The effort towards automation of the building industry processes has increased significantly over last years worldwide. One key tools in this process is modeling buildings using Building Information Modeling (BIM). When following fundamental principles, a BIM model serves as an up-to-date pool information. Combining results effective spatial data collection techniques with information from mode...

conventional methods for seismic design of structures are based on building capacity. because of the disadvantages of conventional methods, base isolation system  is known as an effective solution to protect structures against earthquakes. in this study the operation of 2-storey steel frame with and without seismic isolators under near-fault earthquake of chichi، northridge and  capemendocine  ...

The problems of degradation concrete and reinforced constructions buildings long operation are formulated on the basis performed field researches its urgency is noted in work. authors analyzed a number works this problem. In particular, results technical diagnostics many structures, both newly built long-term operation, described. necessity periodic noted. Based these studies, main factors that...

tuned liquid dampers (tld) are among passive control devices that have been used to suppress the vibration of structures in recent years. these structures must be adequately presentable as an equivalent single degree of freedom system with long fundamental period. the tld, located at the top floors of the structure, can dissipate the external input energy into the system through the sloshing ef...
