Experimental evaluation of negative skin friction on floating pile in gypseous soil
Magazine of Civil EngineeringGypseous soils are characterized by an open structure with developed porosity and high gypsum content, which determines their metastable state. When saturated with water, a decrease in volume occurs as a result of a decrease in matrix suction and ...

Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) on the Square and Triangular Tall Buildings to Measure Drag Force
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 The wind load issues play a significant role in designing tall buildings, which has sometimes been considered an even more essential factor than earthquake loads. Also, investigating wind behavior in tall buildings is a crucial issue in architectural and

Wind Forces in Overgrown Rope Façades
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2021 Overgrown rope façades offer a space-saving possibility to make cities greener while counteracting the effect of the urban heat island (UHI). Unfortunately, there are no design models that adequately characterise the interaction between wind and plants ...

A comparison of coaxial and conventional rotor performance [PDF]
, 2009 The performance of a coaxial rotor in hover, in steady forward flight, and in level, coordinated turns is contrasted with that of an equivalent, conventional rotor with the same overall solidity, number of blades, and blade aerodynamic properties.

Experimental study on vortex induced vibration of risers with fairing considering wake interference
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2017 Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) is a typical flow-structure interference phenomenon which causes an unsteady flow pattern due to vortex shedding at or near the structure's natural frequency leading to resonant vibrations.

Simulation of drag reduced conductors based on a new accurate model using finite element method
The Journal of Engineering, 2019 For improving the reliability of power transmission lines, it is urgent to reduce the horizontal load and wind deviation, while replacing with drag reduced conductors can achieve it without changing the original transmission line path.
