Component-Level Seismic Performance Assessment of Instrumented Super High-Rise Buildings under Bidirectional Long-Period Ground Motions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A detailed seismic performance assessment for super high-rise buildings is essential for decision-making on postearthquake repair, maintenance, and reoccupation. This paper proposes a probabilistic assessment framework for ...
Tracking Control of Robot Manipulator Using Sliding Mode Controller With Performance Robustness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The tracking control problem of robot manipulator is considered in this paper. A sliding mode controller design with global invariance is proposed using the concept of extended system and ...
SHM-Based Seismic Performance Assessment of High-Rise Buildings under Long-Period Ground Motion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Long-period ground motions from large-magnitude distant earthquakes can cause serious damage to high-rise buildings, even to those located in intraplate urban areas. Real-time monitoring and postearthquake performance ...
Traffic Load Simulation for Long-Span Suspension Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a procedure for simulating traffic loads for long-span suspension bridges based on the data recorded by the weigh-in-motion (WIM) system and the agent-based traffic flow microsimulation. The past traffic ...

Interdecadal Variations of the Silk Road Pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBased on several reanalysis and observational datasets, this study suggests that the Silk Road pattern (SRP), a major teleconnection pattern stretching across Eurasia in the boreal summer, shows clear interdecadal ...
Spectrum Models for Nonstationary Extreme Winds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonstationary extreme winds are responsible for many structural damages. However, empirical models are not available for these winds, especially for fluctuations, mainly due to the difficulties in mathematical treatments. ...
Discussion of “Generalized Flow Rating Equations at Prototype Gated Spillways” by Matahel Ansar and Zhiming Chen
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Governmental Interactive Strategies for Urban Real Estate Investment in China: An Analysis of the Promotion Tournament Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: China’s central government has chosen the real estate industry as a pillar industry for achieving rapid economic growth. Local city governments also generally enlarge their scales of urban real estate investment to boost ...
