Abstract: Reasonably simple yet accurate estimation of inelastic displacement demands on bridges during strong ground shaking is a critical step in the structural design process. Current code methods rely on the equal displacement ...

Abstract: An important consideration in the design of structures for seismic effects is residual displacement. However, few design specifications have residual displacement criteria. As performance-based design gains popularity, the ...

Abstract: The first provisional jet fuel specifications were published in 1943 in England (RDE/F/KER/210) and 1944 in the U.S. (AN-F-32a). Jet fuel has undergone many changes in subsequent years, with ...

Abstract: This paper describes a strategy for determining a combustor’s dynamic stability margin. Currently, when turbines are being commissioned or simply going through day to day operation, the operator ...

Abstract: With the continuing development of displacement-based and performance-based seismic design principles in the bridge engineering community comes the need to address issues that have historically been omitted from, or else ...

Abstract: The origin of the summertime synoptic wave train in the western North Pacific is investigated with a multilevel, nonlinear baroclinic model. A realistic three-dimensional summer mean state is specified and eigenvectors are ...
