Behavior and Strength of Stub-Girder Floor Systems
The paper presents a detailed evaluation of the behavior and strength characteristics of the stub-girder floor system. This is a composite girder and beam structure that integrates the...
Load-Bearing Capacity of Masonry Walls in a Critical Buckling Condition Taking Into Account the Restraining Effect of Floor Slabs
This paper studies the buckling effect of masonry walls and concrete floor slabs as a frame system. The frame is calculated according to the theory of II. order. The buckling length, the...

Update on Impact Effects in Nuclear Plants Part III?Review of Heavy Object Drop
The consequences of an accidental drop of a heavy component from a lifting device in a nuclear power plant are required to be evaluated even though the device may have been designed using...
Behavior of an Operating Floor Subjected to Heavy Load Drops
A structural evaluation of the behavior of a Boiling Water Reactor operating floor subjected to postulated heavy load impact is presented relative to the evaluation of nuclear industry...
State-of-the-Art of Development of Floor Spectra
Floor spectra are used as seismic inputs for the design and qualification of subsystems and equipment. Until very recently, the time history analyses with single acceleration time history...
Acoustic Silt Density Measurement
Significant savings can be achieved on the costs of operations for the deepening and maintenance of navigation channels and harbor basins in muddy areas provided that computations are...
