In the recent years, 3D printing has become a topic of great interest from both academic and industrial sector through increasing importance Industry 4.0. This technology is based on layer-by-layer melting materials to create three-dimensional object. It also known as additive production, it feasible several different methods such stereolithography, selective laser sintering (SLM, SLS), these a...

A tsunami is a natural disaster that destroys structures and kills many lives in countries the world. risk assessment of building under loading thus essential to evaluate damage minimize potential loss. crucial tool fragility curve. Most curves for force were developed using survey damaged data. This research proposed method developing based on analytical model In development, generic was one-s...

The over-strength coefficient is one of the key factors for seismic safety a structure. For RC frames, infill wall may improve lateral bearing capacity, while demand increases as well, which leads to unexpected performance an infilled frame in past earthquakes. Therefore, it necessary systematically study effect frames from point capacity and demand. In this paper, 36 structures with/without wa...

Polymer filling of the air holes of Indium Phosphide based two-dimensional photonic crystals is reported. After infiltration of the holes with a liquid monomer and solidification of the infill in situ by thermal polymerization, complete filling is proven using scanning electron microscopy. Optical transmission measurements of a filled photonic crystal structure exhibit a redshift of the air ban...

In recent years, steel-concrete composite shear walls have been widely used in enormous high-rise buildings. Due to their high strength and ductility, enhanced stiffness, stable cycle characteristics large energy absorption, such can be adopted auxiliary buildings, surrounding the reactor containment structure of nuclear power plants resist lateral forces induced by heavy winds severe earthquak...

Abstract The February 2014 extratropical cyclonic storm chain, which impacted the English Channel (UK) and Dawlish in particular, caused significant damage to main railway connecting south-west region rest of UK. incident line be closed for two months, £50 million an estimated £1.2bn economic loss. In this study, we collate eyewitness accounts, analyse sea level data conduct numerical modelling...
