Abstract

The standards make recommendations regarding the seismic loads, the simplified methods of structural analysis, the criteria that must be applied to ensure its good global seismic behavior, as well as the earthquake resistant design details that must be applied. The structural analysis [...]

Abstract

The monograph highlights the way in which, in the long term, the application of design standards can lead to a reduction of seismic risk in urban areas. The seismic design standards make recommendations regarding the seismic loads to be used, the simplified methods of structural [...]

Abstract

In this study, the basic configuration and operation concept of a CO"sub"2"/sub" terminal were identified by conducting a system engineering process. The performance goal of a CO"sub"2"/sub" terminal was determined by requirement analysis. Then, functions and timelines were derived [...]

Abstract

Architectural documentation is a key element of knowing our cultural heritage. The heterogeneity and complexity of this documentation causes problems in their proper description and subsequent retrieval in databases. This work focuses on a specific typology within this type of documentation: [...]

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design and develop fast and efficient machines for manufacturing high quality coal logs. During the last three months, efforts were focused on the revision and improvement of the design of the 300-ton hydraulic press machine for coal log production. [...]

Abstract

This document provides results and conclusions for Task 15.0--Detailed Analysis of Air Balance & Conceptual Design of Improved Air Manifolds in the ''Technologies to Enhance the Operation of Existing Natural Gas Compression Infrastructure'' project. SwRI{reg_sign} is conducting this [...]

Abstract

Throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) complex there are many facilities that have been identified for Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D). As processes are terminated or brought off-line, facilities are placed on the inactive list, and facility managers and site contractors [...]

Abstract

Arch structure is a widely used and important structure type all over the World. Due to its beautiful form and large spanning capacity, arch structure is widely used in bridges, tunnels and other buildings. Recently, the large span space arch structure has a stage of development. [...]

Abstract

Over the past decades, different approaches, physical and geometrical, were implemented to identify the optimal shape, reducing the internal stresses, of grid shells and vaults. As far as their original organic [...]
