In the building construction, framed structures are frequently used due to ease of construction and rapid progress of work. Masonry infill panels have been widely used as interior and exterior partition walls for aesthetic reasons and functional needs. When infill walls are omitted in a particular storey, a soft storey is formed compared to much stiffer other stories. The masonry infill has bee...

Infilled frame structures are commonly used in buildings. Masonry infilled RC frames are the most common type of structures used for multi-storeyed constructions in the developing countries, even in those which are located in seismically active regions also. Masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. In the presen...

The aim of the present study was to determine the vertical distribution and abundance of Aedes mosquitoes in multiple storey buildings in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ovitrap surveillance was conducted for 4 continuous weeks in multiple storey buildings in 4 residential areas located in Selangor [Kg. Baiduri (KB)] and Kuala Lumpur [Student Hostel of University of Malaya (UM), Kg. Kerinc...

the nonlinear static pushover analysis technique is mostly used in the performance-based design of structures and it is favored over nonlinear response history analysis. however, the pushover analysis with fema load distributions losses its accuracy in estimating seismic responses of long period structures when higher mode effects are important. some procedures have been offered to consider thi...

1 Summary. Sample size estimation is important in microarray or proteomic experiments since biologists can typically afford only a few repetitions. Classical procedures to calculate sample size are based on controlling type I error, e.g., family-wise error rate (FWER). In the context of microarray and other large-scale genomic data, it is more powerful and more reasonable to control false disco...

in this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. we then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

The performance of buildings subjected to earthquake loads has shown that asymmetric structures are caused more extensive damages in comparison with symmetric structures. Hence, the seismic performance of asymmetric structures should be assessed due to future random earthquakes. Reliability-based seismic assessment as one of the tools in performance-based earthquake engineering has been introdu...

In India the enormous loss of life and property perceived in last couple decades, attributable to failure structures instigated by earthquakes. Responsiveness is now being given assessment sufficiency strength framed RCC resist solid ground motions. The seismic reaction building frame terms performance point earthquake forces on Reinforced with help pushover analysis carried out this project. m...
