This study carried out comparative seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames infilled by masonry walls with different heights. Partial and fully infilled reinforced concrete frames were modeled for the research objectives and the analysis model for a bare reinforced concrete frame was also established for comparison. Non–linear static analyses for the studied frames were performed to in...

Terrestrial laser scanners can rapidly acquire thousands of 3D points over a structure. The individual scan points are of relatively low precision (±2mm – ±50mm) depending on the instrument type. However, combining the dense 3D point data with judicious modelling strategies can produce a very precise surface model. A surface model has advantages for structural deformation monitoring where defle...

The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...

the combination of flexural frame and shear wall is one of the suitable systems to apply in reinforced concrete buildings. the deflections of flexural frame become limited due to the high stiffness of wall and the interaction of these systems. tall buildings even higher than fifty stories can be designed by using frame- wall systems. with respect to special behavior of flexural frame or shear w...

• For the second pass (3DPost−1), we revert time to the previous frame t−1 and save all vertices’ 3D positions at that time. We then return to the current frame t and use the vertex 3D positions at time t to project the 3D vertices of time t − 1 into image space. Hence, we again store 3D positions for each pixel, but this time the 3D positions from time t−1 using the projection at time t. Frame...

Instrumentation, structural modeling, and model updating are incorporated into the design and construction process of a multi-span bridge to change the paradigm of traditional bridge design to a long-term bridge design. A continuous three span composite steel stringer bridge in Barre, Massachusetts was used as a pilot bridge. A monitoring system was installed in order to capture structural beha...

This paper presents HoloVizio true 3D display technology, and its real life implementations, the HoloVizio display models from Holografika. Our patented technology uses a specially arranged array of optical modules and a holographic screen. Each point of the holographic screen emits light beams of different color and intensity to various directions. The light beams generated in the optical modu...
