Designer Protein-Based Performance Materials [PDF]
Biomacromolecules, 2006 Repeat sequence protein polymer (RSPP) technology provides a platform to design and make protein-based performance polymers and represents the best nature has to offer. We report here that the RSPP platform is a novel approach to produce functional protein polymers that have both biomechanical and biofunctional blocks built into one molecule by design,

Performative Design: A Performance-Based Model of Digital Architectural Design [PDF]
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2009 Though design for building performance is traditionally considered an evaluative act, current developments in the theory and technology of digital design are promoting new directions for performance-based models of design. This paper presents a theoretical basis for understanding the current shift in performance-based design and proposes a model of ...

Seismic Performance of Special Structural Walls Using Overlapping Hoops Instead of Closed Hoops
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2019 In this study repeated cyclic loading tests were carried out on seven shear wall specimens, which were fabricated in a real scale. The purpose of these experiments is to investigate the difference on the seismic performance of the wall depending on two ...

Performance-Based Structural Fire Engineering of Steel Building Structures: Traveling Fires
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022 Many studies and observations of large building fires show that in large compartments, fires do not burn uniformly. Rather, fires will burn locally and move across a floor plate as fuel is consumed.
