LITTORAL DRIFT MANAGEMENT—A SUCCESS STORY OF VISAKHAPATNAM PORT

ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2011
ABSTRACT Though the complex littoral drift phenomenon is left unnoticed on natural open coasts in view of its ‘large time-scale’ evolutionary effects on beach morphology, the same can never be ignored when open coast port developments are planned particularly in large littoral drift regions. This paper reveals the success story of port of Visakhapatnam

Calculation Methods for Inter-Story Drifts of Building Structures

Advances in Structural Engineering, 2014
The current methods for calculating the inter-story harmful drift are evaluated, and new concepts of the inter-story average shear drift and the inter-story average rotation are proposed in this paper. The definitions and contents of the inter-story harmful and harmless drift are introduced.

Earthquake response of ten-story story-drift-controlled reinforced concrete frames with hysteretic dampers

Engineering Structures, 2010
Abstract To date, most studies on the earthquake response of building structures with hysteretic dampers have defined the mechanical properties of dampers based on a required yield strength and stiffness. Moreover, some previous studies have also shown that the performance of hysteretic dampers is influenced by the damage in the main structure ...

Probabilistic Estimation of Seismic Story Drifts in Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2005
Probabilistic techniques are of vital use in predicting the seismic story drifts of buildings, which vary due to uncertainties in the characteristics of future earthquake motions. This paper proposes a procedure for evaluating the expected mean and standard deviation of seismic story drifts of reinforced concrete buildings by considering both total and

Doctors drifting: autonomy and career uncertainty in young physicians’ stories

Social Science & Medicine, 2001
In the early 1990s unemployment among physicians was experienced, though transiently, in Finland for the first time. The situation was new both for the entire profession and for professionals, especially for young doctors and medical students who were given pessimistic prospects for the future.

Story‐Drift, Shear, and OTM Estimation from Building Seismic Records

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1994
A method of determining story drift, shear, and overturning moment (OTM) from building seismic records is presented. A system‐identification technique based on modal synthesis is used first to obtain parameters of dominant modes in the building response.
