Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Flutter Derivatives of Bridge Decks in Wind Tunnel Test by Stochastic Subspace IdentificationT. Janesupasaeree, V. BoonyapinyoProblem statement: Flutter derivatives are the essential parameters in the estimations of the flutter critical wind velocity and the responses of long-span cable supported bridges. These derivatives can be experimentally estimated from wind tunnel test results. Generally, wind tunnel test methods can be divided into free decay test and buffeting test. Compared with the free decay method, the buffeting test … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,133 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Economic Feasibility of Rebuilding Al-Isra University Tunnel — Mechanical FactorsBassam Al-HelouEconomic feasibility is the cornerstone in the decision making on an economic venture. The more positive the economic signs, the less the risk and foreseen losses. This study throws light on some economic advantages of rebuilding Al-Isra tunnel, especially in terms of shortening the car/bus trip by six kilometers go and fro, and in terms of reducing the trip schedule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,154 accessesView PDF Cite
