The Effect of Vertical Component of Earthquake on Continuous and Monolithic Frame Bridges

Performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (VCE) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. In most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, VCE is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of VCE. In the present work, the effect of VCE on two existing...

MKS - MOA Musculoskeletal Monday

Patients were divided in 4 groups (Habermayer classification) and evaluated for an unstable LHBT:10 patients had superior gleno-humeral ligament (SGHL) tear (Type I),16 patients SGHL and supraspinatus (SSP) tendon tears (Type II),21 patients SGHL and subscapularis (SSC) tendon tears (Type III) and 23 patients SGHL, SSP and SSC tears (Type IV). At arthroscopy 2 patients were negative,8 patients ...

GA-Based Precast Production Planning System

Appropriate production plans can make resources utilized effectively as well as minimize waste. However, currently most of the precast fabricators propose production plans depending on the rule of thumb, resulting in the squander of resources and postponed delivery. Computerized scheduling techniques provide more precise outcomes than those made manually. The goal of this study is to develop a ...

Advantages of Large Strands in Precast/Prestressed Concrete Highway Application

The objective of this research is to investigate the advantages of using large-diameter 0.7 inch prestressing strands in pretention applications. The advantages of large-diameter strands are mainly beneficial in the heavy construction applications. Bridges and tunnels are subjected to a higher daily traffic with an exponential increase in trucks ultimate weight, which raise the demand for highe...
