Low-Rise Building Wind Load Provisions

Engineering Journal, 1997
The National Standard ASCE 7 was revised and published in January 1996 following many years of study by the Wind Loads Subcommittee of ASCE 7. Contained for the first time are a complete set of provisions for assessing wind loads for the design of low-rise buildings.

Optimization planning of low-rise residential buildings

2016 2nd International Conference on Industrial Engineering, Applications and Manufacturing (ICIEAM), 2016
This paper presents a novel heuristic algorithm to solve the problem of optimal planning low-rise residential buildings. For this problem, many engineering companies try to use efficient methods to reduce costs. Firstly, it is shown that a comprehensive search is only effective on a small number of data.

Seismic Design of Low-Rise Steel Buildings

Journal of the Structural Division, 1979
The behavior of selected low-rise steel buildings subjected to earthquake base motions has been studied, and recommended techniques for the earthquake resistant design of low-rise buildings have been presented. The seismic response of buildings of practical proportions when subjected to seismic response of buildings of practical proportions when ...

Wind pressures acting on low-rise buildings

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1999
Abstract Data gathered from a number of field and laboratory experiments concerned with wind pressures acting on low-rise buildings are reviewed, and selected experimental results are presented in this paper. Particular attention is paid to works related to cladding design.

The significance of cracks in low‐rise buildings

Structural Survey, 2002
This paper suggests a framework for the systematic investigation of cracking in low‐rise buildings. The procedure to follow is described in detail and monitoring equipment is recommended. A data‐gathering and assessment methodology is presented and the important question of whether the cracking is “significant” is considered.

Settlement and tilt of low-rise buildings

Geotechnical Engineering, 2004
Where deep foundations are not an economically viable solution, foundation problems may occur at low-rise housing developments on poor ground. It is usually feasible to provide a raft foundation relatively cheaply for lightly loaded buildings. When differential settlement occurs, foundations of adequate stiffness will cause the building to tilt as a ...

Aerodynamics of low-rise buildings and codification

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1993
Abstract Translating the results obtained in a wind tunnel experiment to load specifications for a Code of Practice needs an intensive cooperation between aerodynamicists and structural engineers. Generally, a pure aerodynamic analysis of only the wind action could not be a sufficient basis for a load specification.

Tree root damage to low rise buildings

Structural Survey, 1983
The abnormally long, dry summers of 1975 and 1976 which resulted in a considerable amount of damage to low rise buildings founded in shrinkable clay subsoils, were largely responsible for highlighting the increased risks of building low rise buildings, such as one‐ and two‐storey housing, on shrinkable clay sites, particularly where trees were present ...
