Seismic Displacement of 3D Slope Reinforced by Piles with Nonlinear Failure Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic displacement estimation of soil slopes was generally focused on the plane strain assumption with a linear Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. In engineering, slope stability often becomes more of a three-dimensional ...
Monitoring Structural Performance of a Supertall Building during 14 Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field measurements of wind effects on a 42-meter-high supertall building in Hong Kong were analyzed during the passages of 14 tropical cyclone (TC) events, from 28 to 216, with a total recording time duration of 36 h. ...
Seismic Design for Bridges with Short Piers in High Earthquake Intensity Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aimed at short bridge piers that are vulnerable to brittle shear failure in high earthquake intensity zones, seismic design countermeasures for bridges with short piers were put forward in combination with the Guidelines ...
A Regional Ensemble Prediction System Based on Moist Targeted Singular Vectors and Stochastic Parameter Perturbations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional ensemble prediction system (REPS) with the limited-area version of the Canadian Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model at 15-km horizontal resolution is developed and tested. The total energy norm singular ...
Estimation of Relative Permeability and Capillary Pressure for PUNQ-S3 Model Using a Modified Iterative Ensemble Smoother
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The iterative ensemble smoother (IES) algorithm has been extensively used to implicitly and inversely determine model parameters by assimilating measured/reference production profiles. The performance of the IES algorithms ...
An Overview of the Beijing 2008 Olympics Research and Development Project (B08RDP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ng 2008 Olympics Research and Development Project (B08RDP), initiated in 2004 under the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), undertook the research and development of mesoscale ...
