Digital game-based learning in a robotics course
(2020)This paper deals with two experiments regarding games developed in Scratch in the course of robotics at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná campus Cornélio Procópio (UTFPR-CP) to assist in the learning of an ... -
The Effect of Flexible Vegetation in Gravity Currents with Large Salinity in Composite Cross Section
(2022)In this study experiments in a laboratory tank to examine the effect of bed with vegetation on the motion of gravity currents between fresh and salt water with high salinity were performed. The shape of the tank was composite ... -
Gravity currents with large salinity in a gravel bed valley: an experimental study
(2022)In the current study experiments in a valley (a composite cross-sectional tank consisting of a rectangular upper cross section and a lower trapezoidal) were performed. The purpose of this research is to study the gravel ... -
The influence of different types of permeable bed (Flexible vegetation and inflexible rod bundle) in gravity currents
(2017)In this study, experiments were performed in a laboratory tank to investigate the effect of a permeable bed (flexible or inflexible) on the movement of gravity currents. The vegetation in the bed of the laboratory tank was ... -
On the seismic behaviour and design of liquid storage tanks
(2011)The paper examines some special issues on the structural behaviour of upright-cylindrical liquid storage tanks, which are widely used in industrial facilities and for water storage. Two main design standards are considered: ... -
Performance criteria for liquid storage tanks and piping systems subjected to seismic loading
(2015)In this paper, performance criteria for the seismic design of industrial liquid storage tanks and piping systems are proposed, aimed at defining a performance-based design framework towards reliable development of fragility ... -
Performance Criteria for Liquid Storage Tanks and Piping Systems Subjected to Seismic Loading
(2017)In this paper, performance criteria for the seismic design of industrial liquid storage tanks and piping systems are proposed, aimed at introducing those industrial components into a performance-based design (PBD) framework. ... -
Reliability-based optimal design of fluid filled tanks under seismic excitation
(2003)This work integrates developments in simplified dynamic modeling of unanchored fluid-filled tanks, stochastic modeling of earthquake loading time histories, probabilistic structural analysis tools, cost analyses, and ... -
Seismic response of unanchored liquid storage tanks
(2012)Unanchored liquid storage tanks under strong earthquake loading tend to uplift. In the present study, the effects of base uplifting on the seismic response of unanchored tanks are presented with emphasis on elephant's foot ... -
A simple and efficient model for seismic response and low-cycle fatigue assessment of uplifting liquid storage tanks
(2018)Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which may have significant effects on their dynamic behavior and structural ... -
Simplified model for the seismic performance of unanchored liquid storage tanks
(2015)Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which has significant effects on their dynamic behavior and strength. Those ... -
Sloshing effects on the seismic design of horizontal-cylindrical and spherical vessels
(2004)The paper concerns earthquake-induced sloshing analysis in horizontal-cylindrical and spherical industrial vessels. More specifically, the paper focuses on the calculation of the total force in such vessels, due to horizontal ... -
Thermal buckling behaviour of unstiffened and stiffened fixed-roof tanks under non-uniform heating
(2018)The problem addressed in this paper is the thermal buckling behaviour of thin-walled steel cylindrical fixed-roof tanks under non-uniform loading, induced by an adjacent tank. This specific type of thermal loading can be ... -
Uplift mechanics of unanchored liquid storage tanks subjected to lateral earthquake loading
(2021)Motivated by the seismic response of unanchored liquid storage tanks, their uplift mechanism under strong lateral loading is examined. Using three-dimensional finite element models, nonlinear static analysis is conducted ...
