ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS WHEN CONSTRUCTING INVERTED ROOF STRUCTURES WITH GREENERY

Retractable roof structures

j This paper presents a new concept for retractable roof structures. The new structures consist of a foldable lattice of beams connected by cylindrical joints, to which covering panels or membranes are attached. These structures fold towards their perimeter and there is practically no limit to their shape. Solutions to the key problems that have to be solved in the course of the kinematic desig...

Vibration Attenuation of Nonlinear Hysteretic Structures with Fully Unknown Parameters

Natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.As a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. Activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. Thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...

Automatic Structures with Parameters

Roof Tunnel Stability by Wedge Analysis

A jointed rock mass presents a more complex design problem than the other rock masses. The complexity arises from the number (greater than two) of joint sets which define the degree of discontinuity of medium.  The condition that arises in these types of rock masses is the generation of discrete rock blocks, of various geometries. They defined by the natural fracture surfaces and the excavation...
