Energy performance forecasting of residential buildings using fuzzy approaches [PDF]

, 2020
The energy consumption used for domestic purposes in Europe is, to a considerable extent, due to heating and cooling. This energy is produced mostly by burning fossil fuels, which has a high negative environmental impact.

Seismic Fragility Curves of RC Buildings Subjected to Aging

GeoHazards
A large number of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have surpassed their anticipated service life and show signs of degradation due to aging; this degradation is a function of the construction practices adopted in the past as well as ...

Seismic Analysis and Design of a Multi-Storey Building Located in Haql City, KSA [PDF]

Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2017
Recently the design of RC building to mitigate seismic loads has received great attention. Since Saudi Arabia has low to moderate seismicity, most of the buildings were designed only for gravity load.

A Practice-Oriented Procedure for Seismic Reliability Assessment of RC Structures Affected by Carbonation-Induced Degradation

Applied Mechanics, 2021
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Europe have generally been designed without proper consideration of seismic actions and capacity design principles, and thus they tend to be vulnerable to earthquakes.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Seismic behaviour and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures [PDF]

, 2009
The seismic vulnerability associated to existing reinforced concrete buildings, constructed until the late 1970’s, in urban areas of many European countries with moderate to high seismic hazard, is of extreme importance.

Failure Probability-Based Optimal Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Genetic Algorithms

Infrastructures
Artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled several optimization techniques for structural design, including machine learning, evolutionary algorithms, as in the case of genetic algorithms, reinforced learning, deep learning, etc. Although the use of AI for

Speckle‐Engineered Upconversion Amplification in Nanoemulsion‐Templated Hydrogel Microdomes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion‐confined PEGDA microdomes generate speckle‐like excitation fields that strongly amplify upconversion luminescence upon dehydration, enabling filter‐free visible readout with reversible on–off switching. DMD‐based lithography yields scalable, shape‐programmable arrays for moisture‐responsive displays and optical encryption.

Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Buildings in the 22 February Christchurch (Lyttleton) Earthquake [PDF]

, 2011
Six months after the 4 September 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake, a Mw 6.2 Christchurch (Lyttelton) aftershock struck Christchurch on the 22 February 2011.

Upgrading the seismic capacity of existing RC buildings using buckling restrained braces

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2017
Many existing RC buildings do not meet the lateral strength requirements of current seismic codes and are vulnerable to significant damage or collapse in the event of future earthquakes.
