RISAccounting for Earthquake-Induced Dam-Reservoir Interaction Using Modified Accelerograms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a new practical and efficient procedure to investigate the seismic response of gravity dams that (1) avoids the finite or boundary element discretization of the impounded reservoir; (2) can be applied ...

Critical Appraisal of Common Simplified Assumptions in Seismic Stability Analyses of Gravity Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In practical seismic stability analyses of gravity dams, it is common to (1) oversimplify irregular dam-rock interfaces, (2) neglect the effects of cohesion and tensile strength, and (3) ignore the effects of vertical ...

Abstract: In practical seismic stability analyses of gravity dams, it is common to (1) oversimplify irregular dam-rock interfaces, (2) neglect the effects of cohesion and tensile strength, and (3) ignore the effects ...
Composite Material Behavior Using a Homogenization Double Scale Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, we present a two-scale numerical method in which structures made up of composite materials are simulated. The method proposed lies within the context of homogenization theory and assumes the periodicity of ...
El Niño–Southern Oscillation: Absent in the Early Holocene?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution sedimentary proxies from low latitudes are rare but nevertheless important to understanding the role of tropical regions in the global climate. The reanalysis of a sedimentary record from Lake Pallcacocha ...
Seismic Response of Asymmetric Rectangular Liquid-Containing Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new formulation to investigate the seismic response of symmetric and asymmetric rectangular liquid-containing structures is developed and validated in this paper. The proposed method is based on a substructuring approach, ...
Systemized Structural Predesign Method for Selective Racks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified stability-based method for practical structural predesign of down-aisle unbraced frames of selective racks. Given the uniformity of actual racks, only a single upright and its adjoining ...
Factors Affecting Rework Costs in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rework adversely impacts the performance of building projects. In this study, data were analyzed from 788 construction incidents in 40 Spanish building projects to determine the effects of project and managerial characteristics ...
Internal Organizational Measurement for Control of Magnetorheological Fluid Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) fluids change their physical properties when subjected to a magnetic field. As this change occurs, the specific values of the physical properties are a function of the ...
