Short link beams in Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are generally preferred to long ones mainly due to their high rotation capacity and energy dissipation under cyclic loadings. However, long links have the advantage ...

In order to evaluate dynamic behaviors of floating offshore wind turbine, the authors consider two approaches. A numericalmethod is used to investigate a tension leg platform (TLP) offshore wind turbine response behavior ...

In this paper, the Mixed Discrete Least Squared Meshless (MDLSM) method is used for solving the quadratic partial differential equations (PDEs). In MDLSM method the domain is discretized only with nodes and a minimization ...

In situ soil properties are spatially variable parameters causing soil deposits to be heterogeneous. Heterogeneity consists of two components: (i) A deterministic trend and (ii) The residual component. This paper presents ...

In this research,the impact of climate change on extreme rainfall events in Chenar-Rahdar Basin, Shiraz, Iran, was investigated utilizing three statistical downscaling methods; namely change factor, LARS-WG, and SDSM. Daily ...

The main concern of this investigation is to evaluate the ability of Delft3D-flow package to study distribution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) over the depth in the Dithmarschen Bight. The area consists of tidal ...
