Reliability Indexes in Earthquake Resistant Design of Multi-storey Frame Buildings
A reliability function β(Q) is defined as the ratio of the expected value of the natural logarithm of the safety margin of the structural system divided by its standard deviation. The safety margin is the minimum value of the ratio of the story deformation capacity to the corresponding responseassociated demand, and Q is the peak ductility demand of a simplified reference system subjected to th...
متن کاملDisplacement-Based Seismic Design of Symmetric Single-Storey Wood-Frame Buildings with the Aid of N2 Method
This paper presents a new methodology for the displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings. Previous displacement-based design efforts were based on the direct displacement-based design approach, which uses a substitute linear system with an appropriate stiffness and viscous damping combination. Despite the fact that this method has shown to produce promisin...
متن کاملAtrium-assisted Natural Ventilation of Multi-storey Buildings
Buoyancy-driven displacement natural ventilation in a simple multi-storey building structure is investigated. The storeys are connected to a common atrium and top-down-chimneys, and the internal heat gains of the storeys are represented by localised point heat sources on each floor. The heat sources generate thermal plumes which entrain the surrounding air and transport warm air upwards. Simple...
متن کاملOn-site greywater treatment and reuse in multi-storey buildings.
The paper presents a study of a pilot plant treating light greywater for seven flats. The pilot plant combines biological treatment (RBC) with physicochemical treatment (sand filtration and disinfection). The pilot plant produced effluent of excellent quality, meeting the urban reuse quality regulations, and was very efficient in TSS turbidity and BOD removal: 82%, 98% and 96%, respectively. CO...
متن کاملStructural Quality Assurance of Wood Light - Frame Construction Subject to Extreme Wind Hazards
The poor performance of wood light-frame construction (WLFC) during recent hurricanes disputed the efficacy of the wood light-frame building process in high wind environments. Deficiencies observed in the wake of Hurricane Andrew (1992) in particular suggest that solutions to the problem must consider human-based factors within the building process. The objective of this thesis is to develop an...
