Analysis of Shear Walls under Compression and Bending
Design of shear walls is a complex procedure, especially if the cross section of the shear wall is not regular in shape. Shear walls are usually treated like cantilevers fixed at the foundation level. Normally, lift wells are designed as shear walls. The design of shear walls takes horizontal forces into account by shear and bending. Design for shear in the walls can be managed by computing the...
متن کاملParameterization for subgrid-scale motion of ice-shelf calving fronts
A parameterization for the motion of ice-shelf fronts on a Cartesian grid in finite-difference land-ice models is presented. The scheme prevents artificial thinning of the ice shelf at its edge, which occurs due to the finite resolution of the model. The intuitive numerical implementation diminishes numerical dispersion at the ice front and enables the application of physical boundary condition...
متن کاملCalving and rifting on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica
On 2 March 2016, several small en échelon tabular icebergs calved from the seaward front of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, and a previously inactive rift widened and propagated by ∼3 km, ∼25% of its previous length, setting the stage for the future calving of a∼14 km iceberg. Within 24 h of these events, all remaining land-fast sea ice that had been stabilizing the ice shelf broke-up. The events were w...
متن کاملinvestigation of the optimum steel shear walls
during the last few decades, steel shear walls have been adopted as efficient lateral resisting systems for high rise structures and numerous researches have been conducted on their static and dynamic behavior. steel shear walls have been utilized for retrofitting existing structures, as well as in design of new buildings in japan and usa. in this research, we have focused on the optimization o...
متن کاملA Mechanism for the High Rate of Sea Ice Thinning in the Arctic Ocean
Submarine measurements of sea ice draft show that the ice has thinned in some parts of the Arctic Ocean at a remarkably high rate over the past few decades. The spatial pattern indicates that the thinning was a strong function of ice thickness, with the greatest thinning occurring where the ice was thickest initially. A similar relationship between sea ice thinning and the initial thickness is ...
