RISCapacity of Masonry Arches and Spatial Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical model for the study of spatial structures consisting of curved, three-dimensional members with variable cross sections is presented, together with its application to the nonlinear geometric and material analysis ...
Hole Drilling Technique for On-Site Stress Measurements of Masonry Piers: Analysis of the Santa Maria del Mar Cathedral in Barcelona, Spain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction of the Santa Maria del Mar cathedral dates back to 1329. The cathedral represents an excellent example of the Gothic style in Catalonia. Because of the observed damage on the piers of the main nave, special ...
Scale Dependence of Monsoonal Convective Systems over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep convective clouds in the Tropics have long been recognized to occur on a wide spectrum of spatial scales, ranging from the individual cumulus to the meso- and synoptic-scale cloud systems. The objective of this paper ...
Revisiting the Global Energy Budget Dynamics with a Multivariate Earth Energy Balance Model to Account for the Warming Pattern Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Validation of Upper-Tropospheric Humidity from SAPHIR on board Megha-Tropiques Using Tropical Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes the upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) product derived from brightness temperature measurements of the Sondeur Atmosphérique du Profil d?Humidité Intertropicale par Radiométrie (SAPHIR) radiometer on ...
A Study of the Free Tropospheric Humidity Interannual Variability Using Meteosat Data and an Advection–Condensation Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor in the midtroposphere is an important element for the earth radiation budget. Despite its importance, the relative humidity in the free troposphere is not very well documented, mainly because of the difficulties ...
Enhanced Start-Up of Upflow Anaerobic Filters by Pulsation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, the effect of the pulsing flow on the start-up efficiency and hydraulics of upflow anaerobic filters (UAF) has been assessed. With this aim, a reactor operated in pulsing form (P) was compared with a conventional ...
Observational Evidence for Relationships between the Degree of Aggregation of Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Surface Fluxes, and Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical deep convection exhibits complex organization over a wide range of scales. This study investigates the relationships between the spatial organization of deep convection and the large-scale atmospheric state. By ...
Computational Analysis of Masonry Structures with a Funicular Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a computational approach for the assessment of masonry structures based on the well known analogy between the equilibrium of arches and that of hanging strings or cables working in tension. According ...
A Multiscale Evaluation of the Detection Capabilities of High-Resolution Satellite Precipitation Products in West Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alidation studies have assessed the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation estimates at coarse scale (1° and 1 day or coarser) in the tropics, but little is known about their ability to capture the finescale variability ...
