Noniterative Equivalent Linear Method for Evaluation of Existing Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The equivalent linear system is one of the approximate methods for estimating the maximum inelastic displacement response of structures in performance-based seismic design and evaluation. Traditionally, the equivalent ...
Estimation of Maximum Roof Displacement Demands in Regular Multistory Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For approximate estimation of the maximum inelastic roof displacement demand for existing multistory buildings, the current displacement coefficient method uses the maximum linear elastic displacement of the first-mode ...
Effects of Site Classes on Damping Reduction Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A statistical study of the damping reduction factors considered the effects of site classes from 1,037 acceleration time histories are presented. The factors are computed from the displacement and acceleration response ...
Seismic Response of Full-Scale Structure with Added Viscoelastic Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the test and analytical results of a full-scale 5 story steel frame with added viscoelastic (VE) dampers. The ISD110 VE dampers made by 3M Company are installed to the long (East–West) direction of the ...
Road Surface State Recognition Based on Semantic Segmentation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In extreme bad weather conditions, vehicles can promptly adjust the speed and distance according to the road information, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Road type and the road adhesion ...
Shaking Table Study on Displacement-Based Design for Seismic Retrofit of Existing Buildings Using Nonlinear Viscous Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental and analytical results of a shaking-table study on the elastic and inelastic behavior of a
Assessing the Effects of Urban Landscape Area and Pattern Change on Flood Events in Qinhuai River Basin, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Urbanization significantly affects hydrological processes, but the influence level of urban landscape area change (ULAC) on flood magnitude has not been quantified, the response laws of floods with different characteristics ...
Rotary Engine Rotor Side Seals Using New Machining Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study has developed a new machining process for the side seal components of gray cast iron alloy of rotor engine, which is different from the traditional wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process. The new ...
Improved Dynamic Time Warping Algorithm for Bus Route Trajectory Curve Fitting
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Applying the electronic route map is a cornerstone for improving the management and operational efficiency of transportation systems. However, the practice of electronic route map designed specifically for the transit ...
Vacuum Tribological Properties of a Ti 46Al 2Cr 2Nb Intermetallics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to investigate the vacuum tribological properties of a Ti46Al2Cr2Nb alloy, drysliding tribological tests of the alloy against AISI 52,100 steel ball under different sliding speeds and loads were performed at a ...
