Probabilistic Amplification Factors for Response Spectra
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The concept of inelastic response spectra is now well recognized. The inelastic response spectra can be generated from the peak ground motion parameters by employing amplification factors and deamplification factors. The ...
Cyclic Kesfonse of Concrete Bracing Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents the hysteresis behavior of axially loaded reinforced concrete bracing members. The object was to study the reduction in stiffness in relation to the number of cycles and the energy dissipation capacity. ...
Simulation of Mulch and No-Mulch Conditions for Various Soil Matric Potential Thresholds for Drip-Fertigated Guava (<i>Psidium guajava</i> L.) in the Semiarid Region of Northwest India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in a semiarid region of Punjab state, northwest India, for 2 years to evaluate an efficient irrigation schedule for guava under mulch and no-mulch conditions. The experiment involved ...
Response Behavior of Triangular Tension Leg Platforms under Regular Waves Using Stokes Nonlinear Wave Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tension leg platforms (TLPs) are compliant-type offshore structures generally used for deepwater oil/gas exploration. Dynamic analysis of three triangular TLP models under regular waves is presented, considering the coupling ...
Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Offshore Towers in Frequency Domain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A frequency domain iterative method is proposed to solve the non‐linear dynamic equation of motion encountered in the dynamic analysis of offshore structures under regular and random waves. The nonlinearities due to the ...
Improving the Safety of Megaconstruction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Megaconstruction projects (MCPs) have many beneficial impacts on urban development, such as the creation of infrastructure for other industries, economic development, and employment generation. Global spending on MCPs ...
