Base Isolation Systems – A State of the Art Review According to Their Mechanism
Seismic isolation is a method to reduce the destructive effects of earthquakes on a structure in which the structure is separated from its foundation by devices called seismic isolators. As a result, the horizontal movements of the earthquake transmitted to the structure are reduced. The seismic isolation is used for both newly constructed structures as well as for retrofitting the existing bui...
متن کاملOptimization of natural gas pipeline transportation using ant colony optimization
In this paper, an Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (ACO) is proposed for operations of steady flow gas pipeline. The system is composed of compressing stations linked by pipe legs. The decisions variables are chosen to be the operating turbo compressor number and the discharge pressure for each compressing station. The objective function is the power consumed in the system by these stations. U...
متن کاملState-of-the-art Natural Gas Pipe Inspection
Introduction: The safety of the Unites States’ natural gas supply is of prime importance since 30% of the energy produced in the country is derived from it. Natural gas is supplied through a million miles of vast pipeline network [1]. Pipeline companies have an impressive safety record due to the proactive role of standards and inspection of pipelines. Since the pipelines are getting old, there...
متن کاملcritical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language
since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...
15 صفحه اولA state-of-the-art review of mechanical rock excavation technologies
The first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. Constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. Also, mechanical excavation and mining is more compatible with automation, meaning possibility of reduc...
