The behaviour of seismically damaged steel joints with reduced beam section (RBS) at elevated temperatures has not been widely investigated yet. Therefore, the study summarized in this article aimed to (i) analyse response RBS high and (ii) investigate influence plastic damage, due cyclic loading, on fire performance joints. A set rib stiffeners both lower upper flanges was designed according E...

Background:The diagnostic accuracy of frozen section as an important source of information in surgical pathology is important not only in the management of surgical patients but also as a measure of quality control in surgical pathology. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of frozen sections over a 6-year period in a teaching hospital in Iran. Methods: We retr...

Telecommunication tower is an important component of the basic infrastructure of communication systems and thus preserving them in events of natural disasters - such as a severe earthquake - is of high priority. In past studies, researchers have mostly considered the effects of wind and earthquake-induced loads on 3-legged (triangular cross-section) self-supporting steel telecommunication tower...
