The dynamic response of complex equipment under mixed-mode loading is significant for structural design. Bolted joints are the primary connection mode subsystem assembly, and degradation bolted may reduce safety reliability equipment. Iwan model widely used to describe joints, which has been continuously revised experimentally verified. classic a static that lacks predictive ability. latest can...

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect represents a threat to the well-being of cities. Cities must adapt this phenomenon, prioritizing improvement outdoor environment quality. materials have great impact on quality, energy demand, and citizens’ well-being. Based literature, it can be stated that changing albedo on-site (pavements, facades) is relevant strategy. environmental reflective from buildi...

The dynamic thermal conditions profoundly impact on the quality of physical, cultural, and social experiences in courtyard spaces. This research aims to identify microclimatic dissimilarities between courtyards terms tempering seasonal–diurnal extremes enriching ground-level textures. methodology included field measurements summer-2021 winter-2022 Cambridge, UK; simulations 107 ENVI-met model v...

Downtown Budapest residential properties from the turn of 19th and 20th centuries, organized around inner courtyards, where historicism free style are mixed with premodernism, socialist modernism contemporary buildings. The older buildings typically neglected, in need renovation, especially more palatial examples. damaged roof on this building has been restored to its former splendour using con...

It is evident from model testing, field studies and theoretical considerations that the strength of a soft clay can reduce then recover – potentially to above initial value as result cyclic loading followed by consolidation. For piled foundations well conductors, these changes in soil resulting lateral resistance affect their stiffness, capacity fatigue. This paper introduces new for ‘ p - y ’ ...
