Quantification of rail seat load distributions on concrete crossties
… the factors affecting the magnitude and distribution of load imparted to concrete crosstie rail seats. The rail seat load distribution is critical to the analysis of failure mechanisms associated with rail seat deterioration (RSD), the degradation of the concrete surface at the crosstie …

Stiffener Design for Beam-to-Column Connections
Stiffeners are used as a means of providing additional support to columns at beam connection locations. They are added when the strength of the column is exceeded but full moment strength of the beam section is desired. In determining the design of column stiffeners, there are no specifications for …

Prediction of deflection of helical anchors under load
<p>”As the sophistication of modern structural design methods has improved over time, the ability to accurately predict and model foundation stiffness has become increasingly more important. In complicated structural systems with deep foundations, correct calculation of the distribution of load and …

Operation under Uncertainty in Electric Grid: A Multiparametric Programming Approach
… operations. In recent years, with the emergence of the smart grid, uncertainty level has been further elevated in both the generation and demand side of power systems. Increasing uncertainty exposes the electric grid to potential safety issues and economic loss, thus posing significant challenges …

Evaluation of Existing and New Test Configuration for Headed Shear Studs
… action, shear connectors, typically in the form of headed shear studs, are utilized. Traditionally, the strength assessment of these headed shear studs is made using empirical design specifications that are based on push-out tests, which have been widely conducted and standardized over the years. …

Influence of geometry on creep and moisture movement of clay, calcium silicate and concrete masonry
… consecutively. Four different geometries of masonry were built, namely: single-leaf wall, cavity wall, hollow pier and solid pier, respectively having volume/surface area (V/S) ratios of 44,51,78 and 112 mm. Deformations were also measured on one-brick wide 5 or 6-stack high model …

Meta-Balancer: automated load balancing based on application behavior
With the dawn of petascale, and with exascale in the near future, it has become significantly difficult to write parallel applications that fully exploit the processing power, and scale to large systems. Load imbalance, both computationally and communication induced, presents itself as one of the …

New Truck Loading Model For Rural Bridges In Saskatchewan
… there are approximately 1700 bridges, many of which were constructed in the 1950s to 1960s and are therefore nearing the end of their expected service life. Evaluations for those bridges are therefore needed to make cost-effective decisions on rehabilitation or replacement to maintain the …

Asymmetries within elite youth soccer players: an investigation into the impact of soccer-specific loading
… in youth soccer can influence the development of interlimb asymmetries and propose a holistic approach to reduce these asymmetries. The literature review provides a comprehensive review of the physical and technical demands of youth soccer and how they contribute to asymmetrical loading and …
