In this paper, we study the problem of mining a class of spatio-temporal patterns, called flock patterns, which represent a groups of moving objects close each other in a given time segment (Gudmundsson and van Kreveld, Proc. ACM GIS’06; Benkert, Gudmundsson, Hubner, Wolle, Computational Geometry, 41:11, 2008). Based on frequent-pattern mining approach, such as Apriori, Eclat, or LCM, we presen...

Acceleration-sensitive non-structural elements not only constitute a significant portion of building’s component inventory, but also comprise components and systems that are indispensable to the operational continuity essential facilities. In New Zealand, Section 08 seismic loadings standard, NZS 1170.5: Earthquake Actions, dedicated 4219: Seismic Performance Engineering Systems in Buildings, a...

Asphalt shingles constitute more than 80% of the roofing materials in current residential housing United States. Many post-disaster surveys have reported failure these elements below design level wind event. Research to realistically model aerodynamics asphalt at full-scale is limited, resulting knowledge gaps peak loads and effects permeability. In this study, resistance are studied by using a...

This paper discusses different formulations for calculating earthquake-induced displacement demands to be associated with nonlinear static analysis procedures the assessment of masonry structures. Focus is placed on systems fundamental periods between 0.1 and 0.5 s, which inelastic amplification usually more pronounced. The accuracy predictive equations assessed based results from time-history ...
