Exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. This paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...

in this paper, acceptance criteria of steel building code, comprehensive and quick evaluation procedures for x-bracing, are compared to each other parametrically and numerically. for this purpose, it is assumed first that the sample building is designed to meet steel building code and then by introducing transform parameters and using stress ratio of the designed components, acceptance of the d...

In the domain of embedded software systems the increasing complexity of the functionality as well as the increase in variations caused by product lines requires a modular design process, separating function-based and component-based design. As a consequence, functional integration becomes a central task in the development process, to avoid unforeseen interaction. While currently functional inte...

The most attractive benefits of component-based development can only be realized if the components are of a level of quality much higher than run-of-the-mill application software. This presentation will review a set of techniques for producing and qualifying such components. It will conclude with a discussion proof issues and techniques for proving programs with extensive use of pointers, as O-...
