RISBuilding Information Modeling Adoption, Implementation, and Challenges in the Ethiopian Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study will investigate the current state of building information modeling (BIM) adoption, implementation, and challenges in the Ethiopian construction industry. Initially, various models for BIM adoption and implementation ...
Blast Limits for Transmission Structures. II: Structural Response and Blast Limit Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To ensure power transmission safety, loss of structural integrity of critical transmission facilities due to extreme events, such as strong ground motions induced by blasting, should be avoided. This research intends to ...
Blast Limits for Transmission Structures. I: Response Spectra Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To develop a defense strategy to protect power transmission lines against blast-induced ground motions, an understanding of the dynamic responses of these structures must be first established. This paper presents the results ...
Dynamic Analysis of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines under Thunderstorm Downbursts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wind turbines are among the fastest-growing technologies for producing sustainable energy. Although numerous studies have been carried out to investigate the dynamic behavior of wind turbines exposed to synoptic winds, the ...
