Aerodynamic Mitigation of Wind Uplift on Low-Rise Building Roof Using Large-Scale Testing
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 During strong wind events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms, building roofs are subjected to high wind uplift forces (suctions), which often lead to severe roofing component damage and possibly, water intrusion.

Diversity of Decline-Rate-Corrected Type Ia Supernova Rise Times: One Mode or Two? [PDF]
, 2007 B-band light-curve rise times for eight unusually well-observed nearby Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are fitted by a newly developed template-building algorithm, using light-curve functions that are smooth, flexible, and free of potential bias from externally

LES Analysis of the Effect of Snowdrift on Wind Pressure on a Low-Rise Building
Buildings, 2022 This paper presents a comparative study of the distribution of wind pressure acting on a low-rise building roof with or without snowdrift through the Large-Eddy simulation (LES) method. Firstly, based on previous wind-blowing snow experiments, the stable

Deformations of low-rise buildings and structures [PDF]
Bases and Foundations, 2019 On the example of low-rise building of the city of Chernihiv deformations of stone and wooden buildings and structures are considered. The engineering-geological specialties of research sites are investigated. With insufficient practical experience in building buildings under dense constructions, there may be negative factors, in particular, cracks in ...
