Lightweight steel framing is a method in housing and construction that have been widely used in lightweight steel construction. In this method, the structure is built by cold formed steel elements. They are cost-effective, light, and easy to assemble. However, the performance of lateral load resisting systems in cold-formed steel structures specially the behavior of cold-formed steel shear wall...

The seismic performance of elliptic braced moment resisting frame (ELBRF) is assessed here and is found that the structural behavior is improved and is of free of architectural space. The demand for seismic performance of ELBRF is estimated through conventional pushover methods of 3, 5, 7, and 10-story ELBRF frames and they are compared with special moment resisting frames (SMRF) and X-Braced C...

in this paper the response modification factor due to ductility and saved strength of cylindrical concrete elevated and ground tanks is obtained using finite element method and nonlinear push over analysis considering the lateral effective modes of tanks. to modeling the behavior of the tank materials, the five parameters william-warnke and prefect elastoplastic models are used for concrete and...

background: the role of mesenchymal stem cell in cellular therapy is the subject of interest for many researchers. the differentiation potential of mscs and abilities in modulations of the recipient’s immune system makes them important cells in tissue regenerative studies. mscs by releasing the proinflammatory cytokines play important role in immunomodulatory systems; however the signaling path...
