Abstract: The behavior of fiber-reinforced cement composite (FRCC) flexural members under large displacement reversals was experimentally evaluated. Emphasis was placed on estimating the displacement capacity and shear strength of ...

Abstract: In this paper, results are presented from tests of four reinforced concrete (RC) column-steel beam (RCS) subassemblies under large displacement reversals and dynamic analyses of RCS systems under various ground motions. ...

Abstract: A methodology is developed to identify and estimate systematic biases between expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and Argo observations using satellite altimetry. Pseudoclimatological fields of isotherm depth are computed ...

Abstract: his paper presents direct evidence of systematic depth errors consistent with a fall-rate bias in 52 temperature profiles collected using expendable bathythermographs (XBTs). The profiles were collected using the same ...

Abstract: Results from the tests of six cantilever double-channel built-up members under reversed cyclic bending are presented. The main parameters investigated were stitch spacing and lateral bracing requirements in order to sustain ...

Abstract: Results from an experimental study on the seismic response of two hybrid RC column-to-steel (S) beam (RCS) roof level T-connection subassemblies are presented. The primary variables investigated were: (1) anchorage ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of coupling beams and walls constructed with tensile strain-hardening, high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) was studied through tests of large-scale precast coupling beams and coupled ...

Abstract: On 4 October 1995, Hurricane Opal deepened from 965 to 916 hPa in the Gulf of Mexico over a 14-h period upon encountering a warm core ring (WCR) in the ocean shed by the Loop Current during an upper-level atmospheric trough ...

Abstract: Results from the tests of three large-scale slab-column subassemblies subjected to combined gravity load and biaxial lateral displacements are presented. The main purpose of the experimental program was to investigate the ...

Abstract: Two sea surface height (SSH) anomaly fields distributed by Archiving, Validation, and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) Altimetry are evaluated in terms of the effects that they produce on mixing. One SSH ...
