Offshore wind has become a major contributor to reducing global carbon emissions. This paper presents probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the Sofia Wind Farm, which is located about 200 km north-east of England in southern North Sea and will be one largest offshore farms world once completed. The source characterization composed two areal models four derived using smoothed gridded seismic...

Although computing the transient response of fractional oscillators, characterized by second-order differential equations with derivatives for damping term, to external loadings has been studied, most existing methodologies have dealt cases either restricted orders or simple loadings. In this paper, considering complicated irregular, but deterministic, acting on oscillators any order between 0 ...

Both canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to atmospheric aerosol and trace gas concentrations and meteorological data collected in Chicago during the summer months of 2002, 2003, and 2004. Concentrations of ammonium, calcium, nitrate, sulfate, and oxalate particulate matter, as well as, meteorological parameters temperature, wind speed, wind d...

In this paper we compare & analyze on high rise building, in included the reactions of seismic effect wind. past years many research done Analysis building with and without shear walls. All same work for little (G+10) The current consist correlation between framed wall presence wind force, earthquake etc For design buildings, reinforcement concrete structural walls or are higher resisting m...

Abstract This paper presents the failure analysis of layered clayey slopes with emphasis on combined effect clay’s weakening behavior and seismic loading using particle finite element method (PFEM). Diverse mechanisms have been disclosed via PFEM modelling when strain-weakening clay is concerned. In contrast to a single slope exhibiting either shallow or deep mode, may undergo both modes time i...

This paper summarises the impact of major earthquakes, 2010–2011, on Christchurch’s water supply network and what recovery measures have been applied, what worked well, what did not and why. A number of issues related to the open nature of the Christchurch water supply network were identified during earthquakes. It was difficult to manage large water supply pressure zones during the post-earthq...
