Crowd-sourced seismic networks in buildings collect important scientific data, in addition to allowing a diverse audience to visualize the vibrations of buildings. Visualization of a building’s deformation requires spatiotemporal interpolation of motions from seismometers that are located wherever the crowd places them. In many cases, a crowd-sourced building network may actually be just a sing...

In the present paper, the focus is on the evaluation of steel dual-system frame buildings using four main types of structural analysis (Linear Static, Linear Dynamic, Nonlinear Static and Nonlinear Dynamic Analyses) with regard to "Seismic Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings in Iran" (based on FEMA 273 and 356) where the first two authors of the article tend to follow the previous work (...

We report on a microsimulation model under development whose purpose it is to construct scenarios for the assessment of a novel wastewater management technology: the separate collection, transport, and handling of human urine. Levelling the urine flow to the treatment plant or removing it from conventional treatment altogether has many benefits for wastewater management. For an effective techno...

Sustainability has been an absolute condition since the recent decades. To achieve sustainable building, one often struggle to reuse natural resources, minimize artificial energy, optimize natural energy, or else likewise. These efforts are in order to increase the building lifespan, as therefore construction waste can be eliminated. This paper is a part of PhD research work entitled:”Functiona...

Introduction The reinforced concrete tilt-up building is the most popular form of light industrial and low-rise commercial construction in the Western United States and is a significant portion of new construction nationwide. This popularity is primarily driven by the construction speed and economical nature of tilt-up construction. Architectural acceptance has become more widespread as tilt-up...

Sprinkler skipping is an important issue in fire spread. In general, two sprinklers are installed air conditioner rooms at the ceiling and 30 cm below to avoid spray failure by energy recovery ventilator ceiling. However, there a problem that sprinkler occurs room. this study, phenomenon was analyzed through numerical analysis applicability of open type operation method reviewed. As result, whe...

the interactive effects of adjacent buildings on their seismic performance are not frequently considered in seismic design. the adjacent buildings, however, are interrelated through the soil during seismic ground motions. the seismic energy is redistributed in the neighboring buildings through multiple structure-soil-structure interactions (sssi). for example, in an area congested with many nea...

in this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. the stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. the considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

The paper is devoted to theoretical and practical problems of determining the legal status apartments according current Russian legislation. relevance study bound introduction draft legislation on regulation relations, construction use in multiuse buildings at end April 2021 by State Duma Federation. provides a comprehensive analysis views literature regarding structure apartments. A comparativ...
