simple expression is proposed to estimate the fundamental period of vibration for concrete Shear Wall (SW) buildings. Most seismic codes specify empirical period formulas for seismic design. In this study, fundamental ...

Sediment transport is a revalent vital process in fluvial and coastal environments, and incipient motion" is an issue inseparably bound to this topic. This study utilizes a novel hybrid method based on Group Method of Data ...

Petrochemical wastes incinerator ash is generated from industries in which the landfi ll is the last step for their flowing. This research was performed for waste management of ash and its possible large-scale utilization ...

By considering uncertainties in the input parameters (e.g., magnitude, location, wave path, etc.), the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) aims to compute annual rate of various exceeding ground motions at a site ...

In this paper, an analytical formulation is presented to study an exponentially graded transversely isotropic tri-material under applied axisymmetric point-load and patchload with the aid of Hankel transform and use of a ...

In this paper, Arc Based Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm (ABACOA) is used to solve sewer network design optimization problem with proposing two di fferent formulations. In both of the proposed formulations, i.e. UABAC ...

Clay is a low cost and environment-friendly material for construction. On fi ring, it gets hard and attains compressive strength as high as normal concrete. This paper presents the flexural behaviour of singly reinforced ...

For infi ll panels, the expected strength is very close to the cracking strength; however, experimental values of the cracking strength are very scattered, and there is no formula to estimate it accurately. That is why ...

This paper presents a new searching framework for optimal scaling of earthquake ground motion records as inputs for dynamics analysis. Two hybrid-coded Genetic Algorithms (GA), named real-permutation and binary-permutation ...

Galicia, placed in northwest of Spain, is a clear example of global wind energy development as a consequence of its climate conditions. Despite this fact, previous research works have indicated a climate change in the next ...
