Nonlinear Macroscopic Finite Element Model for Masonry Walls
A macroscopic finite element model which includes both transverse shear effects and nonlinearity due to cracking has been developed for masonry. These features are accommodated using a...
Dynamic Response Correlation of Cylindrical Tanks
The May 1983 Coalinga Earthquake provided an opportunity to correlate earthquake performance of cylindrical liquid storage tanks with behavior observed in laboratory shaking table experiments....
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...
Containment Integrity of SEP Plants under Combined Loads
The containment designs analyzed consisted of three inverted light-bulb shaped drywells used in boiling water reactor (BWR) systems, and three steel-lines concrete containments and a spherical...
