Seismic Performance and Flexural Capacity Analysis of Embedded Steel Plate Composite Shear Wall Structure with Fiber-Reinforced Concrete in the Plastic Hinge Zone

open access: yesBuildings
Due to its high axial bearing capacity and good ductility, the embedded steel plate composite shear wall structure has become one of the most widely used lateral force-resisting structural members in building construction.

The effect of internal pipe wall roughness on the accuracy of clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Clamp-on transit-time ultrasonic flowmeters (UFMs) suffer from poor accuracy compared with spool-piece UFMs due to uncertainties that result from the in-field installation process.

The Effect of Infill Steel Plate Thickness on the Cycle Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls

open access: yesDiyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2018
Steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is commonly used in civil schemes because of its good deformability and stiffness. In this research, the numerical analysis of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) with unstiffened infill steel plate is conducted.
