in this paper a control system has been designed to improve traffic conditions in car following maneuver. there are different methods to design a control system. in this paper design approach is based on the fuzzy sliding mode control (fsmc) system. the aim of designing fsmc system is to achieve safe and desire longitudinal distance and less lateral displacement. in order to control and obtain ...

In recent decades, steel frames infilled with precast load-bearing walls have been successfully employed as lateral load-resisting structural systems in high-rise buildings. This is due to their efficiency outer and major inner facades the higher construction speed of building. paper presents a detailed experimental investigation sustainable, prefabricated, composite wall system, using represen...

Recent Italian earthquakes have shown the high seismic vulnerability of pallet racking systems. In down-aisle direction and in absence bracing systems, these structures are very flexible moment-resisting frames. Instead, cross-aisle they consist slender trusses, stiffened by various systems; latter, although necessary for lateral stability, attract significant accelerations, which can cause sto...

Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) have been used as the primary lateral force resisting system in buildings. Extensive analytical studies on steel plate shear walls in the United States, Canada, Taiwan and other countries have already validated the simple analytical model known as strip model to predict the monotonic behavior of this kind of structural system. However, more research is still neede...

A number of tools and advancements have been developed over the course of the last decade for public use in regional seismic disaster planning. This paper addresses some of the considerations and approaches that influence state-of-theart regional seismic loss assessments and risk management, with particular emphasis on approaches applied to areas having potentially high consequence but low prob...

Defining phenotypes according to molecular features would promote the knowledge of functional traits like behaviour in both human and animal research. Beside physiological states or environmental factors, an innate predisposition of individual coping strategies was discussed, including the proactive and reactive pattern. According to backtest reactivity, animals assigned as high-resisting (proa...

The steel frame reinforced with steel shear wall is a lateral load resisting system and has higher strength and shear performance than the concrete shear wall system. Especially, using corrugated steel plates in these shear wall systems improves out-of-plane stiffness and flexibility in the deformation along the corrugation. In this paper, a cyclic loading test of this steel frame reinforced wi...
