in order to investigate the structural behaviour of persian brick masonry domes, three types of semi-circular, (drop, ordinary and raised) four-centred and (drop, ordinary and raised) pointed domes have been studied. the three-dimensional non-linear finite element method using the ansys code has been used for analysis. domes with different thicknesses and spans have been subjected to monotonic ...

The brick ornamentation in Islamic architecture represents the unique skill of the architectural artists and we have seen the perfection of this kind of art during the Seljuk period. There is little information about the process of developing brick art in the architecture of Islamic mosque in Iran, and it has not yet been dealt with as it is worthy of this precious art. Therefore, it is necessa...

doruntash ancient city )tchoghazanbil( was built about13 th century b.c and middle period of elam civilization. as a complex ,doruntash was protected by three concentrated walls which are named: inner wall, middle wall and outer wall .big ziggurat ,mausoleums and palaces are some of the must monuments of the ancient city .tchoghazanbil is also famous for its water technologies and water element...

The supercloseness and superconvergence property of stabilized finite element methods applied to the Stokes problem are studied. We consider consistent residual based stabilization methods as well as nonconsistent local projection type stabilizations. Moreover, we are able to show the supercloseness of the linear part of the MINI-element solution which has been previously observed in practical ...

A DEM-CFD (discrete element method - computational fluid dynamics) model of an optical belt sorter was extensively compared with experiments a laboratory-scale to assess the model's accuracy. Brick and sand-lime brick were considered as materials. First, transport characteristics on conveyor belt, involving mass flow, lateral particle distribution proximity, compared. Second, sorting results be...

This paper presents the buzzing issue of green brick technology with the promises to protect the environment against the multidimensional damage done by traditional brick system. Bangladesh now facing a flourish in real estate sector that stimulates the brick industry too, but the very traditional brick making system destroys the diminishing forest of this country intensifying the emission of c...
