RISUsing Buckling-Restrained Braces on Long-Span Bridges. II: Feasibility and Development of a Near-Fault Loading Protocol
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are reliable energy-dissipating axial members that recently became popular in the seismic design of buildings. Using the Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) as a case study, this research investigates ...
Using Buckling-Restrained Braces on Long-Span Bridges. I: Full-Scale Testing and Design Implications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using the Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) as a feasibility case study, near-fault loading protocols for qualifying buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) for use on long-span bridges were developed and are presented in a companion ...

An Innovative Device for Passive Control of Surge in Industrial Compression Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper reports a numerical–experimental study on the dynamic behavior of a compression system based on a multistage centrifugal blower and fitted with an innovative device for the ...
Three Methods to Determine Profiles of Reflectivity from Volumetric Radar Data to Correct Precipitation Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical variability of radar reflectivity reduces the reliability of precipitation estimation by radar, especially in complex orography. This important source of error can, at least partially, be corrected for, if the ...
