Abstract: Geometric imperfections in thin-shell structures such as silos and tanks need to be measured to assess the buckling strength of the structures, and to develop new structure design criteria. A number of difficulties are ...

Abstract: A surface-profile measurement system is introduced, with emphasis on the design and the measuring principles of the system. Originally developed for the measurement of imperfections in large-scale steel silos, the system ...

Abstract: Monitoring the deformation and other useful physical parameters of slopes, either natural mountain slopes or those formed in open pit mining or construction, is one of the most effective methods to avoid or reduce the risk ...

Abstract: The removal of heavy metal in drinking water was carried out using a new type of cation-exchange resin mixed polyethersulfone (PES) membrane adsorbent. Cation-exchange resins (Type 110-H) were incorporated into the PES ...
