A Program Architecture for Interactive Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Structures
This paper discusses a general object-oriented architecture for use in nonlinear dynamic structural finite element analyses. In light of the special issues surrounding such analyses, the...

Dynamic Analysis of Beams on a Pasternak Foundation
Since many years pavement engineers apply very simple statical models to analyze their specific problems. The development of numerical tools and easily available computer power make much...

Properties in Sensitivity Coefficients of Framed Structures
This paper presents a special relationship among sensitivity coefficients of static response, natural frequency and mode. The relationship is that the sum of sensitivity coefficients in...

Simulation of ATIS Strategies to Mitigate Special Event Congestion
This research extends the performance and application of DYNASMART, a dynamic traffic simulation model which incorporates the three elements necessary for modeling traffic flow under information:...

Interactive Simulation for Modeling Dynamic Driver Behavior in Response to ATIS
It has been contended that in-laboratory experimentation with interactive microcomputer simulation can substitute for the lack of real-world applications and provide a useful approach...

Nonlinear Earthquake Response Analysis with Partial Uplift of a Building on a 3D Layered Half-Space Using Dynamic Stiffness in Frequency Domain
Buildings...

Optimal Adaptive and Predictive Control System of Buildings by Neural Network and Fuzzy Theory
This paper describes an optimal adaptive and predictive control system and its digital simulations for a single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to earthquake loading. In this system,...

Transient Performance Model of Asphalt Pavement Deterioration and its Application to Repair Management
The Japanese Ministry of construction has conducted surveys of the pavement surface condition of national highways. This paper describes the evaluation of the performance of asphalt pavement...

Infrastructure Planning in Beirut, Lebanon
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for structuring the decision process of planning for transportation infrastructure rehabilitation and development in the city of Beirut, Lebanon....

Projecting Land Use/Transportation Interactions
The inherent uncertainty in forecasting the interaction between transportation capacity and induced development has resulted in insufficient analysis of this dynamic in the transportation...

High Speed Rail Loading Scenario and Dynamic Tuning of Track
Similarities and differences exist between conventional and high speed rail (HSR) infrastructure design. The differences stem from the dynamic nature of the HSR loading scenario and the...

Dynamic Study on New Guideway Structure for JR Maglev
This paper presents an introduction of the study for the design and technical development of a newly proposed guideway structure for the superconductive magnetically levitated train system...

The Use of Multibody Software in the Wheel/Rail Contact as Applied to Very High Speed Tests
How strange may it be, the behaviour of railway vehicles depend on contact forces developing between wheels and rails inside patches of no more than 1 cm2....

Nekton Use of Salt Marshes of the Southeast Region of the United States
Published studies of nekton in salt marshes of the Southeast Region of the U.S. were reviewed to identify fish and decapod crustaceans associated with marsh-surface habitats, to describe...

Responsible Governmental Structures: Coastal Management in the United States, Great Britain, and Australia
Commentators studying the coastal management strategies adopted by various countries have frequently criticized the lack of centralized national authorities aimed specifically at coastal...

A Classification of the Coastal Dunes of Louisiana
The aeolian deposits of the barrier coastlines of Louisiana to the west of the active delta of the Mississippi have been studied intensively for almost 20 years. The dunes, dune terraces...

Coast Dynamics and Coast-Protective Measures on the Crimean Black Sea Coast
The main data on hydro- and lithodynamics of the Crimean Black Sea coast are presented. The principal coast-protecting measures are described as used on various coast sections. The construction...

The Specific Features of Modern Dynamics and Coast Structure of the Black Sea Within Romania
The Romanian Black Sea coasts are studied inadequately in comparison with Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian, and Bulgarian coasts. Abundant data have been collected in the Danube delta. The...

About Some Dynamic Conditions of the Beach Sedimentary Strata Formation on the Bulgarian Sandy Coast of the Black Sea
Based on detailed studying of the beach sedimentary sequence composition in sections of perpendicular trenches in the western (Bulgarian) coast of the Black sea and comparison with results...

Morphology of the Southern North Sea Coast from Cape Blanc-Nez (F) to Den Helder (NL)
The southeastern North Sea coast of France, Belgium and the Netherlands (up to Den Helder) is characterized by coastal dunes, sandy beaches and a shallow, gently shoreface. In the Delta...
