The timber structural members of a seven-story building from the end 18th century were evaluated following procedure based on previous research works. structure consisted timber-framed brick walls and heavy floors with mortar filling. Non-destructive measurements taken in 13 sampling areas framed walls. Detailed at least 3 pieces each sample (stress wave Time-of-Flight probing tests). Mean dens...

The paper aims to investigate the accuracies of idealization methods well-known shear-building models. Five are adopted idealize structural story capacity curve within range from zero deformation corresponding peak shear point. After point, a skew branch followed by constant used approximate curve. five verified using four reinforcement concrete (RC) frames with 3, 8, 12, and 18 stories. Result...

This study focuses on tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) using liquids with different characteristics optimized the adaptive harmony search algorithm (AHS). TLDs utilize characteristic features of to absorb dynamic forces entering structure and benefit from sloshing movement spring stiffness created by mass. have been investigate effect control analyzing various liquids. For optimization, memory consi...

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of different soil classes on behavior structure under earthquake loads. An evaluation was made for five-storey and eight-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures considering three (ZC, ZD, ZE) defined in Turkish Building Earthquake Code 2018 (TBEC 2018) current hazard Sakarya. structural system RC frame, cross-section geometry reinforc...

dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. these walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. in this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

in this article, vibration analysis of an euler-bernoulli beam resting on a pasternak-type foundation is studied. the governing equation is solved by using a spectral finite element model (sfem). the solution involves calculating wave and time responses of the beam. the fast fourier transform function is used for temporal discretization of the governing partial differential equation into a set ...

“malakoot” story (literally celestial kingdom), the only novel written by bahram sadeghi, is one of the memorial work that has been witten under the influence of “boof-e-koor” story (literally blind owl) written by sadegh hedayat by a distinctive style and during a specific period of time. aside from unique content of this story, form and structure of this work are also remarkable and marvelous...

abstract the present study is conducted to find various forms of times in two fictional genres “tale” and “minimalist story”, and also to disclose the factors behind the difference of the aforementioned forms in the two mentioned genres. time is represented in the levels of plot, setting, language and the images in various forms. in case of tales, due to the absence or weakness of the plot, the...
