Most seismic codes specify empirical fonnulas to estimate the fundamental vibration period of buildings. Evaluated first in this paper are the fonnulas specified in present U.S. codes using the available data on the fundamental period of buildings "measured" from their motions recorded during eight California e~­ quakes, starting with the 1971 San Fernando earthquake and ending w.ith the 1994 N...

GFRG(Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) wall is a green product which can erect a building fast in prefabricated method, but its application to high-rise residential buildings is limited for its poor lateral stiffness. This paper has proposed a modification to GFRG walls structure to increase its lateral stiffness, which aiming to erect small high-rise residential buildings as load-bearing walls. T...

Rectangular, L-shaped, and T-shaped section concrete shear walls in high-rise buildings are more frequently used engineering widely studied. However, there few studies related to the load-bearing performance of with U-shaped sections. In this article, seismic damage mechanisms analyzed a systematic manner. addition, finite element model was developed using ABAQUS software, numerical simulation ...

Combined with an instance of a high-rise residential project in Sino-French Wuhan Ecological Demonstration city, the structural characteristics, construction key technology and disassembly process auxiliary external rack prefabricated structure are emphatically analyzed. It is safe reliable to use hanging scaffold building, which can effectively shorten period has beautiful appearance. also obt...

Background: The interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries.Objective: To understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from CT...
