Investigation of Tuned Liquid Dampers under Large Amplitude Excitation

Dorothy A. Reed, +3 more
- 01 Apr 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of tuned liquid dampers (TLD) was investigated through laboratory experiments and numerical modeling, and the results suggest that the model captures the underlying physical phenomenon adequately, including wave breaking, for most of the frequency range of interest and over a wide range of amplitude excitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefits of Water Safety Plans: Microbiology, Compliance, and Public Health

Maria J. Gunnarsdottir, +4 more
- 27 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Iceland was one of the first countries to legislate the use of WSPs and analysis of more than a decade of data indicated that population where WSP has been implemented is 14% less likely to develop clinical cases of diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavior of sloped-bottom tuned liquid dampers

Sigurdur M. Gardarsson, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a tuned liquid damper with a sloped bottom of an angle of 30° with the horizontal is investigated experimentally, and the sloped-bottom TLD was found to be just as effective in dissipating energy as the familiar box-shaped TLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Icelandic experience with water safety plans.

Maria J. Gunnarsdottir, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: Investigation of accumulated experience with water safety plans in one of the first countries to adopt systematic preventive management for drinking-water safety in Iceland revealed many important elements of success were revealed of which intensive training of staff and participation of staff in the whole process are deemed the most important.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of groundwater sources and water-supply systems, and associated microbial pollution, in Finland, Norway and Iceland

Bjørn Kløve, +7 more
- 09 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The characteristics of groundwater systems and groundwater contamination in Finland, Norway and Iceland are presented, as they relate to outbreaks of disease as mentioned in this paper, and recommendations are given for the future, as well as differences among the Nordic countries in the approach to providing safe drinking water from groundwater.
