Abstract: The shakedown analysis of elastoplastic plane frames with semirigid connections is considered within a framework of discrete models and piecewise linear yield surfaces. The formulation adopted is based on the classical ...

Abstract: A full‐time, 15‐week bridge engineering course has been planned and is being implemented at the University of New South Wales in Australia to upgrade the technical skills of some 60 mid‐career bridge design and construction ...

Abstract: Batch experiments were conducted to examine the oxidation of arsenite (As (III)) to arsenate (As (V)) by

Abstract: The five-equation model introduced by Lorenz and Krishnamurthy is studied. It is shown that the question Of existence of a slow manifold for this model can be addressed by a combination of local and global analysis. Existence ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical programming–based approach for optimal retrofitting of steel structures with braces, subject to some given system performance criteria. The aim is to ensure the safety of the post-retrofitted ...
