Practical research of free standing rack (Seismic experiment study on full scale free standing rack)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
The spent fuel taken out of a plant reactor is temporarily stored in a spent fuel rack. This fuel will often have to be stored in the rack for long periods before it can be moved to a reprocessing facility. Therefore, the spent fuel rack must have a high

Dynamic Impedance of the Wide-Shallow Bucket Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbine Using Coupled Finite–Infinite Element Method

Energies, 2019
The dynamic impedances of foundation play an important role in the dynamic behavior and structural stability of offshore wind turbines (OWT). Though the behaviors of bucket foundation, which are considered as a relatively innovative foundation type under

Simulation of rock deformation behavior

Записки Горного института, 2016
A task of simulating the deformation behavior of geomaterials under compression with account of over-extreme branch has been addressed. The physical nature of rock properties variability as initially inhomogeneous material is explained by superposition of deformation and structural transformations of evolutionary type within open nonequilibrium systems.

Behavior of Nonconforming Flexure-Controlled RC Structural Walls Under Reversed Cyclic Lateral Loading

Buildings
Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are essential for ensuring adequate lateral stiffness and strength in buildings located in seismic regions. However, many older structures incorporate nonconforming walls constructed with low-strength concrete ...

A fiber beam-column model for damage assessment of traditional Chinese timber structures

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
This study proposes a fiber beam-column model that takes into account the anisotropy of wood and the embedment behavior of the rocking column to assess the impact of wood damage on the lateral performance of traditional Chinese timber structures ...
