Survival of Reinforced Concrete Flat Plate System against Column Loss
Column loss in a flat plate building, due to punching shear, explosion, impact load or any acci-dental event, can lead to what is termed progressive collapse.

Experimental calibration and head loss prediction of tuned liquid column damper [PDF]
In this paper, the experimental investigation to systematically calibrate the basic properties of tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) is conducted. Under harmonic excitation, the exact solution of the liquid response in TLCD is firstly derived and it is ...

Experimental Tests of Steel Unstiffened Double Side Joints with Flush and Extended End Plate
Experimental tests of steel unstiffened double side bolted end-plate joints have been presented. The main aim of the conducted tests was to check the behavior of joints in an accidental situation and possibility of creating secondary mechanism, i.e ...

Three-dimensional model study of the Arctic ozone loss in 2002/2003 and comparison with 1999/2000 and 2003/2004 [PDF]
We have used the SLIMCAT 3-D off-line chemical transport model (CTM) to quantify the Arctic chemical ozone loss in the year 2002/2003 and compare it with similar calculations for the winters 1999/2000 and 2003/2004.

Ozone loss derived from balloon-borne tracer measurements in the 1999/2000 Arctic winter [PDF]
Balloon-borne measurements of CFC11 (from the DIRAC in situ gas chromatograph and the DESCARTES grab sampler), ClO and O3 were made during the 1999/2000 Arctic winter as part of the SOLVE-THESEO 2000 campaign, based in Kiruna (Sweden).

Influence of sudden column loss on dynamic response of steel moment frames under blast loading [PDF]
Modeling buildings response to blast and subsequent progressive collapse interested more and more researchers during the past two decades. Due to the threat from extreme loading, efforts have been made to develop methods of structural analysis and ...

Performance of Three-Dimensional Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Substructures under Loss of a Corner Column Scenario [PDF]
AbstractThe vulnerability of conventional RC structures to structural failure caused by the loss of corner columns has been emphasized over the past years. However, the lack of experimental tests has led to a gap in the knowledge for the design of RC building structures to mitigate the likelihood of progressive collapse caused by losing a ground corner

Reconciliation of essential process parameters for an enhanced predictability of Arctic stratospheric ozone loss and its climate interactions [PDF]
Significant reductions in stratospheric ozone occur inside the polar vortices each spring when chlorine radicals produced by heterogeneous reactions on cold particle surfaces in winter destroy ozone mainly in two catalytic cycles, the ClO dimer cycle and
