The main issues in a cloud based environment are security, process fail rate and performance. Fault tolerance plays a key role in ensuring high serviceability and reliability in cloud. Nowadays, demands for high fault tolerance, high serviceability and high reliability are becoming unprecedentedly strong, building a high fault tolerance, high serviceability and high reliability cloud is a criti...

Floor vibrations induced by human walking were investigated in a reinforced concrete structure. Six experimental floor structures were built in laboratories with the same dimensions and boundary conditions. Subjective tests were performed to assess the vibration serviceability of the floor structures. First, the subjects were asked to walk across a floor and then to rate the intensity of the vi...

elevated water tanks as one of the main lifeline elements are the structures of high importance. since they are extremely vulnerable under lateral forces, their serviceability performance during and after strong earthquakes is a matter of concern. as such, in recent years, the seismic behavior of water tanks has been the focus of a significant amount of studies. in the present work, three reinf...

in this paper the response of cantilevered reinforced concrete (rc) beams with smart rebars under static lateral loading has been numerically studied, using finite element method. the material used in this study is superelasticshape memory alloys (se smas) which contains nickel and titanium elements. the se sma is a unique alloy that has the ability to undergo large deformations and return to t...

This paper presents a rational procedure to optimize design for mass timber rocking wall systems utilizing genetic algorithm (GA) beyond typical displacement-based metrics wood buildings. Traditional is limited simple displacement targets, with optimization techniques (GA), it feasibly consider more performance chrematistics (e.g. costs, serviceability, etc.). By formulating drift targets and o...

This work is dedicated to constructing a multi-scale structural health monitoring system to monitor and evaluate the serviceability of bridges based on the Hadoop Ecosystem (MS-SHM-Hadoop). By taking the advantages of the fault-tolerant distributed file system called the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and high-performance parallel data processing engine called MapReduce programming parad...

Nowadays, the geotechnical design trend is increasingly heading towards serviceability limit state. However, current practice in of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) walls mostly relies on ultimate Commonly available software programs provide typical factor safety values against various failure modes. With increasing height and variability GRS walls, deformation characteristics also become an ...

A long-span suspension bridge is a complex structural system that interacts with the surrounding environment and the users. The environmental actions and the corresponding loads (wind, temperature, rain, earthquake, etc.) together with the live loads (railway traffic, highway traffic), have a strong influence on the dynamic response of the bridge, and can significantly influence the structural ...
