In this study, it is aimed to reveal how anchored and unanchored non-structural elements (NEs) in reinforcement concrete (RC) library structures change the earthquake behaviors of these structures. A structure selected for three-dimensional (3D) analysis. First, seismic shake table tests are performed NEs modeled with/without anchorage structure. Owing tests, largest displacement values that oc...

Teich's book will be of interest to three groups of readers. First, specialists in Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) will find a detailed description of the use of SFG theory for a specific application, a discussion of some fundamental problems in the theory that are revealed by the application, and proposals for a modification of SFG theory to handle these problems. Second, those working in na...

abstract reference evapotranspiration (eto) is an essential parameter required for proper management of agricultural crop irrigation. eto is influenced by many different hydrological variables and as a result is a very complex procces. eto is usually estimated by empirical or process-orinented models (mathematical relationships) from historical weather data. the need for accurate estimates of e...

Confusion in the literature about the definition and calculation of repetitive member factors is identified. This confusion casts some doubt on the validity of the 1.15 repetitive member factor permitted in ASTM standards D245 and D1990.

Analytical approximations to Einstein integrals are proposed. The approximations represented by two fast-converging series are valid for all values of their arguments. Accordingly, the algorithm can be easily incorporated into professional software like HEC-RAS or HEC-6 with minimum computational effort.
