RISExperimental Study of Seismic Behavior of High-Strength RC Columns Strengthened with CFRP Subjected to Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eight high-strength RC columns confined by carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and two control specimens are tested under cyclic lateral load and constant axial load. The effectiveness of the high-strength RC ...
The Predictability of Soil Moisture and Near-Surface Temperature in Hindcasts of the NCEP Seasonal Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the NCEP?DOE reanalysis (R-2) soil wetness and the NCEP Seasonal Forecast System, seasonal predictability of the soil moisture and near-surface temperature, and the role of land surface initial conditions are examined. ...
Compressive Behavior of Circular Tubed Steel-Reinforced High-Strength Concrete Short Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a total of 12 circular tubed steel-reinforced concrete (CTSRC) short columns with high-strength concrete are constructed and tested under axial compressive load. The main variables of the test include ...
The Effects of Operational, Testing, and Material Characterizations on the Change in Yield Strength From Plate to Pipe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The rapid growth of energy consumption has increased the demand of pipelines for the transportation of oil and gas. UOE is one common technique for manufacturing pipes, and its pipe products are evaluated by tensile tests ...
A Comparison of the Noah and OSU Land Surface Models in the ECPC Seasonal Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Noah land surface model (LSM) has recently been implemented into the Experimental Climate Prediction Center?s (ECPC?s) global Seasonal Forecast Model (SFM). Its performance is compared to the older ECPC SFM with the ...
Land–Atmosphere Coupling Strength in the Global Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The operational coupled land?atmosphere forecast model from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is evaluated for the strength and characteristics of its coupling in the water cycle between land and ...
Evaluation of Soil Moisture in the NCEP–NCAR and NCEP–DOE Global Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares soil moisture analyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP?NCAR) global reanalysis (R-1) and the later NCEP? Department of Energy (DOE) ...
Dynamic Characterization and Design of Scotch Yoke Inerter with Adjustable Inertance for Seismic Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scotch yoke inerter (SYI) is a new geometrically nonlinear vibration isolator with a smaller maximum transmissibility than linear inerter systems. The influence of internal friction and the damping effect on the response ...
Soil Moisture Memory in AGCM Simulations: Analysis of Global Land–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE) Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil moisture memory is a key aspect of land?atmosphere interaction and has major implications for seasonal forecasting. Because of a severe lack of soil moisture observations on most continents, existing analyses of ...
Overview of the CPOC Pilot Study at Whiteface Mountain, NY: Cloud Processing of Organics within Clouds (CPOC)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aqueous chemical processing within cloud and fog water is thought to be a key process in the production and transformation of secondary organic aerosol mass, found abundantly and ubiquitously throughout the troposphere. ...
