Abstract: A simple mathematical model representing the full three‐dimensional linear elastic response of multistory building systems with horizontal rigid‐body floors subjected to multicomponent earthquake excitations is presented. ...

Abstract: An engineering methodology is developed to build hazard curves to evaluate the probability of flood-induced overtopping of barriers in watershed-reservoir-dam systems. The probable maximum precipitation in the watershed ...

Abstract: In this investigation, a two-dimensional time-domain closed-form mathematical model for the hydrodynamic forces on the upstream vertical face of a given rigid dam subjected to a specified horizontal ground motion accelerogram ...

Abstract: This investigation introduces the formulation of a new closed-form representation of the evolution of the relative compressive strength of a class of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) materials hydrated under saturated ...

Abstract: The critical hydraulic configuration for a set of torque-tube gates controlling the flow through the navigable portion of a spillway was experimentally identified. In this paper, an analytical model for the upstream pressure ...

Abstract: Examination of previous research on the collapse behavior of conventional plate girders with slender webs in shear indicates that the major contributions to the ultimate load capacity of component panels are provided by ...

Abstract: This paper describes a mathematical model leading to experimental analysis to estimate the hydraulic forces on a prototype edge-hinged panel (wicket gate) in gradually varied flow. The two-dimensional potential theory of ...

Abstract: Economical heat‐straightening operations on damaged elements in heavy steel construction require the accurate estimation of the number of heat applications necessary to effect a given repair. An experimental program to ...

Abstract: Addressing the need to estimate the number of vec heat applications required to repair a specified degree of damage in heat‐straightening operations, an experimental program using steel flat plates under controlled conditions ...
