Post-earthquake assessment procedures require component deformation limits to identify locations for visual inspection and needing structural repair. This study proposes a framework defining detailed repair earthquake-damaged concrete buildings. First, observations from cyclic tests of ductile components (beams, columns, walls) suggested that the residual capacity (in terms strength capacity) s...

Performance based seismic design (PBSD) is an alternative to code based approaches to design or evaluation of structures that fail to yield a more direct relationship between a seismic event and the corresponding structural performance of a building; this generally leads to over-conservatism. This paper presents a case study on the alternative procedures used in the performance based design of ...

This work proposes a methodology to optimize reinforced concrete structure. For this, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) algorithm was used, an from group of metaheuristic algorithms, which presents easy computational implementation. As study object, frame structure adapted real building subjected dynamic action artificially generated synoptic wind. The objective function is reduce volume t...

Optimal dose and timing of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is still an unresolved issue. We assessed whether dose intensifications with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin might improve outcome in younger patients with intermediate-risk aggressive NHL. Previously untreated patients were assigned to receive eit...
