Abstract: By in situ measurements, the real distribution of stress ranges caused by service loads can be recorded. Inherent effects in the measured response as disturbance can, however, create puzzles in the interpretation of the ...

Abstract: Abstract. The effect of a square-mesh wire grid on the compressible flow of an organic vapor was investigated, utilizing a closed-loop wind tunnel facility working with the fluid Novec 649 in the dilute gas regime. Due to ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fatigue assessment of existing steel bridges. Measurements can be used to reduce uncertainties in the structural behavior and the effects of action. However, the treatment of the measured response ...

Abstract: Infrastructure rehabilitation comprises remedial and prevention measures; however, preventing failure is not always possible, and direct investigations to find evidence of failure are challenging. Urban buried pipes are ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new, structural wood–concrete composite system. The system is formed by joining a wood component, such as a floor beam or laminated plate, to a concrete slab utilizing a continuous steel mesh of ...

Abstract: The performance of steel angles is of great interest to the field of electrical transmission tower design. In a lattice structure, the most common type of member used is the single angle. In such an application, the angles ...

Abstract: aily precipitation series from more than 1800 stations across Europe are analyzed for the fraction of the total precipitation due to very wet days: that is, days with precipitation amounts exceeding the 95th percentile. ...

Abstract: This paper examines the strength properties of a new timber connector that consists of a sectioned steel tube embedded into the end grain of heavy-timber structural members using a vinyl-ester based mortar. The steel cap ...

Abstract: This article presents a combined numerical and experimental study of the high-subsonic organic vapor flow in a linear turbine cascade. The profile geometry is the well-documented LS59 highly loaded rotor blade and the ...

Abstract: he International Climate Assessment & Dataset (ICA&D) concept provides climate services on a regional scale for users in participating countries and the broader scientific community. It builds on the expertise gained in ...
