The five-year research program considered the seismic design of corrugated metal decks, with and without concrete topping, as a diaphragm system that is an integral part of the steel structure. Photo ...

This study investigated the seismic response of Rigid Wall-Flexible Roof Diaphragm (RWFD) buildings under extreme ground shaking was studied. RWFD buildings are a type of low-rise industrial ...

Keywords: Unreinforced masonry, flexible diaphragms, out-of-plane loading, earthquake simulator tests, seismic assessment, performance based assessment. Abstract: The main goal of this study was to ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

Earthquakes and other stressors on buildings pose a threat to their structural integrity that endangers human life. It is effective to be able to calculate the behavior of buildings and test with ...

The uptake of pumps utilizing diaphragms has increased considerably in recent years as growing numbers of industries recognize the range of benefits that diaphragms offer to the process engineering ...

The use of pumps with diaphragms has grown substantially in recent years, as industries increasingly recognize the contribution that pumps make to process engineering. This article explores the use of ...
