Abstract: The effects of interaction with surrounding liquid on the dynamic behavior of a row of circular cylinders are studied analytically. First the hydrodynamic forces associated with cylinder motions ...

Abstract: The problem of two parallel circular cylinders vibrating in a liquid is studied analytically. First, the equations of motion including fluid coupling are derived using the added mass concept. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method for evaluating the hydrodynamic masses of a group of circular cylinders immersed in a fluid contained in a cylinder. The analysis is based on the ...

Abstract: A rate‐independent constitutive model is proposed for the behavior of concrete in multiaxial cyclic compression. The material composite is assumed to experience a continuous damage process under load histories. The model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a practical analytical approach to evaluating the long-term and set-up shaft resistance of prebored piles. The key contributions of this study lie in the fact that not only all aspects involved, from ...

Abstract: To evaluate the shear lag effect of a single-box multi-cell girder with corrugated steel webs objectively and accurately, the shear lag warping displacement function of a box girder with corrugated steel webs was proposed. ...

Abstract: The objectives of project control systems go beyond documentation to recognition of problems and evaluation of their causes. Through the use of broad information systems, a construction manager today is able to assemble a ...

Abstract: The problem of dynamic response and momentary liquefaction of a transversely isotropic seabed subjected to water waves was treated analytically using a fully coupled dynamic model. The dynamic governing equations were first ...

Abstract: Pendulum tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) are one of the most commonly used devices for high-rise structures to control large-amplitude vibrations due to dynamic excitations. In practice, the damper of PTMD usually connects the ...
