Abstract: The methods available for proportioning columns in gravity‐loaded steel frames are reviewed and their shortcomings demonstrated. A new design method is then proposed. It does not involve the column effective length factor,

Abstract: It is demonstrated how the

Abstract: The discharge coefficient of a lateral opening in a prismatic trapezoidal main channel is determined for subcritical flow conditions from considerations of the conservation of energy and the conservation of momentum. The ...

Abstract: A dynamical core of a general circulation model with the spectral method using double Fourier series (DFS) as basis functions is presented. The model uses the hydrostatic balance approximation and sigma coordinate system ...

Abstract: The effective length factor,

Abstract: A statistical study of the gravimetric gradation characteristics of quarrystones used for shoreline protection against small wave attack is described. A nonparametric method based on order statistics is used to determine ...

Abstract: The 5-day wave has been detected in composite maps of geopotential height fields of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts dataset for 7 years (1984?91, except 1985) and shows a characteristic northwest?southeast ...

Abstract: The composite analysis of the 10-day and 16-day waves, the observational counterparts of the second antisymmetric and symmetric rotational Hough mode with the zonal wavenumber 1, respectively, were performed as an extension of Cheong and Kimura?s...
