Analysis of RC buildings under seismic zones in Bangladesh concerning shear wall, aspect ratio and breadth to length ratio

Effect of seismic sequences on fragility of Iranian code-conforming shear wall RC buildings

Background and objective: Estimating the vulnerability rate of urban textures in seismic incident following a major earthquake (aftershocks) is crucial in decision making and crisis management. For this purpose, it is necessary to calculate the vulnerability of buildings due to the successive incidents and to use them in the vulnerability estimation for probable future aftershocks. Seismic frag...

Analysis of optimum window-to-wall ratio in Horizontal expanded and vertical expanded windows, Tehran, Iran

Good daylighting design in buildings not only provides a comfortable luminous environment, but also delivers energy savings and comfortable and healthy environments for building occupants. The importance of using daylight in educational buildings is because of the synchrony of operating hours of the school and daylight plenitude the sky. Daylight improves environmental quality and saves energy ...

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of RC Buildings in Western China

Nonaxisymmetric high-aspect-ratio ellipsoids under shear: lowest-order correction for finite aspect ratios.

We extend the classic study of the motion of small ellipsoidal particles under shear, focusing on simplifications obtained by considerations of the extreme aspect ratios typical of rheoscopic particles (e.g., Kalliroscope). Specifically, we study conditions under which the long-time behavior of scalene (i.e., triaxial or nonaxisymmetric) ellipsoids are well approximated by a model that is low o...

INFLUENCE OF FIBER ASPECT RATIO ON SHEAR CAPACITY OF DEEP BEAMS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK TECHNIQUE

This paper deals with the effect of fiber aspect ratio of steel fibers on shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete deep beams loaded with shear span to depth ratio less than two using the artificial neural network technique. The network model predicts reasonably good results when compared with the equation proposed by previous researchers. The parametric study invol...
