RISEffect of Pore-Water Pressure on 3D Stability of Rock Slope
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strength envelopes of almost all types of rocks are nonlinear over a wide range of normal stresses. This paper presents a study in which the nonlinear Hoek-Brown failure criterion was adopted and the kinematical approach ...
Monitoring Structural Performance of a Supertall Building during 14 Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field measurements of wind effects on a 42-meter-high supertall building in Hong Kong were analyzed during the passages of 14 tropical cyclone (TC) events, from 28 to 216, with a total recording time duration of 36 h. ...
Three-Dimensional Stability of Two-Stage Slope in Inhomogeneous Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The three-dimensional (3D) stability calculations of soil slopes are often focused on homogeneous soils in the published literature. However, strength inhomogeneity is a common phenomenon in slope engineering. The purpose ...
Monitoring Wind Characteristics and Structural Performance of a Supertall Building during a Landfall Typhoon
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind characteristics in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and structural performance under extreme wind conditions are of major concern in the design of tall buildings in tropical cyclone-prone regions. On August 22, ...
Finite-Time Stabilization of Stochastic Systems With Partially Known Transition Probabilities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the problem of finite-time stabilization for a class of uncertain Markov jump systems with partially known transition probabilities is investigated. The main aim of this paper ...
Numerical Analysis of Fractional Neutral Functional Differential Equations Based on Generalized Volterra-Integral Operators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We use waveform relaxation (WR) method to solve numerically fractional neutral functional differential equations and mainly consider the convergence of the numerical method with the help of a generalized Volterra-integral ...
Slope Stability Analysis with Nonlinear Failure Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A linear failure criterion is widely used in slope stability analyses. However, the strength envelope of almost all geomaterials has the nature of nonlinearity. This paper computes rigorous upper bounds on slope stability ...
Dynamic Behavior of Supertall Building with Active Control System during Super Typhoon Mangkhut
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents observations of structural dynamic characteristics and wind-induced responses of a 600-m-high skyscraper installed with an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) system during super typhoon Mangkhut. The ...
Seismic and Static Stability Analysis for 3D Reinforced Slope in Nonhomogeneous and Anisotropic Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforcements are essential for improvement of slope stability. In most slope stability analyses, the soil is regarded as homogeneous, whereas it is in fact nonhomogeneous in many cases. Based on the limit-analysis method, ...
Analysis and Numerical Solutions for Fractional Stochastic Evolution Equations With Almost Sectorial Operators
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fractional stochastic evolution equations often arise in theory and applications. Finding exact solutions of such equations is impossible in most cases. In this paper, our main goal is to establish the existence and ...
