Assessment of progressive collapse of steel structures under seismic loads
Progressive collapse involves a series of failures that lead to partial or total collapse of a structure. It is generally initiated by loss of one or more vertical load carrying elements.

End-plate connections and analysis of semi-rigid steel frames [PDF]
The thesis examines the behaviour of end-plate connections and the related topic of analysis of unbraced semi-rigid steel plane frames with criteria for their design.

Semi-Active Control of Post-tensioned Steel Frames [PDF]
After the Northridge 1994 earthquake it was found that failures in steel frame buildings were mainly concentrated in beam-column connections. This prompted researchers to work on improvements, mainly focussed on increasing the rotational ductility ...

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Technology Frames: The Art of Perspective and Interpretation in Strategy [PDF]
In this paper, I bring together the literatures of the economics of innovation, corporate strategy and managerial and organizational cognition to explore how and why companies come to different conclusions and strategies for technology when presented ...

EFFECT OF MODIFYING BRACE SLENDERNESS IN CONCENTRICALLY BRACED FRAMES [PDF]
Steel moment-resisting frames are susceptible to large lateral displacements during severe earthquake ground motions leading engineers to turn to stiffer concentrically braced frames (CBF) as a way to resist earthquake loads.

A computational model of the referential semantics of projective prepositions [PDF]
In this paper we present a framework for interpreting locative expressions containing the prepositions in front of and behind. These prepositions have different semantics in the viewer-centred and intrinsic frames of reference (Vandeloise, 1991).

Evaluation of Shear Wall-RC Frame Interaction of High-Rise Buildings using 2-D model Approach
The usefulness of structural walls in the framing of buildings has long been recognized. It is generally preferred to use shear wall in combination with moment resisting frame. In the present study, an effort is also made to investigate the shear wall-RC
