Abstract: A 200 mb data set obtained during the GATE experiment of the 1974 summer for the period 15 June-23 September and covering the global tropics 25°S to 45°N has been analyzed to determine the presence of certain wave modes ...

Abstract: Use is made of a mixture of observing bases to provide a data set for the global tropics. This data set allows a reasonably good delineation of the tropical motion field at three levels, 200. 250 and 300 mb. An iterative ...

Abstract: An experimental program was undertaken to investigate the inelastic seismic response of metal deck roofing systems. The load carrying capacity of roof diaphragms for low-rise steel buildings, subjected to lateral loads ...

Abstract: To ensure that accurate failure-mode assessments are made, and ultimately to ensure that accurate design equations are formulated, a detailed analysis is needed of the procedure used to identify the cause of a connection ...

Abstract: A series of 18 large-scale tests was carried out on corrugated cold-formed steel deck diaphragms for single-story buildings to investigate the diaphragm’s ability to function as the main source for absorbing earthquake ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of steel-sheathed cold-formed steel-framed shear walls by means of dynamic shake table tests. The objective was to evaluate the seismic performance and to identify whether ...
