PRAXIS: A Program for Reproducing Proforma Design Calculations

PRAXIS embodies a computer language for reproducing design calculations in a paginated and tidy layout suitable for submission to a checking authority. Some calculations reproduced by PRAXIS are illustrated in Fig. 1. From the calculations alone it would be impossible to tell whether the page came from a typewriter (being copied from a designer's hand-written calculations) or from a computer, b...

Praxis: a Paradigm for Action Research

Action research is a research methodology with a dual purpose (action and research). Action research as other research approach is led through a paradigm or a philosophical perspective. This article briefly describes paradigm, research paradigm and discuss about “which paradigm (positivism, interpretive, or praxis) does cover action research?”.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
