Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReliability-Based Earthquake Design of Jacket-Type Offshore Platforms Considering Pile-Soil-Structure InteractionBehrouz Asgarian, Hossein AgheshluiThere are plenty of uncertainties in environmental condition of ocean and also in platform element capacities. Reliability-based method could consider these uncertainties. A reliability-based earthquake design method was used to determine the earthquake LRFD parameters for two conventional, steel, pile-supported (template-type) offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. The pile-soil-structure interaction, the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the braces were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Joint Flexibility on Overall Behavior of Jacket Type Offshore PlatformsMasoud Mirtaheri, Hossein Ali Zakeri, Pejman Alanjari, Mohammad Amin AssarehProblem Statement: Nonlinear behavior of offshore structure is attracting tremendous amount of attention in recent years. Response of these structures is strictly dependent upon behavior of their joints. Because of the lack of information about this part of a structure, most of the recent analysis and designs do not contain appropriate material in the case of joints. In most cases, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Modeling of Pile-Leg Interaction in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Cyclic Inelastic BehaviorM.R. Honarvar, M.R. Bahaari, B. AsgarianOffshore platforms in seismically active areas should be designed to survive in the event of severe ground excitations with no global structural failure. The annulus between the pile and leg in jacket-type offshore platforms can be filled with cement grout as a means of reducing horizontal deflections, inhibiting corrosion and preventing local damages. This paper discusses an experimental approach which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNonlinear Behavior of Single Piles in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Using Incremental Dynamic AnalysisMohammad Amin Assareh, Behrouz AsgarianThe operation for offshore oil has become an important issue in the recent years. Offshore platforms are some of those structures which are built to withstand environmental and accidental loads during oil exploitation operation. One of the most usual types of these platforms is the Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) which can be divided into three important parts, which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRepairing and Strengthening of an Existing Reinforced Concrete Building: A North Cyprus PerspectiveHakan Yalciner, Amir A. HedayatProblem statement: Inadequate attention during design and construction of some of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in North Cyprus has raised questions about the performance level of these existing buildings under future earthquakes. Approach: Column jacketing, adding steel braces and new shear walls to an existing building are common strengthening methods used by practical engineers in North Cyprus to increase the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON HEAT TRANSPORT CAPABILITY OF A TWO PHASE THERMOSYPHON CHARGED WITH DIFFERENT WORKING FLUIDSM. Kannan, R. Senthil, R. Baskaran, B. DeepanrajIn the present investigation a two phase thermosyphon has been fabricated to investigate the effect of operating parameters on the heat transport capability. The system consists of evaporator section, adiabatic section and condenser section with thermocouples located on the wall of thermosyphon. Electric heater was fixed on the bottom of the evaporator section and water jacket for cooling the condenser … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 6,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Scale of Liquid Coal Fuel Combustion Process and Exhaust Gas FormationKartika Kus Hendratna, Osami Nishida, Hirotsugu Fujita, Wataru HaranoProblem statement: Much research of coal has been already undertaken to ascertain the possibilities of coal being used as substitute for heavy fuel oil in the transportation sector. The effects of using coal as transportation fuel to the environment must also be considered. This study will review several aspects of the coal oil combustion process including combustion behavior, flame stability, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,761 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with SFRP Using Finite Element MethodJalil Khani, Mohsen Bozorg, Seyed Mehdi ZahraiCurrently, various methods have been used for repairing and retrofitting reinforced concrete columns including Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) jackets in order to improve load bearing capacity. However, the enclosure mechanism is less known by consideration of the effects of slender columns which needs much more studies. Avoiding the buckling of a slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) column against the compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2018 · 8,669 accessesView PDFCite
