Abstract: As technology in the manufacture of total stations evolves rapidly, a new era in surveyor's field work arises. This paper describes appropriate instrumentation, software, and possibilities for communication that are needed ...

Abstract: It has been recognized that liquefaction resistance of sand increases with age due to processes such as cementation at particle contacts and increasing frictional resistance resulting from particle rearrangement and ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to support sustainable architecture where renewable materials (such as plant-based materials and soil) are used for construction. The use of renewable materials and earthen building ...

Abstract: Prior studies examining the nonlinear material properties of 6000 series aluminum alloys have predominantly concentrated on analyzing the stress–strain characteristics of these materials under monotonic tensile loading. ...

Abstract: Engineering structures are often designed using detailed finite element (FE) models. Although these models can capture nonlinear effects, performing nonlinear dynamic analysis using FE models is often prohibitively ...

Abstract: he authors evaluate the ability of 10 regional climate models (RCMs) to simulate precipitation over Southern Africa within the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) framework. An ensemble of 10 ...
