Effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates
(2016)
Abstract : This paper presents the effect of geometric parameters on the behavior of bolted GFRP pultruded plates for civil engineering applications. After a literature review, results of an experimental analysis investigating ...
Effect of geometrical parameters of aluminum-to-steel bolted connections
(2015)
Abstract : Through experimental and numerical studies, this research work aims to provide directions on the optimal geometric configuration for single-lap and double-lap bolted connection between aluminum alloy 6061-T6 and ...
Substructuring strategy for pseudo-dynamic testing of steel lattice towers
Other titre : Growing with youth / Croître avec les jeunes
(2019)
Abstract: Lattice towers are the most commonly used structures in the field of overhead power transmission lines. In the design process of transmission lines, there are several methods for the evaluation of their capacity. ...
Implementation of a simplified method in design of hysteretic dampers for isolated highway bridges
(2017)
Abstract: Using seismic isolation systems for highway bridges modifies the structure’s principal vibration modes, effectively reducing the seismic base shear conveyed from the superstructure to the substructure. However, ...
Failure analysis of transmission line steel lattice towers subjected to extreme loading
Other titre : Building tomorrow’s society / Bâtir la société de demain
(2018)
Abstract: Lattice towers are extensively used in overhead transmission lines, owing primarily to their lightness and cost-effectiveness. The modeling of such structures is usually laborious due to various complex factors ...
Full-scale measurement of the response of a CPV tracker structure prototype under wind load
(2017)
The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...
Study on extraction parameters of flutter derivatives for the development of a time-domain formulation of self-excited forces
(2017)
Abstract: This paper addresses the evaluation of the dependence of bridge-deck flutter derivatives to the extraction parameters used in wind tunnel tests. The studied parameters are the model scale, model velocity and ...
Evaluation of phase-to-phase clearances of transmission line conductors under turbulent wind
(2017)
Abstract: "Wind loads govern the design of a large number of overhead transmission lines worldwide. The spatial and temporal variation of wind speed and the buffeting response of cables may induce swings not fully synchronized ...
Influence of damping and force hypotheses for evaluating ductility demand of structures subjected to time history wind loading
(2017)
Abstract: Current wind design procedures require that structural behavior remains elastic under wind loading corresponding to a specific return period unlike seismic codes that set some specifications to account for the ...
Time-domain analysis of solar concentrator structure under gust wind
(2017)
Abstract: Accurate evaluation of wind load effects on solar structures is important for optimizing their design. Gust wind and its dynamic effect may be significant for this type of structure, however while time-domain ...
