Abstract: A numerical model for the ultimate analysis of externally prestressed concrete bridges has been developed. The proposed model can analyze simply supported or continuous, monolithic or segmental bridges, with external ...

Abstract: The data assimilation system of Environment Canada (EC) is adapted to accept GPS radio occultation (GPSRO) data. Observations of this type are available with extensive coverage from several satellites. In this study, ...

Abstract: n analysis of the impact of GPS radio occultation observations on Environment Canada?s global deterministic weather prediction system is presented. Radio occultation data, as any other source of weather observations, have ...

Abstract: This paper briefly reviews the history of structural engineering education: The dawn, development, and consolidation of traditional education systems, as well as their fall into decline in the contemporary technological ...

Abstract: The wind stability of suspension bridges in the construction phase can often be more problematic than in the final state. In this paper, numerical wind stability analyses are performed for the erection process of both ...

Abstract: The paper deals with a methodology for the use of dynamic response as an inspection and surveillance tool for concrete structures (mainly bridges). The method is based upon a finite‐element analysis for identification of ...

Abstract: The influence of aerodynamic appendages on the wind stability of box-girder suspension bridges is examined, with special reference to the stability of bridges with very long spans (above 2,000 m). Aerodynamic appendages ...

Abstract: Alloy 800H is a candidate material for supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCWR), specifically for in-core components in Canadian-type SCWR, that will operate at a pressure of 25 MPa and a core temperature from 350 °C to ...
