Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,744 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,677 accessesView PDF Cite
