Abstract: Resistance against earthquake-related liquefaction is usually assessed using relationships between an index of soil strength such as normalized cone tip resistance and the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) developed from ...

Abstract: The general perception of construction projects is that they are more likely to be completed late than early or on‐time. In truth, some projects are delivered early due to unusually favorable weather, contractor‐suggested ...

Abstract: techniques. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, laminar and turbulent flows, reacting flows, compressible and incompressible flows, and non-Newtonian flows. The symposium is led by Subrata Roy from...

Abstract: A few variance reduction schemes are proposed within the broad framework of a particle filter as applied to the problem of structural system identification. Whereas the first scheme uses a directional descent step, possibly ...

Abstract: This paper presents the effect of eccentricity and surface roughness on the probabilistic performance of two axial groove hydrodynamic journal bearing. In general, it is difficult to quantify experimentally the variabilities ...
