An HF CODAR Doppler Transponder System
Gulf Oil Exploration and Production Company completed two major phases in the development of a high frequency (HF) CODAR Doppler transponder system for measuring sea ice motion. The system...
Ice Forces on Port Structures Resulting from Moving Ships
Results are described of experiments carried out in Thunder Bay Harbour in March, 1984, to measure ice forces on a port structure. Ice forces were measured by installing five pressure...
Cost-Effective Design of Practically Vibration-Free High-Technology Facilities
Advanced electro-optical equipment, such as that used in the production of integrated circuits, requires clean environments with extremely limited vibrations. Ground motions, personnel...
Quick Stroking: A Fast and Accurate Algorithm for Time-Optimal Valve Closure Synthesis
In this paper, a fast, simple, yet effective technique for valve motion synthesis is developed. This technique called Quick Stroking is applied to a practical example problem, and it may...
Design of Structures to Resist Nuclear Weapons Effects
This manual provides guidance to engineers engaged in designing facilities intended to resist nuclear weapons effects. Although emphasis is placed on blast-resistant design, other effects...
Vibration Problems in Geotechnical Engineering
This volume constitutes the Proceedings of a two-session Symposium whose main objective is to address geotechnical issues related to vibration problems other than those associated with...
Response of Subsystems on Inelastic Structures
Preliminary analyses are performed to obtain insight into the seismic response of subsystems supported on simple structures that yield during severe earthquake ground motions. Current...
A Study of the Correlation of the Components of Instructure Motions During Earthquakes
Thirty-two buildings are selected that have all three components of motion recorded in the basement, midheight and top of the structure. The correlation coefficients of these motions,...
Directional Wave Spectra Applications
These collected papers and their ensuing discussions presented at the September, 1981 symposium at the University of California on directional wave spectra applications examine the present...
Design of Excavation Blasts to Prevent Damage
Effects of ground vibrations on nearby structures and people resulting from blasting operations have become a major environmental problem and concern to the engineer and the contractor...
Supertanker Fixed Berth in Open Ocean
The oil terminal offshore Tomakomai, Japan, is the world's first fixed dock in open ocean. It must withstand 150 mph typhoon winds. To minimize time, cost and danger of open...
Structural Analysis and Design of Nuclear Plant Facilities
Draft Trial Use and Comment (Supplement)
A Comparative Study of Structural Response to Explosion-Induced Ground Motions
The report provides detailed information about the responses of actual structures to loads, both static and dynamics, which can be expected to occur during their service life. The characteristics...
