Abstract: A significant number of accidents has occurred with demountable grandstands in the past as well as recently. The performance of such structures is the subject of this paper. First, structural details and some structural ...

Abstract: In this paper a numerical and an experimental study on reinforced concrete box culverts (BC) behavior is presented. A BC under a

Abstract: now cover simulation is a complex task in mountain regions because of its highly irregular distribution. GIS-based calculations of snowmelt?accumulation models must deal with nonnegligible scale effects below cell size, ...

Abstract: Scientific studies dealing with mechanical vibration attenuation by means of piezoelectric actuators are mostly focused on special details of structure modeling through finite elements and the amount of attenuation that ...

Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid system for controlling wind-induced flexural vibration of a frame structure in any vertical plan. The system was implemented and tested in a prototype reduced-scale two-floor building, which ...

Abstract: Crowding is a critical condition for footbridges that are prone to vibration problems from pedestrian loads. Synchronization of pedestrian movements has been identified as the cause of the excessive lateral vibration in ...

Abstract: Applications often require a fast, single-threaded search algorithm over sorted data, typical in table-lookup operations. We explore various search algorithms for a large number of search candidates over a relatively small ...

Abstract: The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2020 led to a significant change in human behaviors, mainly because of the quarantine to avoid the spread of the virus. Measures affected ...

Abstract: Computational simulation using the finite element method (FEM) has proven to be one of the most efficient methods for the correct evaluation of the structural integrity of pipelines with corrosion-induced defects. In this ...
