RISDevelopment of Rotation Capacity Model for Web Cleat Connections against Progressive Collapse: Bayesian Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Catenary action is recognized as one of the main resistance mechanisms for typical steel frame structures against progressive collapse. As a result of catenary action, large rotation, and axial tension demand are applied ...
Strain-Hardening and Thermal-Softening Effects on Shear Angle Prediction: New Model Development and Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The strain-hardening and thermal-softening effects on shear stress and shear angle in orthogonal machining are discussed in this paper. The temperature effect on strain hardening was quantitatively ...
Understanding Anomalous Eddy Vorticity Forcing in North Atlantic Oscillation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study proposes an anomalous eddy vorticity forcing (EVF) decomposing procedure to investigate physical mechanisms responsible for the formation of the anomalous EVF associated with North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) ...

Application of an Apple-II Computer in Real-Time Data Processing of Microwave Radiation Attenuation by Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using an Apple-II microcomputer, real-time data acquisition, processing, staring and display of 12 GHz microwave radiation attenuation by rain have been implemented. The computer-radiometer interface consists of an address ...
Reliability Analysis of Code-Conforming Steel-Frame Structures against Column-Loss Scenarios
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the reliability of code-conforming steel-frame structures against column-loss scenarios. The reliability assessment employs the subset simulation method and alternate path method. The subset simulation ...
Road versus Rail: Assessing the Implications of Transport Infrastructure for Spatial Growth Pattern in China’s Megaregions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The exacerbation of the concentration of population and economic activities in a few core metropolitan areas has become an urgent issue for China’s regional development, and necessitates a more polycentric spatial development ...
Finite-Element Implementation of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting System from Vibrations of Railway Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work investigates the finite-element implementation of a piezoelectric energy harvester subjected to traffic-induced vibration of a railway bridge. To derive the electromechanical coupled framework, Hamilton’s variational ...
Study of Axle Load Conversion for Pavement with Reflective Crack Based on Stress Intensify Factor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By applying the theory of fatigue fracture, equivalent conversion of load between 3D model and plane strain model was performed according to the equivalent principle of maximal stress in undamaged semi – rigid base. ...
A Numerical Study of the Three-Dimensional Structure and Energetics of Unstable Disturbances in Zonal Currents: Part I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamic instability properties and the structure and energetics of unstable disturbances in both pure baroclinic and pure barotropic zonal currents are investigated by applying an eigenvalue technique to the finite-difference ...
