Abstract: Design criteria based on LRFD format is proposed here for FPSO structural design. The design criteria of FPSO structures accounts for load effects and their probabilistic distributions, in which ...

Abstract: Cylindrical shells, unstiffened or stiffened with rings and/or stringers, are commonly used in offshore structures as main loading-carrying members. Comprehensive theoretical work and experimental ...

Abstract: The natural frequency-mass transport velocity relationship was experimentally determined on aluminum tubes throughout a broad mass transport velocity range. Simply-supported, clamped-clamped, and ...

Abstract: Recycled concrete is an environmentally friendly concrete, which is composed of recycled coarse aggregate, new mortar, old mortar, and the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between them. These ITZs are the areas where the ...

Abstract: One of the main problems of wide expressway construction in permafrost regions involves protection of the thermal stability of roadbed. Although ventilating ducts and crushed-rock layers have been successfully used in ...

Abstract: It is the aim of this article to investigate numerically the effects of spanwise pressure gradient on an embedded streamwise vortex in a turbulent boundary layer. The governing equations were ...

Abstract: The horizontal, two-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model was modified to include the salt and heat-balance equations and wetting-and-drying scheme. It was applied to Kyunggi Bay (Korea) to reproduce mean conditions for one ...

Abstract: Recycling solid construction waste is an inevitable trend to be followed for the realization of sustainable economic development. The bond behavior of reinforcement and recycled-fiber recycled concrete is discussed in this ...
