Seismic Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Coupled with O-Grid Bracing Systems
Abstract: The greatest challenge for structural engineers is to design the structures to be earthquake resistant. Basically, the earthquake-resistant design of reinforced concrete structures is a force-based design. When a structure is designed for seismic resistance, various systems are embedded into the structure so as to resist the lateral forces. One of the systems, which are used for resisting lateral forces, is to provide the structures with different types of bracings. …

Investigation of Tangential Shear Stress and Frictional Torque Coefficient over a Rotating Disk of the Rotor-Stator System
Abstract: Abstract The study investigates the prediction of tangential shear stress and the frictional torque coefficient over a rotating disk in a rotor-stator system under laminar inward flow conditions. The interaction between the rotating and stationary disks is governed by key parameters, such as volumetric flow rate, rotational speed of the disk, and the axial clearance between the two surfaces. These parameters are expressed in terms of dimensionless quantities, including the …
