Built Environment: Does Poor Housing Raise Diabetes Risk?

Poor housing may increase the risk of developing diabetes mellitus among middle-aged black Americans, suggests research published in the 15 August 2007 edition of the American Journal of Epidemiology. What exactly causes this link, however, remains to be explained. " Many factors linked with the development of diabetes, such as obesity or the use of alcohol or smoking, are commonly present in t...

Evaluating the Performance of the Buckling Restrained Braces in Tall Buildings with peripherally braced frames

In recent years, seismic design of structures has been undergoing significant changes due to increasing demand for optimization and minimizing the level of damage and reducing the cost of structural repairs. Development of analytical methods and remarkable improvements of computer performance have been among the factors which influenced the design of structures. A lot of research has been condu...

Using Recyclable Steel Material in Tall Buildings

Recycling steel building components is key to the sustainability of a structure’s end-of-life, as it is the most economical solution. In this paper the effects of usage of recycled steel material in tall buildings aspects are investigated. Keywords—Building, recycled material, steel, structure.

Aerodynamic Admittance Function of Tall Buildings

The aerodynamic admittance function (AAF) has been widely invoked to relate wind pressures on building surfaces to the oncoming wind velocity. In current practice, strip and quasi-steady theories are generally employed in formulating wind effects in the along-wind direction. These theories permit the representation of the wind pressures on building surfaces in terms of the oncoming wind velocit...
