Effect of Leading-Edge Roughness on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Wind Turbine blade
Abstract: Leading-Edge Roughness (LER) strongly dictates boundary layer transition and performance degradation on an airfoil operating at transitional Reynolds numbers, an aerodynamic regime where shear-layer stability mechanisms remain highly complex. The wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic impacts of surface roughness applied over 25% of the chord of a NACA 0018 airfoil using two discrete roughness gradations. Surface roughness induces an early boundary layer trip, causing elevated section …

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF FLEXIBLE AND SEMI-RIGID BEAM-COLUMN JOINT CONNECTIONS BY FEM
Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …

Analysis of RC Frames Using Different Bracing Systems in Different Positions and Zones
Abstract: Structures are mainly built to enhance the performance of several activities like recreation, transportation, power generation, etc. They are built to sustain the loads coming on them during their service life by carrying adequate strength and also limit the deformation by possessing enough stiffness. Strength of a structure depends mainly upon the characteristics of material with which it is constructed. Stiffness is dependent upon the cross-sectional and geometrical properties of …

The Importance of Safety Engineering in the Design and Assessment of Foundations
Abstract: In safety engineering, ensuring the stability of structures under lateral loads is a critical aspect of foundation design. Lateral forces, such as wind, seismic activity, or other environmental pressures, exert overturning moments on columns, which must be carefully managed to prevent structural failure. To maintain stability, the overturning moment at the foundation base, generated by these lateral loads, must always be less than the restoring moment produced by the soil's …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …
