algebraic frames are generalizations of fourier transforms on locally compact abelian groups in the sense that the family of vectors forming the frame are replaced by a family of unbounded linear functionals. the paper studies the indexing measure space of the algebraic frames; as the investigation narrows down to the class of lower semiframes, more relations are revealed between the discret...

in this paper, efforts are made to compare the safety of steel moment resistant frames designed according to different editions of the iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings. also, failure risk of a low and medium height frame which designed for high and low seismicity regions according to three editions of the code are evaluated. first, the testing cases were design...

In rigid plastic analysis one of the most widely applicable methods that is based on the minimum principle, is the combination of elementary mechanisms which uses the upper bound theorem. In this method a mechanism is searched which corresponds to the smallest load factor. Mathematical programming can be used to optimize this search process for simple fra...

in this paper we get some results and applications for duals and approximate duals of g-frames in hilbert spaces. in particular, we consider the stability of duals and approximate duals under bounded operators and we study duals and approximate duals of g-frames in the direct sum of hilbert spaces. we also obtain some results for perturbations of approximate duals.

in this paper a discrete big bang-big crunch algorithm is applied to optimal design of reinforced concrete planar frames under the gravity and lateral loads. optimization is based on aci 318-08 code. columns are assumed to resist axial loads and bending moments, while beams resist only bending moments. second-order effects are also considered for the compression members, and columns are checked...

The objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for RC frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed N2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. A preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

zipper braced frames are an innovative bracing system for steel structures. conventional inverted-v-braced frames exhibit a design problem arising from the unbalanced vertical force generated by the lower story braces when one of them buckles. this adverse effect can be mitigated by adding zipper columns or vertical members connecting the intersection points of the braces above the first floor....

this paper is an investigation of $l$-dual frames with respect to a function-valued inner product, the so called $l$-bracket product on $l^{2}(g)$, where g is a locally compact abelian group with a uniform lattice $l$. we show that several well known theorems for dual frames and dual riesz bases in a hilbert space remain valid for $l$-dual frames and $l$-dual riesz bases in $l^{2}(g)$.
