Dynamic Forces Induced by a Single Pedestrian: A Literature Review
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Article)With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers ... -
Laboratory testing of full-scale pipes partially embedded in soil to study soil-pipe interaction of offshore seabed oil and gas pipelines - Initial observations
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2014 , Conference)The geotechnical aspect of the design of off-shore oil and gas pipelines is a challenge due to inherent uncertainties in predicting soil-pipe interaction behaviour. Physical modeling is often sought after to gain insight ... -
Sagittal plane waves in infinitely periodic multilayered composites composed of alternating viscoelastic and elastic solids
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2018 , Article)In order to design phononic crystals whose band-gaps are located in low-frequency ranges, researchers commonly adopt low stiffness polymeric materials as key constituents and exploit the high impedance mismatch between ... -
Some observations on soil-pipe interface shear strength in direct shear under low effective normal stresses and large displacements
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2016 , Conference)Experimental work is undertaken at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to study the soil-pipe interface shear strength at levels of shear displacements and effective normal stresses typically encountered in offshore ...
