Comparison between Different Seismic Design Criteria for Tanks [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2016 It is well recognized that liquid storage tanks possess low ductility and energy absorbing capacity as compared to the conventional buildings. Accordingly, various design codes provide higher level of design seismic forces for tanks.

New definition for torsional irregularity based on floors rotations of reinforced concrete buildings
Journal of Engineering and Applied Science, 2022 Earthquake investigations confirm that un-symmetric buildings suffer more damage than their symmetric counterparts. Torsional vibrations due to irregularity are one of the main factors which cause damage to buildings.

Innovative freedom: design and provision
Economics. Finances. Law, 2022 In the process of the study, based on the generalization of the works of famous scientists, the interdependence of the idea, innovation and financial support was determined. This relationship is due to the following components: creativity of the inventor as a transcendence of the idea; uniqueness of innovation as a sign of rationality, consumption ...

Shear Capacity of Textile-Reinforced Concrete Slabs without Shear Reinforcement
Applied Sciences, 2019 A reliable and economic utilization of textile-reinforced concrete in construction requires appropriate design concepts. Unlike designs for bending, the development of models for shear is still the subject of current research.

Public-Good Provision, Mechanism Design and Voting [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 We study the relation between mechanism design and voting in public-good provision. If incentive mechanisms must satisfy conditions of coalition-proofness and robustness, as well as individual incentive compatibility, the participants' contributions to public-good provision can only depend on the level of the public good that is provided and that level

Assessment of plate-end debonding design provisions for RC beams strengthened with FRP
, 2020 Despite the enhancement in the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members externally strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, debonding of the FRP from the concrete substrate at its ends is a major concern.

Perspective of new technical provisions for buildings in the context of defects of current regulation [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Architectura, 2020 The article portrays the circumstances of the obligation to issue new technical provisions and, based on the example of the current Regulation on the technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location, it presents selected defects of this ...
