Parallel Computation for Linear Programming
In this paper, the basic Simplex algorithm is reexamined. Computational steps which can be done in parallel are identified, and a parallel version of the Simplex method is implemented...

Time Dependent Analysis of Partially Prestressed Composite Members
The object of the paper is to develop a computer based procedure for analysis of members made up of precast prestressed concrete sections with cast-in-place topping. The procedure accounts...

Application Examples of FEM to Concrete Structures
The paper illustrates the practical application of the FEM by means of examples for plain/reinforced/prestressed concrete structures. These examples, including both global and local analyses...

Some Examples of Stochastic Linear Reservoirs

A Tracer-Model for Morphological Simulations of an Estuary
Numerical models for longterm morphological simulations are traditionally based on assumptions like vertical integration of the flow and transport equations and their decoupled treatment....

General Formulation of Best Hydraulic Channel Section
The best hydraulic channel section is determined by using Lagrange's method of undetermined multipliers. The approach presented is more general & easier to apply than...

Development of a Linear Motor-Driven Metro System

Inelastic Seismic Analysis of Concrete Buildings
The important inelastic analysis techniques that are suitable for concrete buildings subjected to earthquakes are summarized. Basic principles and practical modeling guidelines are given...

Gamma Exposure from Rn Progeny in GAC Units
An investigation into the gamma exposure rate generated by granular activated carbon (GAC) water treatment units focused on ten sites that covered a range of source radon (Rn) in water...

Fourier Series Expansion on Determination of Response Bound of Beam
Fourier series expansion is suggested to discrete the continuous vibrating system by regarding Fourier constants as generalized displacement parameters. The orthogonal merit to the terms...

A Family of Concurrent Algorithms for Transient Finite Element Solutions
We derive a family of methods for solving the equations of motion arising in structural dynamics which makes effective use of the architecture of concurrent computers. The algorithm is...

Numerical Analysis of Vertically Loaded Pile Groups
An approach is presented for the analysis of linear and nonlinear response of vertically loaded pile groups. The piles are modeled with finite elements, the pile-soil influence through...

Multisite Hydrocomplex Optimization
A multisite complex is analysed in northern Quebec to decide the level of equipment needed that will supply firm energy at the best possible unitary price. Four possible sites were chosen...

An Analysis of Cavitation Damage in a Francis Turbine Operating Under Small Opening Condition
In this paper some new formulae are derived to estimate the pressure and the relative velocities in the crown and the band regions of the Francis turbine runner operating under any gate...

Kaplan Blade Angle Controller
This paper describes a recently developed computerized Kaplan blade angle controller that is capable of improving turbine performance. Model Tests or Index Tests produce the Three-D-Cam...
