This study investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) performance of a wide Π-shaped main girder bridge in coastal areas. The impact of the distance between the girder bottom and the ground ...
Ground motion models (GMMs) are an essential component of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), providing quantitative tools for estimating ground motion intensities (e.g., peak ground ...
The ground-effect (GE) refers to the almost mystical property where the interaction of the airflow around an aircraft’s wing and the ground massively increases efficiency due to the reduction of ...
Things can get ugly and inefficient when a ground effect vehicle accidentally skims the water, adding significant drag that can drastically slow it down, wrench it sideways or just cost energy. One ...
