• On the Design of Damaged Steel Columns (No. R846) 

      Trahair, Nicholas S.; Kayvani, K.
      Published 2005
      This paper explores a number of situations where columns with out-of-tolerance crookedness or which have been damaged may still be designed, despite the implications of many codes that they must be replaced, and suggests ...

    • Wave Interaction with a Porous Structure over a Sandy Seabed (No. R862) 

      Tsai, Ching P.; Chen, H. B.; Jeng, Dong S.
      Published 2005
      In this study, a new analytic solution of the wave interaction with a porous structure over a sandy seabed is derived. A uniform water depth is assumed, and the layer of the rigid porous medium is placed over an infinite ...
