A new algorithm—Mixed Finite Element Method, was proposed for nonlinear dynamic fictional contact problems of high arch dams with contraction joints. Based on this meth [...]

A new FEM seismic stability safety evaluation for high arch dam abutment is suggested in this paper. The shear strengths on the sliding surfaces are divided by different [...]

Eight specimens of honeycombed steel beam and welded compound-ring-hoop column composite joints, designed in 4 different types of connection, were tested under cyclic hor [...]

One multi-channel high capacity synchronous digital strong-motion recorder (MCSMR) was designed for the Digital Strong-motion Monitoring Plan of China Earthquake Administ [...]

One strong-motion monitoring system for dam-reservoir strong motion observation was introduced in this paper. This system includes three parts, strong-motion monitoring d [...]

Where the self weight of the overall slab needs to be considered, the quantity of in-situ concrete required can be reduced by the

The openings in the webs of beams in building are necessary for the passage of utility ducts. This study aims to investigate the behavior of steel reinforced concrete (SR [...]

To provide passive heat storage in buildings, materials exhibiting a phase-change within building operating temperature can be incorporated into the envelope material. Th [...]
