Despite the significance of building walls for energy savings, a large body of research has focused mainly on thermal comfort, environmental impacts, and economic costs of residential buildings. However, few researchers have addressed the thermal performance of common bu...

development of new methods in seismic analysis and increasing application of performance based seismic design necessitate the study of the seismic performance of structures designed based on iranian regulations. in this study the seismic performance of steel moment-resisting frames designed based on the tenth code of the iranian national building regulations is investigated. frames are differen...
