Abstract: This paper quantitatively evaluated the fatigue life of concrete around the air-water boundary layer of bridge piers located in inland rivers, considering the long-term climate. The paper suggests a method to predict the low-cycle fatigue life by demonstrating a thermal-fluid-structural analysis of bridge pier concrete according to long-term climate such as temperature, velocity and pressure of air and water in the process of freezing and...

Abstract: All environmental hazards impact safety for polar ships, especially polar merchant ship with light ice-class. In order to provide a systematic guidance to deal with any situation during polar operation, International Maritime Organization (IMO) raised mandatory requirements of “Polar Water Operation Manual”(PWOM) in Polar Code. This paper focuses on how to determinate operational evaluation and limitation for the PWOM, which is an important... More

Abstract: The iron ore minerals reservoir of Golgohar Mine#3 is more than 660 million tons. It is the biggest in Iran and rate of ore extraction is more than 15 million tons per year. The pit takes place on the way of runoff pathway of this watershed and it needs an especial strategy for conserving the pit mine during next imminent floods. The area of Mine# 3 watershed is 20785700 square meters and its general slope in its topography map is 0.59 percent;... More
