Reliability-Centered Management of Wood Transmission Lines
Through implementing reliability-centered management concepts, more cost-effective management of wood pole transmission lines may be achieved. By identifying individual structures and...

Earthquake Ground Motion Modeling with Stochastic Line Source
Principles of geophysics and stochastics are applied to develop an earthquake model, in which the earth medium is idealized as consisting of stratified elastic layers, responding to seismic...

Soil/Structure Seismic Investigation of Safety-Related Structures
This paper promotes an improved understanding of the type of earthquake motions felt at V.C. Summery, Perry and Krsko nuclear power plants. An analytical investigation is performed to...

Fatigue Life Variability and Reliability Analysis of a Wind Turbine Blade
Wind turbines must withstand harsh environments that induce many stress cycles into their components. A numerical analysis package is used to illustrate the sobering variability in predicted...

Tapping Shallow Groundwater with Horizontal Wells
In recent years, horizontal wells have become an economical water supply source alternative for many shallow water table areas in Florida. Horizontal wells typically utilize 15 to 20 cm...

Wellfield Protection Program in Broward County, Florida
The Potable Water Wellfield Protection Program was initiated early in 1981. It examined land uses in the County, made an inventory of potential ground water pollution sources, compiled...
