Original scientific paper The results of numerical experiments on dynamic response of a steel column, with a concentrated mass on the top are presented. The column is fixed in the base subjected to a triangular pulse force. Preisach hysteresis model was applied to investigate the dynamic behaviour of the steel column. In the solution of the non-linear dynamic equation of the motion the fix-poin...

An automated tension infiltrometer including a soil contacting base to which is mounted a porous plate for interfacing the infiltrometer with the soil to be analyzed. A Marriotte column is positioned in the base so that its open bottom end abuts the porous plate. A bubble tower is also positioned in the base and has a bubbling tube operatively connected between its interior and interior of the ...

Embedded Column Base (ECB) connections in seismically resistant steel moment frames are commonly designed to be stronger than the connected column, protect them from inelastic actions. This relies on estimation of demands induced by column and strength capacity themselves. However, recent research indicates that prevalent approaches may unconservative for both demand estimation, with consequenc...

Although it is commonly believed that a column packing used for chromatofocusing must have an "even" buffering capacity in order to produce a linear pH gradient, it is demonstrated here that linear pH gradients suitable for chromatofocusing can be produced on a column packing having a minimal buffering capacity. In particular, if either a strong-acid cation-exchange column packing or a strong-b...
