Sensitivity analysis of multi-storey building due to blast loading

Improving Multi-storey Building Sensor Network with an External Hub

Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in which maximizing network lifetime is a key challenge. Previous research into the performance of a network in a building environment has been concerned with radio propagation within a single floor. We investigate the link quality distribution to obtain full coverage of signal str...

Finite Element Analysis for CFST Columns under Blast Loading

The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...

Behavior Analysis of the Nonwoven Needle-Punched Polyester Fabrics Due to Compression Loading

Estimating the Mechanical Properties of Travertine Building Stones Due to Salt Crystallization Using Multivariate Regression Analysis

     Salt crystallization is one of the most powerful weathering agents that may cause a rapid change in the mechanical properties of stones, and thus limit their durability. Consequently, determining the mechanical properties of stones due to salt crystallization is important for natural building stones used in marine environmental and mild climatic conditions, which expose excessive salt crys...

Sensitivity analysis of dynamic response of dam-reservoir-foundation system due to foundation material

The present study investigate the effects of mechanical properties of the rock layers in the foundation of concrete gravity dam on the seismic response of gravity dam–reservoir –foundation systems. The mutual effects of different domains are considered in the present research. As a case study the biggest section of Shafarud dam in the north of Iran is modeled two dimensionally using ABAQUS soft...
