Abstract: It is impractical in the dynamic analysis of pipelines to consider the whole length of the pipe in a numerical model. Therefore, a minimum length is desired for the pipe model so that its midpoint responses are not affected ...

Abstract: In this paper, a methodology is proposed for identifying the best equations for estimating the time of concentration (ToC) of watersheds located in a specific geographic region. The methodology primarily works on the basis ...

Abstract: To enhance energy dissipation and prevent buckling in concentrically braced frames (CBFs), steel yielding dampers have been suggested, however, most of them have drawbacks, including differing tension-compression behaviors, ...
