Abstract: A numerical algorithm is presented for studying the interaction of normally incident steep surface waves with a vertical wall. The method utilizes a boundary integral relation in conjunction with a time‐marching procedure ...

Abstract: Many surveyors use the network of global positioning system (GPS) Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) as accurate “free” control monuments in their projects. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) publishes and ...

Abstract: Iceberg impact design loads for offshore structures can be estimated by incorporating an ice/structure interaction model in a probabilistic framework, or risk analysis. The relevant iceberg and ...

Abstract: The motion response of small icebergs in waves has been the subject of recent investigation to provide information for the design of offshore structures resistant to glacial ice impact. Since ...

Abstract: Steel concentrically braced frames designed prior to the implementation of capacity design principles in seismic design provisions may exhibit poor inelastic response under seismic excitation. These older, nonductile ...
