Joints are the most critical elements in a steel framed structure. In most design guides or codes, the joints are assumed to a have higher fire resistance than the connected structural members because of the lower temperatures in the joints. However, in severe fire conditions, a…

Transient response of varying thickness beam is studied here numerically. Beam theory applied here includes effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. The temporal and spatially dependant equations of motion are transferred to frequency domain by employing Fast Fourier Tra…

This thesis introduces a new approach for the control of air pollutant emissions. This technique uses electron beam radiation and ammonia (NH 3) injection to simultaneously oxidize organic pollutants and reduce nitrogen oxide (NO). The objective of this research is to develop a …
