Topographical optimisation of single-storey non-domestic steel framed buildings using photovoltaic panels for net-zero carbon impact

Building information modelling for sustainability appraisal of conceptual design of steel-framed buildings

Seismic Response of Steel Framed Hospital Buildings with Self-Centering Systems (2004-2005)

This paper introduces the concepts of Elasto-Plastic Systems (EPS) and Self-Centering Systems (SCS) for the seismic design of steel-framed hospital buildings. Redesign of the MCEER West Coast Demonstration Hospital with SCS is conducted using this approach. An ensemble of 25 simulated MCEER Ground Motions having a probability of exceedence of 5% in 50 years in Northridge, California is used as ...

Standard Unretrofitted Buildings and Net Zero-Energy Concept

There are many different possible combinations of building envelope, utility equipments and onsite energy generation equipments that can lead to net zero-energy performance. For instance, a building with standard design can offset its energy demand by adding a large amount of photovoltaic cells or by improving its energy efficiency rating first and then adding a smaller amount of photovoltaic c...

metrics for the detection of changed buildings in 3d old vector maps using als data (case study: isfahan city)

هدف از این تحقیق، ارزیابی و بهبود متریک های موجود جهت تایید صحت نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی برداری با استفاده از ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکن جدید شهر اصفهان می باشد . بنابراین ابر نقطه حاصل از لیزر اسکنر با چگالی حدودا سه نقطه در هر متر مربع جهت شناسایی عوارض تغییر کرده در نقشه های قدیمی سه بعدی استفاده شده است. تمرکز ما در این تحقیق بر روی ساختمان به عنوان یکی از اصلی ترین عارضه های شهری می باشد. من...

Free vibration analysis of steel framed structures

This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...
