factor  is introduced for direct head loss calculation and sizing in dual-diameter laterals of sprinkler and trickle irrigation systems when the hazen-williams equation is to be applied. application of this factor prevents trial and error and uses fewer head-loss equations in calculating the total friction loss and designing dual-diameter laterals. the proposed factor is a function of total num...

simulation of gamma and hadron showers in the energy range 100gev- 25tev has been carried out. for a big ideal cherenkov light array, characteristics of lateral distribution of cherenkov photon density have been studied. results from this ideal detector are compared with those simulated for a real tunka- like array to investigate experimental potential of using existence of a hump in lateral di...

in this study, hydraulic properties of low pressure drip irrigation systems were studied under laboratory conditions and using of the pipes that exist in iran. therefore, effect of various heads from 0.45 to 1.8m was evaluated for lateral pipe with outside diameter 32mm and length of 16, 30, 60 and also the lateral pipe with length 16 and outside diameter of 16, 20, 25 and 32mm, on hydraulic ch...

in many structures, the applied lateral loads are comparable with gravity loads. these types of piles which are subject to high lateral load are usually divided into two categories including long and short piles. the general methods to estimate lateral bearing capacity of short and long piles are based on ultimate bearing capacity and allowable horizontal displacement respectively. in the prese...

braced frames structures have a good lateral stiffness against earthquakes. however, energy loss of their members is slight and strong forces are given to the structures. moment frames have a more flexible function against earthquakes and also have a better flexibility than braced frames. however, since its lateral stiffness is low, too much displacement of the structure results in an increase ...
