Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...

Studies done by the previous researchers in Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFST) have a significant focus on bond performance of CFST. This paper includes studies evaluation critical parameters such as interface condition, length, infilled concrete strength, and end friction cross-section dimension these members. It is found that effect length had very little impact stress it shows promising valu...

The research stud was undertaken to find out socio-economic condition and nutritional status of child labourer in the slum of Rourkela city of Orissa state where form 200 samples were rabdomly chosen and information were collected through structured interview. Form the stud it has been observed that the socio economic conditions and their working conditions were very poor where the range of wor...

Graph databases supporting retrieval based on structural similarity utilize structure indexes. A structure index is a data structure that indexes different structural features of member graphs. These features are typically extracted at insertion time. However, as the extraction of structural features may suffer from combinatorial explosion, the structure index takes long insertion time and larg...

A dual structural fused system consists of replaceable ductile elements (fuses) that sustain major seismic damage and leave the primary structure (PS) virtually undamaged. The seismic performance of a fused structural system is determined by the combined behavior of the individual PS and fuse components. In order to design a feasible and economic structural fuse concept, we need a procedure to ...

Abstract In this chapter I examine female marriage migration to South Korea from Vietnam as a transnational case study, explain the discriminatory consequences of Korea’s laws and policies on nationality which frame such ‘a critical project for nation-state’ (Toyota M. Citizensh Stud 12(1):1, 2008, p. 3). Through socio-legal demonstrate how notions gender, race, culture identity shape internal ...
