Progressive collapse starts when any load-carrying elements of the building during extreme loading, such as earthquakes, blasts, or fire. The Precast Steel Reinforced Concrete (PSRC) buildings comprise precast RCC columns and steel girders. These structural are connected to form a moment-resisting frame susceptible progressive collapse. However, this system has advantage inherent stiffness damp...

A same-syntax extension of RDF to first-order logic results in a collapse of the model theory due to logical paradoxes resulting from diagonalization. RDF is thus the wrong material for building the Semantic Web tower.

The progressive collapse of the building structures due to accidents has become a hot research topic of civil engineering all around the world. The researches and designs on progressive collapse are based on accurately simulation for the failure process of whole structural systems. However, due to the complicated material and geometric nonlinearity and large computational workload in collapse s...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to describe the outcome of muscle-building therapy for nasal muscles in cases of nasal valve stenosis or collapse. The present study was performed to investigate the best way to combine transcutaneous and intranasal surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback training of muscles involved in nasal valve function with a home exercise program and electric st...

This work applies 64,765 simulated seismic ground motions to four models each of 6or 20-story, steel special moment-resisting frame buildings. We consider two vector intensity measures and categorize the building response as “collapsed,” “unrepairable,” or “repairable.” We then propose regression models to predict the building responses from the intensity measures. The best models for “collapse...

The vortex collapse-reconnection process presents behaviors commonly observed in turbulent ows: multiple spatial and temporal scales, rapid vorticity and strain-rate ampliication and dissipation through generation of small scales. In this work we reduce the computational complexity of our problem by using hierarchical methods (tree codes), introducing a time ex-trapolation framework for each pa...
