Abstract—This study investigated the change of weir structure performances when durability of concrete, which is the main material of weir structure, decreased due to their aging by mean of seismic fragility analysis. In the analysis, it was assumed that the elastic modulus of concrete was reduced by 10% in order to account for their aged deterioration. Additionally, the analysis of seismic fra...

A fractional trapezoidal rule type difference scheme for fractional order integro-differential equation is considered. The equation is discretized in time by means of a method based on the trapezoidal rule: while the time derivative is approximated by the standard trapezoidal rule, the integral term is discretized by means of a fractional quadrature rule constructed again from the trapezoidal r...

Nowadays, developed and applied hydrology become very important thing in the life due to the wide verity advantages for the applications of this field. Hydraulic Structures such as crump weir are placed in channels to estimate or measure flow rate and flow control devices. In this study there is a new performance for crump weir which appears by adding opening holes in the model  of crump weir. ...

For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

We study the parsing complexity of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) in the formalism of Vijay-Shanker and Weir (1994). As our main result, we prove that any parsing algorithm for this formalism will necessarily take exponential time when the size of the grammar, and not only the length of the input sentence, is included in the analysis. This result sets the formalism of Vijay-Shanker and We...

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments w...
