Seismic Response Analyses of the Folded Cantilever Shear Structure: Analytical and Experimental Studies
Abstract The seismic acceleration response of the multistory buildings can be decreased by extending their natural period. In this study a new seismic isolation approach, a folded cantilever shear structure, is proposed to get more seismic...

Strain Reduction and Recovering Method
Abstract A reduction and recovering methods of degree-of-freedom in structural dynamic analysis is proposed. Reduction of degree-of-freedom in structural dynamic analysis could saves computing time and cost for doing the analysis. Therefore, it is...

Behavior of Engineer Constructed Facilities in the Haitian Earthquake of January 12, 2010
Abstract The earthquake in Haiti was rated as Mw=7.0 resulting in a reported 230,000 deaths and over one million in shelters while a comparable U.S earthquake Loma Prieta Mw=7.1 caused 63 deaths and left about 1000 homeless. Many reports have...

Effects of Concrete-to-Reinforcement Bond and Loading Conditions on Tension Stiffening
Abstract Within the tension zone of a cracked reinforced concrete beam, the intact concrete between adjacent cracks is able to sustain certain level of tensile stresses and contribute to the flexural stiffness of the beam. This tension stiffening...

Urbasimce: A dynamic model for assignment and cold start emission
Abstract In an urban setting, the cold engine pollutant emission of vehicles constitutes a important fraction of total pollutant emission. Cold start emission is difficult to estimate, as it depends on the local fraction of vehicles running on cold...

Capacity Drops at Merges: an endogenous model
Abstract The Newell-Daganzo merge model is not only very simple but also accurately reproduces experimental findings. However, the capacity downstream of the merge is an exogenous variable in the model. This is a serious limitation for merges that...

Overview of Maintenance Approaches of Historical Buildings in Kuala Lumpur – A Current Practice
Abstract The conservation of historic buildings is an established method to preserve a heritage structure through restoration and maintenance works. Maintenance has been identified as a key intervention in protecting historic structure by prolonging ...

Using Traffic Information for Time-Dependent Vehicle Routing
Abstract In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of an algorithm for time-dependent vehicle routing problems using real-world traffic information. Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) have been extensively studied in the literature, mostly...

Bearing Capacity Calculation of Rock Foundation based on Nonlinear Failure Criterion
Abstract Conventional foundation bearing capacity calculation is based on Mohr-Coulomb linear failure criterion. But it is verified that almost all kinds of rock's strength envelope is nonlinear with normal stress through tests and is in compliance...
