The notion of even valuation is introduced as a natural generalization of volume on compact convex subsets of Euclidean space. A recent characterization theorem for volume leads in turn to a connection between even valuations on compact convex sets and continuous functions on Grassmannians. This connection can be described in part using generating distributions for symmetric compact convex sets...

Flexibility is a concept associated with variable needs of human beings.Today transformable structures are used to meet human changeable demands with different purposes and functions such as facades, roofs, sunshades, etc.A Flexible structure must be able to change physically and adapt to predetermined conditions.To provide flexibility and adaptability,transformable systems are required to poss...

the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

High-rise structures are more vulnerable when subjected to lateral loading. Generally, the shear walls function as main load resistant system in high-rise structures. In case of with an open ground story, wall-floor slab-deep beam acts together a rigid jointed frame connection withstand gravity and force induced by external loadings like earthquakes wind. The will be higher concentration stress...

The paper deals with the preparation of an experiment semi-rigid timber connections using modern connectors Rothoblaas Alumidi. consists loading a bracket structural wood. This is attached to glue laminated beam Alumidi connector. There are few specimens, which will be examined. Each specimen differs in number and measurements beams. deformations connection itself, as well deformation measured ...

There is a large amount of backfilled earth on both sides the wall and top lower Daning Reservoir’s cutoff wall, which greatly disturbed by project, safety needs to be evaluated. Based deformation law stress condition rigid during construction, according connection characteristics plastic structure, analysis carried out using field measurement data, so as deduce underneath, evaluate wall. The r...
