A deterministic algorithm for experimental design applied to tomographic and microseismic monitoring surveys [PDF]

, 2004
Most general experimental design algorithms are either: (i) stochastic and hence give different designs each time they are run with finite computing power, or (ii) deterministic but converge to results that depend on an initial or reference design ...

Spatial Variations of Late Quaternary Slip Rates along the Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone in the Eastern Tibet

Remote Sensing
The Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone is a large-scale sinistral strike-slip fault zone on the eastern Tibet. As the boundary fault zone of the Bayankala Block and the Chuandian Block, it controls the clockwise rotation of the southeastern Tibet.

A Nonlinear Static Procedure for the Seismic Design of Symmetrical Irregular Bridges

Shock and Vibration, 2020
Displacement-based seismic design methods support the performance-based seismic design philosophy known to be the most advanced seismic design theory. This paper explores one common type of irregular-continuous bridges and studies the prediction of their

Some considerations on performance-based seismic design

, 2007
In the last years, a substantial change has been brought in the vision of the design objectives of an engineered facility: from the need to ensure its resistance at a minimum cost in a deterministic context, to the more recent design approaches aimed at ...

Effect of C-FRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Rope and Sheet Strengthening on the Shear Behavior of RC Beam-Column Joints

Fibers
This study presents a high-performance external strengthening strategy for reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints, integrating near-surface mounted (NSM) Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (C-FRP) ropes with externally bonded C-FRP sheets. The X-shaped
