RISCompound Strip Method for Analysis of Plate Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite strip method (FSM) is developed for the analysis of linear elastic flat plate systems that are continuous over, deflecting supports. The approach presented incorporates the effect of the support elements in a ...
Models of the Upper Atmosphere for a Wide Range of Boundary Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present a simple analytic model of the upper atmosphere which gives the composition, density, and temperature of the neutral atmosphere, as a function of altitude, for a wide range of conditions at the reference altitude ...
<i>PRACTITIONERS' FORUM: Rating Factor Computations for Shear-Moment Interaction Using AASHTO LRFD</i>
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Linking Civil Engineering Design and Drafting Software via IGES
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Methodology for integrating application design programs and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) packages is presented. Application of the methodology enables the automatic translation of the final design information into ...
System for Bridge Management in a Rural Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A system is presented for the cityor county-level management of bridges located in Wyoming. Although the research work was directly focused on the state of Wyoming, the consideration involved in the system development, the ...
The Inner Shelf Response to Wind-Driven Upwelling and Downwelling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model is used to study the response to upwelling- and downwelling-favorable winds on a shelf with a strong pycnocline. During upwelling or downwelling, the pycnocline intersects the surface or ...
Drifter Behavior on the Oregon–Washington Shelf during Downwelling-Favorable Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drifters released offshore of Oregon during predominantly downwelling favorable alongshore winds during three different deployments (October 1994, January 1998, and September 1998) display similar behavior: after being ...
Compound Strip Method for Continuous Sector Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite strip method is developed for the analysis of linear elastic curved plate systems that are continuous over non‐rigid supports. This approach incorporates the effect of the support elements in a direct stiffness ...
Unique Truck Loads on Interstates in Wyoming and Similar States and the Impact on Bridge Safety Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interstate 80 (I-80) through Wyoming carries a large volume of cross-continental trucks and large energy-industry trucks compared to many other states. Moreover, frequent weather closures position trucks side-by-side and ...
Carrier Phase GPS-Aided INS-Based Vehicle Lateral Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the design, analysis, and implementation of a vehicle control system using control state information obtained from a carrier phase (CP) differential global positioning system ...
