Exploring the Efficiency of Dampers for Repair and Strengthening of Existing Buildings

In this paper, seismic behavior of the existing buildings equipped by friction dampers is studied. Seismic performance of6-story, 9-story and 12-story steel buildings with damper and without damper were studied. The finite element modeling technique (SAP2000 Software) is used for analysis. Time History analyzing was done to achieve this purpose. For nonlinear dynamic analysis, the responses of ...

Perceived Indoor Environment and Occupants’ Comfort in European “Modern” Office Buildings: The OFFICAIR Study

Indoor environmental conditions (thermal, noise, light, and indoor air quality) may affect workers' comfort, and consequently their health and well-being, as well as their productivity. This study aimed to assess the relations between perceived indoor environment and occupants' comfort, and to examine the modifying effects of both personal and building characteristics. Within the framework of t...

metrics for the detection of changed buildings in 3d old vector maps using als data (case study: isfahan city)

هدف از این تحقیق، ارزیابی و بهبود متریک های موجود جهت تایید صحت نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی برداری با استفاده از ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکن جدید شهر اصفهان می باشد . بنابراین ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکنر با چگالی حدودا سه نقطه در هر متر مربع جهت شناسایی عوارض تغییر کرده در نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی استفاده شده است. تمرکز ما در این تحقیق بر روی ساختمان به عنوان یکی از اصلی ترین عارضه های شهری می باشد. من...
