After Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquakes, several studies have been conducted to improve the seismic performance of steel structures. In this investigation, new steel moment-resisting connections (FSFN) developed by the authors, were studied by the non-linear numerical analysis. These connections were single-sided beam-to-column assemblies that are representative of exterior beam-to-...

coupled -shear walls are one of lateral load resisting systems in high and medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. the lateral structural response is exactly dependents on the shear walls behavior; therefore these elements must response well whenundergodifferent load conditions. the structures located in near-source region behave differently compared to those in near-source sites when subjec...

accurate identification of seismic hazard and the estimation of associated seismic demands are the key components in the performance-based seismic design (pbsd). although nonlinear time history (nth) analysis is the most precise procedure to evaluate the seismic demands of buildings structures, it is relatively complex and time-consuming for routine applications. nonlinear static procedures (ns...

In this paper, we propose a framework that enables fault tolerance and dynamic load balancing for legacy codes running as backends of services. The framework architecture is divided into two layers. The upper layer contains the service interfaces and additional management services, while the legacy backends run in the lower layer. The management layer can record the invocation history or save s...

The internal faults of transformer can be identified by various techniques. The proposed technique is by the analysis of no-load current and harmonic contents present in it. The no-load current of transformer is non-sinusoidal for sinusoidal input voltage. And hence it contains harmonics in healthy condition of transformer. But if transformer has any internal fault then the no-load current magn...

In cloud computing the major problem area is fault tolerance. When many clients request the server simultaneously, server is overloaded which causes fault. In our approach the load balancing technique is used to avoid fault. There are various fault tolerance techniques in existing cloud computing. They are self healing, job migration, static load balancing and replication. There are some drawba...

The main purpose of this paper was to find a simple solution for load balancing and fault tolerance in OSGi. The challenge was to implement a highly available web application such as a shopping cart system with load balancing and fault tolerance, without having to change the core of OSGi. Keywords—Fault tolerance, load balancing, OSGi, shopping cart system.

This study examined and presents an effective method for detection of failure of conductor bars in the winding of rotor of induction motor in low load conditions using neural networks of radial-base functions. The proposed method used Hilbert method to obtain the stator current signal push. The frequency and signal amplitude of the push stator were used as the input of the neural network and th...

In this paper, we consider a load-balancing process allocation method for fault-tolerant multicomputer systems that balances the load before as well as after faults start to degrade the performance of the system. In order to be able to tolerate a single fault, each process (primary process) is duplicated (i.e., has a backup process). The backup process executes on a different processor from the...
