Energy-dissipation in Seismic Retrofit RC Building with Friction Dampers [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have suffered severe damage in the past due to inadequate lateral force resistance or energy dissipation capability. There is a need to improve the seismic performance of existing, vulnerable RC structures, particularly

Mechanical Response Analysis for an Active–Passive Pile Adjacent to Surcharge Load
Applied Sciences, 2023 Due to the complexity of pile–soil interaction, there is little research on active–passive piles that bear the pile-top load transmitted from the superstructure and the pile shaft load caused by the lateral soil movement around the pile simultaneously ...

Directional stability of an agricultural tractor [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2021 The discrepancy between the plow width and the tractor width leads to the asymmetry of plowing units. The geometry of the plowshare surface of the moldboard plow contributes to the generation of lateral forces on the working tool.
