PARTIAL-MOMENT-CONNECTION TO THE DECK IN MARINE OIL TERMINALS By Rakesh K. Goel, F.ASCE ABSTRACT This paper presents development of a simplified procedure for seismic evaluation of piles with partial-moment-connection typically used in marine oil terminals. The current seismic evaluation procedure of the piles in marine oil terminals includes monitoring material strains specified in the Marine ...

In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) techniques are developed and applied to identify damage in a model steel girder bridge using dynamic parameters. The required data in the form of natural frequencies are obtained from experimental modal analysis. A comparative study is made using the ANNs and ANFIS techniques and results showed th...
