Cooling towers are high and thin structures which widely used at the industry nuclear facilities. These built on column elements as reinforced concrete. Determining behavior of buildings affected by dynamic loads such wind earthquake is very important in terms preventing loss life property. In this study, hyperbolic cooling with 117m height tower was examined behaviors structure effects were in...

Abstract An underground integrated pipeline corridor is a long-line structure that accommodates various municipal pipelines such as water supply, reclaimed water, storm communication, heat, electricity, and natural gas. Seismic hazard the main factor affecting safety of this important urban lifeline project, so seismic analysis urgent. To end, in paper, based on generalized reaction displacemen...

Few studies have been published on the dynamic centrifuge model test of cohesive soil under earthquake action. The seismic response foundation and tunnel was studied by experiment numerical modelling. Through a comparison acceleration results pore pressure displacement foundation, influence is discussed. weak position predicted effective show that: (1) Under Parkfield wave, natural frequency wi...

composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes.  carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance with high specific strength and stiffness. these properties led to their numerous advanced applications ranging from military and civil aircraft structures to consumer products. the modelling of beams undergoing arbitrarily ...

numerical methods such as boundary element and finite element methods are widely used for the stress analysis in solid mechanics. this study presents boundary element method based on the displacement discontinuity formulation to solve general problems of interaction between hydraulic fracturing and discontinuities. the crack tip element and a higher order boundary displacement collocation techn...

In this paper, scouring shear failure theory is optimized based on the gangue slope near thermal power field in Baiguo Town, Panzhou City, Guizhou Province. Based particle flow PFC (particle code) 3D fluid–solid coupling method, mechanism of ditch no. 5 comprehensively analyzed from perspectives mode, displacement, motion track, and stress–strain. We consider respect (c, φ); dominated by two ty...

the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...

This paper evaluates a strategy that would target sales of internal combustion vehicles driven at high annual mileage for displacement by electric the time initial sale. Using 2017 National Household Travel Survey data, we observe top 20% light duty kilometers traveled generate 46% greenhouse gas emissions. Displacing sale engine vehicle in quintile with an reduce emissions and certain criteria...
