Availability of parking within a short period of time is a critical problem. Drivers are wasting a lot of time circling around on campus multiple times to try to find a vacant spot to park especially during the peak hours. In turn, this problem is causing another one – that of wasting a lot of fuel and thus polluting the surroundings. A literature review that investigates thoroughly existing pa...

We present the language S Graph n the core of a multi level metaprogramming environment for exploring foundational issues of self applicable online program specialization We illustrate how special purpose S Graph n primitives can be used to obtain an e cient and conceptually simple encoding of programs as data objects The key feature of the encoding scheme is the use of nu merical indices which...

This paper is an experimental study on the behavior of vertical shear link in the single and double configurations. There have been three specimens selected for examining the effects of different details .The first specimen was an I section with no stiffener, while the second specimen composed of I section with stiffeners designed according to AISC 2005. Third specimens were composed of two I s...

The article provides information about the futuristic architecture of modern multi-storey parking lots, which harmoniously fits into surrounding space. historical history development and its transformation is given. It proved that use simplest most affordable materials in construction, as well bold non-standard actions design, including laying all engineering systems building openly with output...

Braces with intentional eccentricity (BIE) are recently proposed to improve the seismic behaviour of conventional buckling braces (CBBs) by inserting along brace length. Due this and resultant bending moment, BIE bends uniformly from small storey drifts moves smoothly into postbuckling under compression sustains trilinear tension. This delays appearance midlength local which causes unstable ene...

Abstract This article presents a numerical study on the influence of anchorage shear hysteresis seismic response nonstructural components (NSC) connected to multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, and itself. To cover variety different types shapes, this contribution considered experimental results obtained for five post-installed anchors. The were used calibrating model connecting an ...

This paper presents a rapid seismic assessment and Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) retrofit design methodology which relies on the European guidelines recently published in Chapter 8 of fib Bulletin 90 use externally applied FRP reinforcement retrofitting reinforced concrete (r.c.) structures. For this purpose, an example-guide is developed with step-by-step hand calculations aiming to facilitat...
