Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, EarlyView.
Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.

Seismic zoning of urban areas considering the effect of physical conditions using Fuzzy logic theory: case study of Tehran’s 7th region [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018
One of the most important steps in designing seismic rehabilitation programs for urban areas in metropolises is determining the region’s risk level. There is no doubt of cast that the implementation of a seamless seismic rehabilitation program can secure

For the Few, Not the Many: Tracing the Residualist and Compensatory Nature of British Energy Support

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on extensive documentary analysis, this article traces the evolution of British energy policy support since World War II. It analyses shifts in policy design through two interpretive lenses: eligibility (residualist vs. universalist) and function (compensatory vs. preventive).

Application of association rules to determine building typological classes for seismic damage predictions at regional scale. The case study of Basel [PDF]

, 2019
Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of
