Schoolwide interventions are among the most effective approaches for improving students’ behavioral and academic outcomes. However, researchers have documented consistent challenges with implementation fidelity and have argued that school social workers should be engaged in efforts to improve treatment integrity. This study examines contextual influences on the implementation of a whole-school ...

Infilled frame structures are commonly used in buildings. Masonry infilled RC frames are the most common type of structures used for multi-storeyed constructions in the developing countries, even in those which are located in seismically active regions also. Masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. In the presen...

The present article starts out by proposing a framework for risk assessment of RC structures utilizing condition indicators. Thereafter, the various building stones of the suggested framework are described. This description includes a summary of the basis for the probabilistic modeling of the initiation phases of chlorideinduced corrosion of concrete structures. Furthermore, a probabilistic mod...

The RC-framed building is one of the most common construction technique for seismic-resistant structures due to its ductile nature. However, seismic performance RC can be significantly influenced by different factors, irregularities being important aspect. Irregularities on buildings increase lateral forces and inter-storey drifts thus increasing demands in structural elements. Due architectura...

In the modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, rigid diaphragm hypothesis to represent in-plane behavior floors was and still is very commonly adopted because its simplicity computational cheapness. However, since excessive floor deformability can cause a different redistribution lateral forces on vertical resisting elements, it may be necessary consider deformability. This paper inves...

In this paper, optimum design of three-dimensional (3D) multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) structures is obtained using an improved version the plasma generation optimization (IPGO) algorithm. The reinforcing bars and geometry cross-sections are considered as discrete variables that chosen from a prearranged section database. objective function cost framework, steel concrete. moment shear fra...

The seismic evaluation of existing buildings is a more troublesome assignment than the design new buildings. need for becomes necessary to know level structural damage and how cure it due earthquakes. shows structure’s behavior under loads determines ultimate capacity structure, there are several methods used in assessment analysis which may be static or dynamic. In this study, an educational b...
