Effect of Segmental Joint on Internal Forces in Tunnel Lining under Seismic Loading by Numerical Method

Although segmental tunnel linings are often used for seismic areas, the influence of segment joints on the segmental lining behavior under seismic loading has not been thoroughly considered in the literature. This paper presents the results of a numerical study investigating the effects of the rotational, axial, and radial joint stiffness of the longitudinal joints on the structural force...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Internal Forces in Piles “Under External Forces and Earthquake in Homogeneous and Nonhomogeneous Media”

A Method of ForCES Virtualization

Programmability and virtualization have both become the trends of next generation networks. ForCES (Forwarding and Control Element Seperation) is a new programmable framework for network element. We introduce virtualization into ForCES, propose a method of ForCES virtualization, design its framework, implement a prototype system named vForTER, and test its performance in different scenarios. Te...
