A new inter-module connection was developed, adopting structural topology optimisation (STO) and the inter-locking method of joining. The performance assessed through a series monotonic cyclic FE analyses. Results revealed that behaviour comparable to other joints in literature, while managing tackle their limitations by introducing both an easy-to-install easy-to-disassemble configuration with...

Recycling steel building components is key to the sustainability of a structure’s end-of-life, as it is the most economical solution. In this paper the effects of usage of recycled steel material in tall buildings aspects are investigated. Keywords—Building, recycled material, steel, structure.

Sustainability is always expressed in terms of the endurance of systems and processes. The objective for ecological sustainability is sustainable development of human shelters. A building is a designed intervention into the natural setting of the environment. The existing ecosystem always gets a deep impact due to the decision of constructing a building. Architecture in a broader sense serves t...

Modular Building Systems (MBS) offer numerous benefits in terms of productivity, sustainability and safety. Therefore, MBSs are considered as a viable option to sort out the housing crisis Britain well drive towards sustainable construction. Development materials, manufacturing techniques, connection types structural designs with respect offsite construction is essential achieve goals. Recent a...

a modular $k$-coloring, $kge 2,$ of a graph $g$ without isolated vertices is a coloring of the vertices of $g$ with the elements in $mathbb{z}_k$ having the property that for every two adjacent vertices of $g,$ the sums of the colors of the neighbors are different in $mathbb{z}_k.$ the minimum $k$ for which $g$ has a modular $k-$coloring is the modular chromatic number of $g.$ except for some s...

the objective of this paper is to present a new method for protecting the lives of residents in catastrophic earthquake failures of unreinforced masonry buildings by introducing some safe rooms within the buildings. the main idea is that occupants can seek refuge within the safe rooms as soon as the earthquake ground motions are felt. the information obtained from the historical ground motions ...

Satellite RNA guides kinetochore assembly R ošić et al. reveal that a non-coding RNA transcribed from repetitive DNA sequences promotes kinetochore assembly and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Centromeres—the chromosome regions where kinetochore proteins assemble and attach chromosomes to the mitotic spindle—are defi ned by epige-netic factors such as the histone variant CENP-A rather th...

Mathematical models are increasingly used in both academia and the pharmaceutical industry to understand how phenotypes emerge from systems of molecular interactions. However, their current construction as monolithic sets of equations presents a fundamental barrier to progress. Overcoming this requires modularity, enabling subsystems to be specified independently and combined incrementally, and...

Modular Building Systems (MBS) are still in the phase of developing its popularity industry, with emerging novel designs. Initially, MBS walls and floors had been highly influenced by Light-gauge Steel Frame (LSF) designs made Cold-Formed (CF) steel studs, either as loadbearing or non-loadbearing types which have extensively researched all over world. However, recently practice industry tends t...
