An Efficient, Accurate Technique for Navier-Stokes Solution
Solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for a Newtonian, incompressible fluid (such as water) requires both accuracy in the assuring conservation of mass and efficiency of convergence....

Design of Bridge Piers Against Ship Collision
Design rules for unprotected bridge piers, using uniform safety requirements, are proposed. The selection of an appropriate design vessel is based on a risk assessment model which uses...

Sunshine Skyway Ship Collision Criteria
The 'new' crossing of Sunshine Skyway was born, not only to replace the previous crossings and improve the regional economy but also with increased clearances...

Seismic Response of Simple Structures with Coulomb Damping
A single story structure incorporating a floor-sliding mechanism for dissipation of vibration energy through Coulomb friction damping is examined. The response of this structure is evaluated...

Response Charts for Designing Against Nuclear Overpressures
The single-degree-of-freedom equation of motion for an elastic-plastic system with a nuclear airblast overpressure forcing function is nondimensionalized and solved. Solutions are presented...

Limiting Performance and Design by Reanalysis of Structures for Blast Resistance
Limiting performance is the absolute optimal response of a structure under a specified transient load. Reanalysis methods are computational techniques for analyzing locally modified large-scale...

Cumulative Damage of Structures
Structural response records may be analyzed to estimate relative motions of civil engineering structures. Several methods are available for the estimation of cumulative damage on the basis...

New Directions in the Application of Probabilistic Concepts in the Seismic Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants
During the last 8 years, probabilistic concepts have been used in the seismic analysis of nuclear power plants. Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) has been the primary vehicle for performing...

Coastal Hydrodynamics
This book includes papers presented at the ASCE Specialty Conference on Coastal Hydrodynamics Conference, at the University of Delaware, June 28-July 1, 1987. The papers review the state...

A Simulation/Animation of an Inland Railway Container Terminal
The Container Terminal Model (CTM) comprises a batch computer simulation model and interactive graphics animation package. The model has been developed to aid engineers and transportation...

Drilling Unit Approval and Sea Ice, Alaska OCS
This paper describes types of ice conditions that have been, or could be, encountered while conducting Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) operations. The types of ice monitoring programs,...

Repair Welding of Arctic Offshore Structures and Vessels
This paper describes the welding procedure development for repair or field modifications of offshore drilling structures and vessels made with several different steel grades produced for...

The Lanczos Method in Structural Dynamics
The solution of the equations of motion often results in the solution of an eigenvalue problem in which the system matrices are large. Traditionally, the solution of this problem has employed...

Improved Method for the Dynamic Response of Bilinear Systems
A procedure is presented to eliminate the error introduced in the step-by-step numerical integration of the equations of motion of hysteretic bilinear systems subjected to earthquake excitations...

Preliminary Seismic Risk Maps for Puget Sound
Ground shaking during Puget Sound earthquakes is characterized by irregularly shaped areas of high intensity ground motion, not all of which are correlated with soil type. Simulation of...

Seismic Risk Analysis of LNG Storage Tanks
This paper presents an approach to the seismic safety review of existing LNG storage tanks. The approach considers the seismic hazards from ground motion, surface fault rupture, and soil...

Future Containerships from a Ship Owner's Viewpoint
This paper is a presentation of the author's projection of size and design constraints of future containerships. There is a discussion of containers and on-deck container...

Importance of Phasing of Strong Ground Motion in the Estimation of Structural Response
In this paper, the influence on Fourier phase spectrum of seismic source directivity due to rupture propagation along the earthquake source is investigated. The phasing is described using...

Dynamic Testing of Structures Using the RESCUE Technique
This paper describes the most recent phase of an NSF supported program at SRI International to develop the technique of repeatable earth shaking by controlled underground expansion (RESCUE)...

Field Tests of Wind-Structure Interaction
The present study was initiated to investigate the possible causes for excessive lamp failure rates on High Mast illumination towers in the State of Minnesota. The study consisted of two...
