concrete filled steel tube columns (cfst) are a kind of composite columns according to advantages of cfst relative to reinforced concrete and steel columns. use of these materials is common in recent years especially in high building, unnecessary of molding, high ductility, proportionate resistance with low volume, economical, low deformation relative to steel columns are among advantages. in t...

Future energy supply requires an intelligent load management for efficient distribution of the available energy, at national level, as well as on a regional scale. For this purpose, one necessary prerequisite is the immediate detection of the currently connected appliances (loads), for example white or brown goods. If the devices that are currently active at the time of a data point are known, ...

This article presents methods for estimating lateral vehicle velocity and tire cornering stiffness, which are key parameters in vehicle dynamics control, using lateral tire force measurements. Lateral tire forces acting on each tire are directly measured by load-sensing hub bearings that were invented and further developed by NSK Ltd. For estimating the lateral vehicle velocity, tire force mode...

Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) structures have been widely employed in multistory residential buildings. The traditional welding process may lead to serious deformation due the thinness of plate. In this study, a new is proposed ensure that stiffeners and SPSWs bend as whole, number welds reduced from 3 2. This has better integrity than owing less residual stress deformation. On basis low-cycle...

In this paper, a method based on binary-coded genetic algorithm is proposed to explore an optimization method, for obtaining an optimal elliptical tank. This optimization method enhances the rollover threshold of a tank vehicle, especially under partial filling conditions. Minimizing the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, lateral acceleration and ca...

The present study offers a deductive design procedure based on designs that have been optimally screened in accordance with ASCE 41-17's nonlinear static (NSP). subsequent phase inferred linear methodology from the philosophy underlying NSP of 41-17. deduced is applied to provide set optimal 6-story SMRF under two load patterns: code-based and first-mode shape patterns. by proposed are compared...
