dynamic behavior of the wind-excited-benchmark-building using semi-active electromagnetic friction dampers (saemfds), with modulated homogeneous friction algorithm is presented. the performance of the benchmark building is studied under across wind loads by installing the saemfds with smooth boundary layer semi-active friction (sblsaf) algorithm. the governing equations of motion are solved by ...

The energy consumption of existing buildings depends on their physical features, climatic conditions, and business activities, such as operating hours occupancy characteristics. It is necessary to perform a fair assessment building performance considering the activities. has become especially collect manage information activities in hospitals since operate continuously throughout year, treating...

In order to facilitate future research on service-oriented architectures, we create a simulation system which can be used as an experimental platform and a benchmark. This simulator is based on a real-world system: an airline fare pricing/ticketing website and the necessary services to support it. We describe the system our simulator is based on and the modifications we made to make the simulat...

To control structures against wind and earthquake excitations, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Systems and Neural Networks are combined in this study. The control scheme consists of an ANFIS inverse model of the structure to assess the control force. Considering existing ANFIS controllers, which require a second controller to generate training data, the authors’ approach does not need anot...

ASCE 7-16 has provided a comprehensive platform for the performance-based design of tall buildings. The core of the procedure is based on nonlinear response history analysis of the structure subjected to recorded or simulated ground motions. This study investigates consistency in the ASCE 7-16 requirements regarding the use of different types of ground motions. For this purpose performance of a...

Currently, we can solve a wide range of tasks using computer vision algorithms, which reduce manual labor and enable rapid analysis the environment. The remote sensing domain provides vast amounts satellite data, but it also poses challenges associated with processing this data. Baseline solutions intermediate results are available for various tasks, such as forest species classification, infra...

At the present time some firms in the construction industry are attempting to adopt a BIM methodology of working. Each of these attempts reflects a varying BIM adoption philosophy and inevitably different BIM technologies, implementation strategies and roadmaps. These attempts are motivated to attain competitive advantages for product delivery in the market place. The question of what is the be...
