This work presents a computer-based analysis of semi-rigid steel frames. The geometric nonlinearity of the structure and the material nonlinearity of the connections are considered in the analysis. The critical load has ...

This study was undertaken to determine the mechanical behavior of lime- stabilized clayey sands. The variations of compressive and tensile strengths of materials were investigated. Uniaxial and indirect tensile tests were ...

Due to decreasing precipitation in recent years, lack of perennial surface water resources, and the high volume of groundwater extraction in the vicinity of Tashk Lake (called Tavabe-e-Arsanjan), the groundwater level ...

Various parameters affect the number of household trips, therefore it can be claimed that the first step in the modeling of trip-generation is identification of the most important of these parameters. In this research the ...

In this study, a certain characteristic of neural networks called Self Organizing Feature Maps (SOFM's) was applied to pollution source identification in the Kor and Sivand Rivers located inFars Province,Iran. Wastewater ...

The effect of synthetic leachate on the hydraulic conductivity of a clayey soil in the Urmia city landfill site, Iran, was investigated using a triaxial permeability apparatus. The bladder accumulators were fabricated for ...

Crushed tile is an industrial waste that causes environmental pollution. Therefore the possible utilization of this material would reduce environmental pollution. The utilization of crushed tile as a coarse aggregate in ...

In this paper, the direct boundary element method in time domain is used for the calculation of local amplifications of seismic waves by real 3-dimensional surface topographies. The presented method is effective for modelling ...
