Abstract: In order to coordinate the design of RC structures all over Europe, the new Eurocode has been implemented in all member states. In Germany, for example, the unified codes with their national annexes are exclusively valid ...

Abstract: Some important numerical aspects concerning the finite-element simulation of granular flow are presented. The main topic of this paper is the so-called “switch” phenomenon, which is a stress peak at the junction of the ...

Abstract: Over the last three decades, storm-water quality modeling has been used increasingly commonly to describe the general system behavior and assess the pollution loads transferred in and spilled out of combined sewer systems. ...

Abstract: Nimbus II High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) data, sensitive in the 3.4?4.2 ? window, were analyzed over several oceanic regions. Current boundaries such as the north wall of the Gulf Stream have been located ...

Abstract: Naturally occurring limestone and samples from a lab-scale dual fluidized bed (DFB) calcium looping test facility were analyzed in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The reactivity of the samples ...

Abstract: Increased availability, reliability, and performance combined with reduced maintenance costs are key factors for the success of gas turbine users. This paper focuses on the reconditioning of film cooled single crystal (SX) ...

Abstract: The presence or absence of clouds, their characteristics, and variations of surface albedo have been correlated with observations made at several different wavelengths in the visible spectrum. These were made at high and ...
