Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics
The theme of these Proceedings is Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Hydraulics. As indicated by the title, the subject crosses disciplinary boundaries and deals with flow...

Available Compaction Equipment
When discussing available compaction equipment we must keep in mind the purpose of compaction. Compaction is the art of artificially increasing the density or increasing the unit weight...

Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
The choice of a seismic damage assessment method depends fundamentally on how the assessment will be used, but always involves definition of the expected ground motion and the structure...

ATC Methodology and Data for Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
Recently developed Applied Technology Council (ATC) methodology and data provide a technical basis for rapid assessment of structure seismic vulnerability. Methodology developed under...

Nonlinear Quasi-Static and Transient Response Analysis of Shallow Shells: Formulations and Interior/Boundary Element Algorithms
Nonlinear integral equations are derived for the representation of displacements of shallow shells undergoing moderately large, quasi-static or dynamic deformations. A combined interior/boundary...

Seismic Response of Pipes Supported on Complex Frames
Analytical approaches and modeling techniques used to calculate seismic responses of piping systems, supported on complex open-frame structures, are evaluated. Seismic responses are obtained...

Offshore Platforms Subjected to Wave Forces
The dynamic analyses of offshore platforms are mostly based on the lumped mass matrix method in the frequency domain. Although the approximations involved in the lumped mass matrix method...

Explosive Loading of Surface Ships
This paper describes the recent development of numerical methods which have accurately predicted the response of surface ships subjected to underwater explosion tests. The technique couples...

The Effects of P-Delta and Semi-Rigid Connections on Response Behavior of Inelastic Steel Frames Subjected to Cyclic and Seismic Loadings
A numerical method is presented for analyzing semi-rigid connected steel frames subjected to various time-dependent excitations with consideration of damping, nonlinear material behavior...

Bidirectional Seismic Response of Simple Structures
For design purposes it has been common to consider that seismic excitations act in one direction at a time. Analytical studies over the past decade have indicated that this may not be...

A Microcomputer Reservoir Decision Model
The paper discusses the development of a dynamic programming model to optimize reservoir operations. Given statistical summaries of inflows, forecasts of near-term inflows, and cost statements...
