Correlating Stiffness and Shear Lag Behavior with Brace Configuration of Tall Truss Tube Buildings
As the height of buildings increases, effect of shear lag also becomes considerable in the design of high rise buildings. In this paper, shear lag effect in tall buildings of heights, i.e., 120, 96, 72, 48 and 36 stories of which aspect ratio ranges from

Crush Syndrome in Earthquakes – Stay and Play or Load and Go?
Earthquakes are unpredictable natural disasters accompanied by material damage and many victims. In the case of a person remaining trapped under the collapsed material, the development of crush syndrome can occur. Crush syndrome is the result of traumatic rhabdomyolysis and is present in 2%-15% of all injured persons in an earthquake. It is not easy to
