Abstract During the last three decades, interest in application of steel shear walls has increased worldwide. Steel are used as stiffened and unstiffened walls. One main shortcomings plate wall (SPSW) is infill buckling mainly under lateral wind seismic loads. useful solutions to prevent use with corrugated plates. In this research, behavior a consisting two plates was investigated material cas...

<p class="Abstract">To optimize the 3D printing process, influence of its parameters on performance process needs to be investigated. This research investigates effect infill pattern, density, and angle time filament material length. First, this collected length data for each combination angle. The collection was conducted by implementing Repetier-Host v.2.1.6 software as a acquisition to...

The transport of 3H+ (as HTO) and 36Cl- (as Na36Cl) was investigated in the dynamic system, i.e., in the columns filled with crushed pure granite and fracture infill of various grain sizes. The aim of column experiments was to determine important transport parameter, such as the retardation, respectively distribution coefficients, Peclet numbers and hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients. Further...

A thin layer of ductile fiber-reinforced mortar material referred to as Engineered Cementitious Composites, or ECC has been experimentally investigated as a seismic retrofit for unreinforced masonry infill walls in non-ductile reinforced concrete frames. Compression tests of masonry prisms retrofitted with 13mm of ECC were conducted representing the compression strut of a masonry infill under i...

Prefabricated engineered solid wood panel construction systems can sequester and store CO2. Modular cross-laminated timber (CLT, also called cross-lam) panels form the basis of low-carbon, engineered construction systems using solid wood panels that can be used to build residential infill developments of 10 storeys or higher. Multi-apartment buildings of 4 to 10 storeys constructed entirely in ...

A multi proxy approach was applied in the reconstruction of the architecture of Medieval horse stable architecture, the maintenance practices associated with that structure as well as horse alimentation at the beginning of 13th century in Central Europe. Finally, an interpretation of the local vegetation structure along Morava River, Czech Republic is presented. The investigated stable experien...

Apopular approach to handling constraints in surrogate-based optimization is through the additionof penalty functions to an infill sampling criterion that seeks objective improvement. Typical samplingmetrics, such as expected improvement tend to have multimodal landscapes and can be difficult to search. When the problem is transformed using a penalty approach the search can become riddled with ...
