Abstract: One of the problems encountered in the estimation of wind effects on high-rise structures is the development of combinations of wind-induced translational responses in possible conjunction with rotational responses and/or ...

Abstract: For structures sensitive to wind directionality, methods for the estimation of wind effects require the use of time series of directional wind speeds that cover time periods exceeding the length of the mean recurrence ...

Abstract: In this paper, selected results are presented from a set of recent full-scale trials measuring the dynamic sinkage, trim, and heel of 16 container ship transits entering and leaving the Port of Fremantle, Western Australia. ...

Abstract: Non-manifold boundary representations have become very popular in recent years and various representation schemes have been proposed, as they represent a wider range of objects, for various ...

Abstract: In this article, validation of numerical models of ship wave-induced motions in port-approach channels is carried out. A selected set of high-quality data from recent full-scale trials measuring vertical motions of container ...

Abstract: A city is like a creature that grows through its relationship with the surrounding area, rather than growing alone. Therefore, the situation of a city cannot be assessed by a simple increase or decrease of the dichotomic ...

Abstract: On a highway, it is generally observed that as traffic flow increases, vehicles tend to travel closely and form platoons. However, sometimes platoons are formed at even a low traffic density and therefore a high traffic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates second-order effects on wind-induced structural dynamic behavior of a 6-story high-rise steel structure known as the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) building model. These ...
