‘Remedies’
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The intended purpose of construction scheduling is to assist with proper planning and coordination of a project. All too frequently, construction schedules are used primarily to help build claims against project owners. ...
Process Plant Noise Control at the Design Engineering Stage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Effective noise control actions have to be taken in the preliminary definition and engineering design stages of major capital projects. Government legislation and public sentiment have virtually ...
Building Structural Failures—Their Cause and Prevention
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many recent collapses of U.S. buildings have occurred both during construction and following occupancy. Such failures have received professional and public attention due to the attendant major losses of life and property. ...
Codes, Standards, and Institutions—Pressures for Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding the U.S. building regulatory system and the roles of standards and their development organizations is essential to the introduction of new products or practices and to the improvement of the building regulatory ...
Cloud Condensation Nuclei Measurements Within Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the spectra of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) within and near the boundaries of clouds are presented. Some of the in-cloud measurements excluded the nuclei within cloud droplets; these are interstitial CCN ...
Correlation Between Surface and Cloud Base CCN Spectra in Montana
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) Aerosol Measurement Program, airborne grab samples and simultaneous nearby continuous surface measurements of CCN spectra were compared. A strong ...
Modification of the Marine Layer over Coastal Southern California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The modification and eventual destruction of the marine layer by heating from below is documented by measuring the temperature and humidity fields in a vertical section from the coast of Southern California inland along ...
