Lateral force-displacement (P-y)-based Winkler spring models are commonly applied for the design of piles, P being the soil lateral reaction and y the lateral displacement. Despite their relative simplicity, P-y models can capture important aspects of pile behaviour including non ...
To date, monopiles are the most popular foundations used in the offshore wind sector, accounting for over 75% of existing turbine foundations. The cyclic lateral loading response of these foundations is one of the most important issues to be considered during the life-cycle desig ...
The CMS Hadron Calorimeter in the barrel, endcap and forward regions is fully commissioned. Cosmic ray data were taken with and without magnetic field at the surface hall and after installation in the experimental hall, hundred meters underground. Various measurements were also p ...
Commissioning studies of the CMS hadron calorimeter have identified sporadic uncharacteristic noise and a small number of malfunctioning calorimeter channels. Algorithms have been developed to identify and address these problems in the data. The methods have been tested on cosmic ...
