Seismic performance evaluation of high-rise steel buildings dependent on wind exposures

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
The lateral load-resisting system of high-rise buildings in regions of low and moderate seismicity and strong wind such as the typhoon in the Korean peninsula considers the wind load as the governed lateral force so that the practical structural engineer

Reinforced Sandy Piles for Low-rise Buildings

Procedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractAt present a number of techniques for artificial strengthening weak foundation soils have been developed and implemented, most of them having poor efficiency due to expensive materials and equipment used. Therefore, studying and developing new ways to improve soil bearing capacity is an urgent task.
