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...

a new design for replacing a missing anterior tooth is described. in this article, a lingually fixed partial denture, its advantages, disadvantages, indication and contraindications have been explained. the ability of this design to replace a single missing central or lateral incisor is discussed.

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.

A practical Bridge Management System has been developed by the author, which is referred to as the Japanese Bridge Management System (J-BMS) for existing concrete bridges. This paper introduces a newly developed bridge management system for the prestressed concrete (PC) bridges (J-BMS PC version) which is integrated with the PC bridge rating expert system (PC-BREX). The proposed system is able ...

Consider a connected undirected graph G =< N , E >, where N is the set of n nodes, and E is the set of e edges. Without loss of generality, I assume N to be {1, 2, . . . , n}. An edge (i, j) ∈ E is a bridge of G if the removal of (i, j) disconnects G. Clearly, the removal of a bridge increases the number of connected components of a graph by one. The bridge-connected components problem consists...

Setiap prasarana perkeretaapian harus dilakukan pemeriksaan untuk mengetahui kondisi dan fungsinya, tidak terkecuali pada jembatan kereta api. Metode saat ini masih secara manual, yaitu melakukan langsung terhadap komponen- komponen perkeretaapian, tentunya hal akan membuat waktu menjadi lama. Pemeriksaan komponen-komponen lokasi yang sulit dijangkau dapat menggunakan alat bantu seperti Unmanne...

This paper evaluates an overhead introduced by components that build a framework for inter-ORB request level bridge. It shows that TypeCode processing complexity is the most innuential factor that determines eeciency of almost each generic bridge. This has been experimentally proved by evaluation of the components of the implemented half-bridge between Orbix 1.31 and IIOP domain.
