Abstract: This study replaces the auxiliary structures on the surface of high-rise buildings with vertical rough strips. Turbulent wind fields in the atmospheric boundary layer are generated using the narrow band synthesis random ...

Abstract: A linear damped hybrid (continuous/discrete components) model is developed in this paper to characterize the dynamic behavior of serpentine belt drive systems. Both internal material damping and ...

Abstract: The use of construction waste as a subgrade backfill material is a very promising approach to solve the problems of the rapidly increasing amount of construction waste and the shortage of construction materials. This paper ...
