The effect of internal pipe wall roughness on the accuracy of clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters [PDF]
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 1985 Chile earthquake: Structural characteristics and damage statistics for the building inventory in Vina del Mar [PDF]
The Chile earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0.36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete buildings ranging in height from 5 to 23 stories.

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