An Information System on the Performance of Suspension Bridges Under Wind Loads
While most suspension bridges for which information is available, in operation between the period: 1701-1992, have performed satisfactorily under wind loads, a few bridges were destroyed,...
Wind-Induced Vibrations of Tall Buildings Using Tuned Mass Damper
A Lagrange formulation is applied to tall buildings using tuned mass damper. The resulting equations of motion are analyzed using a frequency window method. The method reduces the computational...
Reliability-Based Design of Transmission Towers Under Wind and Ice Loadings
This study suggests a practical but rational approach for the development of reliability-based LRFD criteria for transmission towers under wind and ice loadings in Korea. Based on available...
Buckling of Cylindrical Storage Tanks Due to Unsymmetric Lateral Wind Load
Non-linear finite element analysis is used to study the elastic stability of cylindrical storage tanks subjected to unsymmetrical loads. These cylindrical shells are assumed to be fixed...
The Effect of Nonlinear Drag PSD on Fatigue of Compliant Offshore Structures
Structural fatigue damage induced by random ocean wave loading on a compliant type of offshore structure is considered. The nonlinear wave force is modeled by the Morison equation and...
Field Measurements of Wind-Induced Pressures on Roofs of Low Buildings
Full-scale measurements have been carried out on an experimental building, 3.3 m high, beside the football field at the Loyola campus of Concordia University. Wind-induced pressures have...
Jatiluhur Dam: Problems and Rehabilitation
The Jatiluhur Dam in Indonesia, completed in 1965, is an innovative design consisting of rockfill embankment with a clay core and a vertical cylindrical Intake Spillway. Within the Intake...
Landslide Stabilisation at the Clyde Power Project, New Zealand
The Clyde Power Project is a hydro electric development on the Clutha River in the South Island of New Zealand. A wide range of stabilization measures have been used to treat several large...
Development of the Service & Maintenance Segment of the Transportation System
This paper discusses the progress to date in establishing the Service and Maintenance Segment of the Transportation System required to maintain the equipment required to transport spent...
Site and Facility Waste Transportation Planning Documents (SPDs): Status and Findings
Site and Facility Waste Transportation Services Planning Documents (SPDs) are detailed desk-top reference documents that initiate planning for shipping commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF)...
IAEA Activities in Long-Term Storage of Spent Fuel
According to its Statute, one of the main goals of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of Atomic Agency to peace, health and prosperity...
The Long Term Interim Storage of Spent AGR Fuel
This paper describes the work undertaken by Scottish Nuclear Ltd. on the proposal to construct a naturally cooled dry store for spent advanced gas cooled reactor fuel at Tornes Power Station,...
Spent Fuel Interim Storage: French Experience with Dry Vaults
This paper explains the main criteria which are applied as well as measures taken to preserve cladding integrity for the foreseen duration of storage. It discusses in detail the double...
TVO-92 Safety Analysis of Spent Fuel Disposal
Spent fuel from the TVO I and TVO II reactors is planned to be disposed of in a repository to be constructed at a depth of about 500 meters in crystalline bedrock. The fuel will be encapsulated...
The Impact of Using Reduced-Capacity Baskets on Cask Fleet Size and Cask Fleet Mix
The Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System transportation system will encounter a wide range of spent fuel characteristics. Since the Initiative I casks are being designed to transport...
Impact of More Conservative Cask Designs on the CRWMS Transportation System
The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management has been working since the mid-1980s to develop a cask fleet, which will include legal weight truck and rail/barge casks, for the transport...
Educational Programs at Penn State Breazeale Reactor?A Focus on Waste
Discussions about energy policy and issues focus on environmental impact of energy production and the generation of waste. When dealing specifically with nuclear energy, one of the major...
The Pursuit of International Science Literacy Through Energy Education: An Interdisciplinary Model for Curriculum Development
