A Phenomenological Approach to Physico Chemical Phenomena Coupled with Damage in Massive Concrete
This paper presents the first experiments which have been done to support the bases of a thermomechanical model coupled with damage and to identify the characteristics parameters needed...
Modeling of Coupled Heat-Mass-Stress Effects in Geologic Media
To investigate the importance of coupled hydraulic-thermal-mechanical processes for the potential nuclear waste storage repository at the Yucca Mountain, a computer code is being developed....
Three Tools for Design Test Bed Analysis
Three analytical tools are outlined for use in design test bed work focusing on the design/production interface. The tools are substitution analysis, coupling analysis, and value chain...
In-Plane Behavior of Concrete Masonry Coupled Walls
To study the in-plane seismic resistance of multi-story masonry coupled walls, 6 full-scale reinforced masonry specimens, each two stories high, are being constructed and tested in the...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Experiments on Two-Story Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls
Nonlinear, static finite element analyses are being used for correlation with experiments conducted on one-story reinforced masonry shear walls, and for the prediction of and correlation...
Considerations to Be Taken in the Design of Speed Increasers for Hydroturbine Service
The paper discusses the incorporation of a speed increaser specification that is primarily functional yet one that will address the cost, reliability, efficiency, and life requirements...
Coupled Implicit Simulation of Mobile-Bed Rivers
Numerical and physical deficiencies in existing computational codes for simulation of bed evolution in mobile-bed rivers have led the authors to propose a new approach. The new method...
A Modal Coupling Procedure for Structural Dynamics
A method is presented for synthesizing the real modes of substructures to obtain the complex modes of the combined structure. These complex modes properly include the nonclassical damping...
Response of Embedded Foundations: A Hybrid Approach
A hybrid approach to study the dynamic through-the-soil coupling between adjacent foundations embedded in a uniform soil model when subjected to harmonic external forces and seismic excitation...
Wave Height Distribution in the Coupled Harbor
Wave height in a harbor sheltered by a breakwater is studied by numerical simulation and experiment. The coupled harbor, attained by setting up double arm breakwaters, was adopted as the...
Study of Stochastic Planning and Design of Multireservoir Systems
A new approach named Lumped to Discrete Programming (LDP) coupled with constrained stochastic optimization and successive approximation approach amongst reservoirs gives promise to subtantially...
New Developments in Seismic Analysis of Primary and Secondary Systems
This paper presents recent advances made at NCSU in the seismic analysis of these systems. Algorithms are presented by which coupled mode shapes and frequencies can be evaluated without...
Transient Fluid-Structure Interaction of a Cylindrical Tank with a Flexible Baseplate
Analytically predicted coupled natural frequencies, response functions, and transient responses are compared with measured values for a partially filled cylindrical tank subject to excitation...
Threaded Rebars Spin Down Time
A rebar splicing technique was a major factor in saving two year's construction time on California's $33 million, 9000 ft (2743 m) Antioch Bridge. Rebar splicing...
