It is often difficult to collect many examples for low-frequency words from a single general purpose corpus. In this paper, I present a method of building a database of Japanese adjective examples from special purpose Web corpora (SPW corpora) and investigates the characteristics of examples in the database by comparison with examples that are collected from a general purpose Web corpus (GPW co...

This paper studied effects of ultrasonic treatment during the solidification process on structure formation of low carbon steel. Results showed that with ultrasonic treatment grains were refined and the steel ingot avoided the cast widmanstatten structure. When ultrasonic treatment was employed, pearlite was broken and the average length of pearlite was decreased from 550mm to 140mm. The corres...

For some electrostatic precipitators, profiled steel sheets are used as casing wall which is subjected to both bending and vertical compression. By nonlinear finite element method, the influences of structural parameters on load bearing capacity of profiled steel sheet wall were investigated. For the loading path, the uniform transversal pressure was applied firstly, and then the vertical compr...

Steel extended end plate bolted connections are recommended to be widely utilized in special moment-resisting frame subjected to monotonic loading. Improper design of steel beam to column connection can lead to the collapse and fatality of structures. Therefore comprehensive research studies of beam to column connection design should be carried out. Also the performance and effect of corrugated...

Many phenomena in continuous casting including the formation of surface defects are greatly affected by heat transfer in the mold. The interfacial slag layers between the solidifying steel shell and the mold wall dominates the resistance to heat removal and thus controls mold heat transfer. Surface defects, such as longitudinal cracks and star cracks have been associated with variation of slag ...

The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) has high strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity can be used as the lateral force-resisting system of multi-story high-rise buildings. vertical load transmitted by upper floor frame columns may inevitably act on wall. However, influence gravity performance is not considered in most studies. To investigate behavior walls considering actu...

The construction of grouting butt joints bamboo tubes is simple and efficient. However, when the joint bent, low tensile strength mortar easily leads to cracking prior failure tube. In this paper, a comparative test bending capacity was performed on reinforced by nonperforated, fully perforated, semiperforated steel plates embedded in obtain load-displacement curves ultimate bearing various spe...
