STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE ON HISTORIC BUILDING RESTORATION

Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016
The restoration of historic buildings requires a comprehensive approach through a collaborative effort, as well as multi-disciplinary professionals. According to the general conservative guidelines of the Venice Charter of 1964 and the ICOMOS/ISCARSAH Recommendations for the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage of 2003 ...

A review of progressive collapse research and regulations [PDF]

, 2014
History has demonstrated that buildings designed to conventional design codes can lack the robustness necessary to withstand localised damage, partial or even complete collapse. This variable performance has led governmental organisations to seek ways of

Comparative Carbon-Footprint Analysis of Residential Buildings with Different Structural Materials

, 2022
An important step towards achieving sustainability goals in the construction sector is taken by developing solutions that adopt ‘greener’ structural materials for buildings. This paper establishes a comparison among four existing residential buildings in

A noniterative design procedure for supplemental brace–damper systems in single-degree-of-freedom systems [PDF]

, 2013
In this paper, a method for designing supplemental brace–damper systems in single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structures is presented. We include the effects of the supporting brace stiffness in the dynamic response by using a viscoelastic Maxwell model. On

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Robustness of steel framed buildings [PDF]

, 2006
Since the catastrophic failures of the twin towers at the World Trade Centre, avoidance of progressive collapse has become a major concern of designers of multi-storey buildings.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Complexity in Designing Energy Efficient Buildings: Towards Understanding Decision Networks in Design [PDF]

, 2015
Most important decisions for designing energy efficient buildings are made in the early stages of design. Designing is a complex interdisciplinary task, and energy efficiency requirements are pushing boundaries even further. This study analyzes the level

Common Structural Details and Deficiencies in Indonesian RC Buildings: Preliminary Report on Field Investigation in Padang City, West Sumatra [PDF]

, 2018
Significant damage to reinforced concrete buildings by the 2009 Western Sumatera Earthquake revealed that deficiencies in design engineering and/or construction practice existed. This indicated that enforcement of building design codes was lacking.
