Abstract: This paper presents a qualitative description of structural damage in aboveground steel tanks in oil refineries and facilities, which were observed during reconnaissance missions to the states of Texas and Louisiana following ...

Abstract: This paper reports on a controlled experiment carried out to investigate the differences between novices and experts during the review of papers for engineering journals. A total of 17 young faculty members with PhD degrees ...

Abstract: An approximate analysis of end supported, thin‐walled prismatic members of open profile section to predict buckling loads under dead weight and water loading is presented. When the critical buckling mode involves considerable ...

Abstract: This paper reports on an initiative to strengthen the research activities of engineering faculty at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. As a specific objective, the project attempts to improve the number and quality ...

Abstract: A simple analytical solution for the buckling and postbuckling behavior of elastic thin-walled angle cross section beams under liquid loading is presented. The main assumptions made concern the one-dimensional modeling of ...

Abstract: This note reports results of two tests performed on full-scale thin-walled prestressed concrete beams where the increase in external load is caused by changing the water level contained in the beam section. The purpose of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new micro-macro approach for the thermo-microstructural behavior of the solidification process of an eutectic ductile cast iron. The thermal balance is written at a macroscopic ...

Abstract: This work deals with the overall flexural instability of an angle section column under axial load, taking into account deformations of the cross section as buckling occurs. A nonlinear differential formulation with two ...
