From the last few years, earthquakes are occur in many countries, up to 85% building are crashed and in that building lot of human are stuck, injured or may be dead. So in that way where these humans are stuck it's not possible to find in that building, in this paper thermal imaging are used to detect the human body heat, then they will easily detected and they will rescue from that buildi...

The energy performance of buildings depends on how effectively the building envelope responds to climate. Architects, therefore, need to design building envelopes with the consideration of local climate characteristics in the early design stage. Simplified formulas were used that evaluate the heating and cooling energy demand of building envelopes, which were applied to a model building with en...

Providing sufficient amounts of outdoor air to occupants is a critical building function for supporting occupant health, well-being and productivity. In tropical climates, high ventilation rates require substantial amounts of energy to cool and dehumidify supply air. This study evaluates the energy consumption and associated cost for thermally conditioning outdoor air provided for building vent...

A 54-story steel, perimeter-frame building in downtown Los Angeles, California, is identified by a wave method using records of the Northridge earthquake of 1994 (ML=6.4, R=32 km). The building is represented as a layered shear beam and a torsional shaft, characterized by the corresponding velocities of vertically propagating waves through the structure. The previously introduced waveform inver...

The former Imperial County Services (ICS) Building is a rare case of an instrumented building damaged by an earthquake. In this paper, it is used to test a structural health monitoring method, based on detecting novelties in the recorded seismic response, by examining the correlation between their occurrence, spatial distribution and magnitude with the degree of the observed damage. The novelti...

dynamic behavior of the wind-excited-benchmark-building using semi-active electromagnetic friction dampers (saemfds), with modulated homogeneous friction algorithm is presented. the performance of the benchmark building is studied under across wind loads by installing the saemfds with smooth boundary layer semi-active friction (sblsaf) algorithm. the governing equations of motion are solved by ...

Building construction challenge, in recent years, is the reduction of social, economical and environmentalimpacts along with economical nature and increasing life quality, as here sustainable construction is important. Pre-fabrication and industrialization are referred as a solution of sustainable construction due to some of its main characteristics consisting of many sustainability aspects. Du...

The building cost of a spanning tree is the sum of weights of the edges used to construct the spanning tree. The routing cost of a source vertex s on a spanning tree T is the total summation of distances between the source vertex s and all the vertices d in T . Given a source vertices set S, the multiple-source routing cost of a spanning tree T is the summation of the routing costs for source v...
