Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Gas Stations: Case Study
Iran is a country with high seismicity while Tehran, the capital city is home to more than 10 million people which are located on the highest seismic zone of the country. There exist 153 gas stations throughout the metropolitan which are constructed to old building codes with little or no attention to the seismic considerations. In this study which was supported by the National Oil Company, fir...
متن کاملCreep behavior of the intact and meniscectomy knee joints.
The mechanical functions of the menisci may be partially performed through the fluid pressurization in articular cartilages and menisci. This creep behavior has not been investigated in whole knee joint modeling. A three-dimensional finite element knee model was employed in the present study to explore the fluid-flow dependent creep behaviors of normal and meniscectomy knees. The model included...
متن کاملSeismic Retrofit for Electric Power Systems
This paper develops a two-stage stochastic program and solution procedure to optimize the selection of seismic retrofit strategies to increase the resilience of electric power systems to earthquake hazards. The model explicitly considers the range of earthquake events that are possible and, for each, an approximation to the distribution of damage that is experienced. This is important because e...
متن کاملUsing Composites in Seismic Retrofit Applications
This report was prepared to provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art for using composite materials for seismic retrofit applications. The emphasis is on seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete columns. The report is presented in eleven chapters. Chapters 1–3 provide a basic introduction to composite materials, including discussions on the types of matrix and reinforcement material...
متن کاملExternal seismic pre-isolation retrofit design
This technical note outlines the design of an external seismic pre-isolation system proposed for use in LIGO Livingston. The goal is to reduce the effects of the site’s excess ground noise in the 1 3 Hz frequency band, allowing detector noise performance equivalent to that of the 4 km LIGO Hanford detector. The center histogram in Figure 8 shows the most troubling aspect of the excess noise qui...
