RISInterpretation of Japanese Wood Building Damage Based on Soil–Foundation Connection Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Japanese wood building damage was concentrated on the first story of buildings in previous large earthquakes. The main reason was attributed to an undesirable layout (lack of shear walls) in the first story. However, it ...
3D Methods for Examining Soil–Building Interaction for Nonlinear Soil Behavior Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes three-dimensional (3D) simplified nonlinear methods for examining the soil–building interaction for nonlinear behavior of soils based on an input seismic wave field. A seismic wave field is defined as ...
Two Regimes of the Equatorial Warm Pool. Part II: Hybrid Coupled GCM Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this second of a two-part study, the two regimes in a simple tropical climate model identified in Part I are verified using a hybrid coupled general circulation model (HCM) that can reproduce the observed climatology ...
Two Regimes of the Equatorial Warm Pool. Part I: A Simple Tropical Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmosphere?ocean coupled processes responsible for generating and maintaining the equatorial warm pool were investigated using models of different complexities. The primary focus was to answer the following question: why ...
Discharge Coefficient for Venturi Flowmeter With Short Laying Length
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for predicting the discharge coeffcient for a venturi flowmeter with a short laying length where the static pressure is not uniform at the throat due to streamline ...
3D Analysis of S-Wave Propagation in Soft Deposits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During the 1985 Michoacan earthquake (surface-wave magnitude = 8.1), large-amplitude seismograms of extremely long duration were recorded in the lake-bed zone of Mexico City. Large amplification in soft surficial deposits ...
The Moisture Mode in the Quasi-Equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model. Part II: Nonlinear Behavior on an Equatorial β Plane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical calculations of a simplified quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation model (QTCM) on the equatorial ? plane have been performed to explore the nonlinear regime of the moisture mode. Sensitivity tests have examined ...
The Moisture Mode in the Quasi-Equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model. Part I: Analysis Based on the Weak Temperature Gradient Approximation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The moisture mode in a simplified version of the quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation model (QTCM) of Neelin and Zeng is analyzed. Perturbation expansion based on the ratio of temperature tendency to adiabatic cooling ...
Three-Dimensional Linear and Simplified Nonlinear Soil Response Methods Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We propose three-dimensional linear and simplified nonlinear soil response methods based on an input seismic wave field. An input wave field is employed to treat seismic surface waves excited by a deep structure in a shallow ...
Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Method for Soil-Building Interaction Based on an Input Wave Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) FEM for examining the soil-building interaction based on an input seismic wave field is proposed. A seismic wave field means seismic waves propagating in a 3D medium. An input seismic wave field ...
