Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation of Shear Lag Factor in Long Structures with Pipeline System in Tubes under Wind LoadReza Salehi, Alireza KhalooThe type of lateral load capacity systems is one of the major challenges of structural engineers in implementing and designing high-rise structures. One type of common system is a pipe system in which the type of pipe in the classified pipe exhibits good behavior under wind and earthquake loading conditions. One of the issues that researchers have been studying over … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Toolkit Approach for Carbon Capture and Storage in Offshore Depleted Gas FieldRaj Deo Tewari, Tan Chee Phuat, Mohd Faizal SedaralitFossil fuels are considered a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source and their utilization has resulted in tremendous growth for humanity. However, it has its downside also. Experts are of the view that present energy systems are unsustainable due to their detrimental impacts on the environment. Oil and gas producers are charged that their infrastructure, utilization of materials and technologies … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 May 2023 · 6,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Architectural Irregularities on the Seismic Behavior of BuildingsSara Mostafa Karra, Iman Hajal, Youmn Al Rawi, Aya DiabCooperation between the architect and the civil engineer has nowadays become essential in any project for the client’s requests’ sake. This study was made to show this idea’s importance and beneficial consequences. For this purpose, a 40-story dual-system high-rise building has been designed to resist moderate seismic and high wind loads. Three main models were formed: Starting with the net … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 24 Apr 2021 · 6,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Behavior of Steel Composite Shear Wall with Corrugated Plate under Lateral LoadSeyedeh Asma MirfazliJirdehiThe steel shear wall system has been considered as a structural system over the past few decades. This issue deals with wind and earthquake lateral forces due to its hardness, loading capacity and plasticity. This type of the system, with the use of external hardness resulting from the geometric shape of the waves, has better buckling strength than a hardened … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2018 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Behavior of Vertical Shear Links made of Easy-Going SteelAmir Saedi Daryan, Hesam Bahrampoor, Masood Ziaei et al.Problem Statement: Since the time that steel was first used as a construction material, engineers have attempted to increase strength, reduce weight and produce more economical structures by using elegant member sections. However, the increase in steel strength and the decrease in cross section area are not always useful and in some cases it is necessary to reduce the strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
