Old machines often breakdown unpredictably increasing your expenses through maintenance costs and lost production. In the present era various modern technologies are been emerging in field of manufacturing which proven to be disruptive. For established industries their machine tools sometimes it is difficult cope up with current scenario. Hence retrofitting an term where improvisation old setup...

Retrofitting our current building stock is a vital part of meeting emissions reductions targets, using energy in a more efficient way and creating sustainable lifestyles. However, one of the key barriers identified is a lack of tools to support making retrofitting decisions. In this paper, the creation of a transparent and flexible building energy performance simulation model SdSAP is reported ...

in recent years, seismic evaluation and vulnerability of the existing buildings, that have been designed based on an earlier seismic design code or designed without seismic design criteria, has been very important. in this paper, the seismic evaluation and vulnerability of concrete buildings, using an old 5- story building with shear walls as an example has been discussed. for this building, fi...

Many constructions are globally built with reinforced or prestressed concrete and a large part of them designed expected to resist earthquake actions in addition gravity loads [...]

A large number of researchers have studied the behavior of infilled frames. It is evident through their studies that infill walls can provide both an economic and practical means for the lateral stability of framed structures and a viable alternative for retrofitting existing structures to resist seismic, wind, and blast loads. Despite this, there is reluctance from the engineering community to...
