In emergency scenarios, immediate reconnaissance efforts are necessary. These efforts often take months to complete in full. While underway, building occupants are unable to return to their homes/businesses, and thus, the impact on the society of the disaster-stricken region is increased. In order to mitigate the impact, researchers have focused on creating a more efficient means of assessing t...

Due to the rapid paradigm shift in Internet of Things networks from wired and centralized flexible wireless decentralized networks, building effective reliable distributed consensus mechanisms over is becoming essential. Especially, since performance communication endpoints a large-scale network limited by their capability, it requires careful co-design attain fast scalable mechanism with high ...

Abstract In order to further optimize the output current harmonic suppression effect of photovoltaic grid-connected inverters, a composite control strategy LCL type inverter is proposed. This combines proportional complex integral (PCI) and repetitive (RC) in parallel, draws block diagram, introduces transfer function, designs PCI RC parameters. Prove that compound can reduce harmonics, achieve...

This study investigated the response of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs in building structures to internal explosions. The performances of two slabs designed in accordance with the protective structural design and conventional gravity design approaches were evaluated in terms of midspan displacements, support rotations, and damage patterns. Data from available slab blast experiments in the open ...

In this study, an existing hospital structure has been evaluated with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). This building is accommodated in Karaj with soil type II. At first, two 2-D frames along X, Y direction are selected. Then, five performance levels are determined according to “Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings (Publication No. 360) including Immediate Operational (IO), Limited Dam...
