Abstract: This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic performance and vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures were affected by soil–structure interaction (SSI). A set of RC frames located on three soil types ...

Abstract: A fluidized bed-type diesel particulate filter (DPF) was applied to filter particulate matter (PM) in diesel engine exhaust gas. The effects of the fluidized bed design parameters, such as gas ...

Abstract: Recently, an in-cylinder injection method has been considered for the improvement of thermal efficiency in natural-gas and hydrogen spark-ignition (SI) engines. However, the SI and combustion ...

Abstract: Low-calorific gases with a small portion of hydrogen are produced in various chemical processes, such as gasification of solid wastes or biomass. The aim of this study is to clarify the ...
