Evaluating Shear Resisting Capacity of Single Anchors at Bridge Bearing Connection According to Embedment Depth

Local Scour at Single Column Arrangement of Bridge Piles Group

In regard to wide piers, the pile group rather than single pile is used frequently to bear the loading of the structure in a particular arrangement; piles group composed of only one column of piles in the flow direction has a great effect on supporting the bridge deck. In this study, local scour at a single column arrangement of the piles group made up of four rows of piles characterized by dif...

Bearing Capacity of Sheet Hanger Connection to the Trapezoidal Metal Sheet

Hanging to the trapezoidal sheet by a very widespread solution used in civil engineering to lead the distribution of energy, sanitary, air distribution system etc. under the roof or floor structure. The trapezoidal decking part of the whole installation system for specific distribution medium. The leading companies offer installation systems for each specific distribution e.g. pipe rings, sprin...

Tests to Determine the Joint Stiffness and Resisting Moment Capacity of Joints in Timber-Framed Houses

Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...

Single Station Event Location: Epicentral Distance, Bearing, and Focal Depth

The most sensitive and reliable methods for locating small-magnitude regional seismic events using records from a single, three-component station require knowledge of the near-station and along-path crustal structure. Unfortunately, obtaining information about crustal structure is time-consuming and may be costly. Furthermore, different location methods may be required depending on the lateral ...
