Abstract: The lateral excessive sway motion caused by pedestrian traffic has attracted great public attention in the past decades years. However, the theories about exploring the effect of pedestrian on the lateral dynamic properties ...

Abstract: Ocean current forecasting is essential for tidal renewable energy generation and operation. However, forecasting the current direction at multiple points along the water depth are still lacking of comprehensive studies. ...

Abstract: Priestley’s oscillatory process theory is widely employed to model nonstationary excitation. However, the underlying coherence function of this theory can only be time invariant. To take into account the time-varying ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were carried out in an open terrain to measure the wind pressure on six cylindrical roofs with the rise-span ratios of 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8 and length-span ratios of 1 and 2. Using the measured wind pressures ...

Abstract: A comprehensive wind tunnel experimental study for 4∶12-sloped hip roofs of L- and T-shaped low buildings was carried out in a simulated open terrain exposure to examine wind load characteristics and assess the applicability ...

Abstract: Estimating the peak value of wind load effects is an important task for engineers of structural and cladding design. Because of the various sources of uncertainties, such as the aerodynamic effect, model selection, and ...
