ON THE RELIABILITY PROBLEMS OF STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO DYNAMICAL LOADS

In fact, the sea wave is considered as a stochastic process. The random characteristics of the sea wave are described by a suitable spectrum. Offshore structures analyzing on random concept may be determined by creating a random wave surface from a defined wave spectrum for the sea area of considera[r]

Introduction In most textbooks on dynamical systems, focus is on continuous systems which leads to the study of differential equations rather than on discrete systems which results in th[r]

There are many issues that make up a design philosophy — for example, the expected service life of a structure, the degree to which future maintenance should be assumed to preserve the original resistance of the structure or should be assumed <[r]

Why are we basing the formulation on displacements? Generally, a design engineer is more interested in the stress to which each truss member is subjected, to compare the stress value to a known material property, such as the yield streng[r]

Dwelling on the case of tubular steel columns, we can observe that, filled with concrete, they present deeply different behaviour from hollow ones and much better performances. There is not only a higher b[r]

In this work, we consider a model formulated by a dynamical system and an elliptic variational inequality. We prove the solvability of initial value and periodic problems. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the applicability of our results.

Design Loads During Construction

Design loads during construction must account for the often short duration of loading[r]

This paper focuses on the numerical simulation model to analyze the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete frames subjected to contact explosion, in which the structural simulation [r]

To bridge the gap between symptoms and treatment, constructing case formulations is essential for clinicians. Limited scientific value has been attributed to case formulations because of problems with quality, reliability, and validity.

The finite element method (FEM) is a very effective numerical analysis tool for the simulation of structural components under various loading conditions. The FEM analysis can be used for material optimization, reliability enhancement, failure analysis and correctiv[r]

Discussion
The MOS-SS is a validated instrument for evaluating the impact of disease on sleep [19,21]. Its utility has been fur- ther demonstrated in chronic pain conditions by charac- terization of clinically important differences in patients with neuropathic pa[r]

This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests on the influence of deep excavation-induced lateral soil movements on the behavior of a model strip footing adjacent to the excavation and supported on reinforced granular soil. Initially, the response of the strip footings supported on un-re[r]

It is vital to introduce at this stage some sample design structural details for the lift shaft walls. On buildings where a lift shaft exists, it is important to provide guidance to the structural detailing of the walls, details to entra[r]
