The post-tensioned frame is one of the recently emerged structural systems for multi-story timber buildings. It characterized by a high level prefabrication and quick erection on construction site. developed at ETH Zurich based beam–column connections with hardwood reinforcement column in connection region base glued-in steel rods. Such system suitable low- mid-rise buildings that are located r...

Connection matrices of graph parameters were first introduced by M. Freedman, L. Lovász and A. Schrijver (2007) to study the question which graph parameters can be represented as counting functions of weighted homomorphisms. The rows and columns of a connection matrix M(f, ) of a graph parameter f and a binary operation are indexed by all finite (labeled) graphs Gi and the entry at (Gi, Gj) is ...

Structures subjected to seismic forces must have adequate strength and stiffness to control inter storey drift in order to prevent damage to structural and nonstructural elements during excitations. Linked column concept for steel structures was proposed by Peter Dusicka et.al(2009) with the objective of utilizing replaceable components that are strategically placed to protect the gravity load ...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of family of local atoms in a 2-inner product space and then this concept is generalized to an atomic system. Besides, a characterization of an atomic system lead to obtain a new frame. Actually this frame is a generalization of previous works.
