Abstract: The robustness of residual vibration control, such as input shaping, has conventionally been evaluated from the ratio of residual vibration amplitude with input shaping to that without input ...

Abstract: The Asian summer monsoon heating anomalies are parameterized in terms of the concurrent ENSO SST anomalies and used as additional forcing in the Cane?Zebiak (CZ) Pacific ocean?atmosphere anomaly model. The Asian heating ...

Abstract: The structure of surface-wind anomalies associated with ENSO variability is extracted from ComprehensiveOcean?Atmosphere Dataset observations and European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF) and National Centers for ...

Abstract: When prestressing tendons are corroded, a bridge owner must decide whether to replace or repair them. If this decision must be based on a destructive inspection method, section losses in the steel strands must be estimated ...

Abstract: In bridge weigh-in-motion systems, the vehicle speed is a fundamental input parameter for the weighing algorithm. The speed is generally obtained by processing structural responses measured at different locations along the ...

Abstract: In this study, an approach to obtain an accurate yet simple model for full-vehicle ride analysis is proposed. The approach involves linearization of a full car MBD (multibody dynamics) model ...

Abstract: The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of incident flows (i.e., variations in terrain roughness) on wind loads and wind load combination effects on a target low-rise building. Three area ...

Abstract: In the construction of reinforced concrete structures, bent reinforcing bars (rebars) are manually straightened to connect wall-slab joints in tall buildings, retaining wall-slab joints, and temporary openings, among other ...
