Cylindrical concrete tanks are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants. These are usually clarifier tanks. Design codes of practice provide methods to calculate design forces in the wall and raft of such tanks. These ...

This paper presents an Auto Redundant Technique for analysis of grid with curved members.This technique is based on the force method, but in the technique choice of the redundant iscompletely eliminated. The ...

Worldwide networks of seismic recording instruments mostly record only translational ground motion in two or three orthogonal directions. Rotational component of earthquake is not commonly recorded. Several theories are ...

The pseudo-elastic behavior of Shape memory alloy (SMA) truss and cantilever beam are investigated. Brinson's one-dimensional material model, which uses the twinned and detwinned martensite fractions separately as internal ...

Experimental tests were performed to study the seismic behavior and performance ofmodified steel chevron braced frame systems, which incorporate a vertical slotted connection(VSC) detail between the top of the ...
