recently, scientists developed the seismic rehabilitation of structures and their points of view were changed from strength to the performance of structures. nonlinear static procedure (nsp) or pushover analysis is a new method that is chosen for its speed and simplicity in calculations. “seismic rehabilitation code” & fema356 considered this method. result of this analysis is a target displace...

The atmospheric flow and dispersion of traffic exhaust were numerically studied in this work while considering a model street canyon intersection city. finite volume method (FVM)-based large-eddy simulation (LES) technique line with ANSYS Fluent have been used for pollutant modelling through the consideration boundary layer (ABL). Hexahedral elements are considered computational domain discreti...

A quay wall directly next to a building, both dating from around 1870, collapsed along the Grimburgwal in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on 1 September 2020. The historic consisted of masonry wall, built timber deck supported by several rows piles about 12 m long. As over 200 km such quays exists Amsterdam and streets are usually very busy, collapse triggered question safety remaining walls city. fore...

The set-user-id facility in Unix can be used to form the basis for the implementation of a wide variety of diierent security policies in Unix. We show how the Chinese Wall security policy can be implemented using this facility. The approach is not appropriate for security critical applications: it serves to illustrate that it can be done in a rather simple way, and may be useful for less critic...

using records and documents left by muslim geographers and historions, this article tries to rebuild the historical geography of zarang, now a buried islamic - iranian city and once the administrative center of the sistan region in southeastern iran. the aim of this reconstruction is to help archaeologists have access to the plan and approximate whereabouts of major facilities of the city befor...

results in terms of radon and thoron emissions, travertine and plaster were found to be the most appropriate and inappropriate covering for walls, respectively. furthermore, granite and travertine were discovered to be inappropriate materials for flooring, while plastic floor covering was found suitable. natural ventilation performed better for radon, while artificial ventilation worked better ...

this paper deals with evaluating the thermal behavior of exterior walls in dwellings of a particular place. today, there is a huge increase in constructing multi-storey apartment buildings and single-family houses in the city of yazd, a city with hot dry climate and a rich historical architecture in iran. unfortunately, the new methods that are used nowadays to make the envelopes of these dwell...

Data are related to the multi-objective optimization process applied to the building materials to obtain high energy-efficient precast walls for cold climate. The methodology has been explained on the paper entitled "High performance precast external walls for cold climate by a multi criteria methodology" (Baglivo and Congedo, 2016) [1]. The modeFRONTIER rel.4.3 optimization tool has been used ...
