In building seismic design codes, two main goals are aimed for.
At the end of the study, a list of the main gaps existing in current design codes and recommendations to fill out these gaps is provided.
The main design principle in these two codes is that a pipeline is assessed as a pressure vessel by limiting the hoop stress to a specific fraction of the yield stress.
There are two main design schemes for PDP protocols: Message authentication code (MAC) based scheme: data owner pre-processes data, generating a tag T i for each block B i of data using a hash function H.
The recovery of important bridges after a strong earthquake has been the main objective in the recent provisions of seismic design codes.
We present the main design concepts of the object-oriented particle dynamics code SYMPLER.
The study of semi-rigid joints is one of the main new subjects that have been included in the design codes.
Galletly and Blachut's expressions, design guidelines of Japan for LMFBR main vessel expressions (empirical formulae), ASME and aerospace structural design codes are used for comparing with experimental loads.
Generally, usual structural design codes, such as AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are being used as the main standard for design of tunnel support system.
The staggered wall systems, however, have not been considered as one of the basic seismic-force-resisting systems in most design codes due mainly to the vertical discontinuity of the main structural elements.
