Proposing the simplified model for choosing the method of retrofitting in existing structures against fire risk
Background and objective: According to the necessities in the part 3 of National Building Regulations, design and construction of buildings should be in a way that the structures, according to the type of use, the size and the number of floors, resist long enough to fire, and prevent from destruction of buildings or from spread of fire to adjacent spaces or buildings. For this purpose, it is ne...
متن کاملRetrofitting a Data Model to Existing Environmental Data
Environmental data repositories are frequently stored as a collection of packed binary files arranged in an intricate directory structure, rather than in a database. In previous work, we 1) show that environmental data is often logically equipped with a topological grid structure and 2) provide a data model and algebra of gridfields for manipulating such gridded datasets. In this paper, we show...
متن کاملRetrofitting LID Practices into Existing Neighborhoods: Is It Worth It?
Low-impact development (LID) practices are gaining popularity as an approach to manage stormwater close to the source. LID practices reduce infrastructure requirements and help maintain hydrologic processes similar to predevelopment conditions. Studies have shown LID practices to be effective in reducing runoff and improving water quality. However, little has been done to aid decision makers in...
متن کاملAssessment of existing offshore structures for life extension
In decision making under uncertainty there are two main questions that need to be evaluated:i) What are the future consequences and associated uncertainties of an action, and ii) what isa good (or right) decision or action. Philosophically these issues are categorised as epistemicquestions (i.e. questions of knowledge) and ethical questions (i.e. questions of moral andnorms)...
متن کاملFrp for Retrofitting and Strengthening of Concrete Structures
The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for retrofitting and strengthening concrete structures provides an attractive and economical solution to increasing their strength and ductility. This paper reviews some of the Canadian projects which have been completed using this material. The selected projects are sponsored by the Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence on Intelligent Sensing for I...
