For response spectra analyses it is shown that the “design of elements for 100 percent of the prescribed seismic forces in one direction plus 30 or 40 percent of the prescribed forces applied in the perpendicular direction” is dependent on the user's selection of the reference system. These commonly used “percentage combination rules” have no theoretical basis and can underestimate the design forces in certain members and can produce a member design which is relatively weak in one direction. It is proven that the alternate code approved method, in which a SRSS combination of two 100 percent spectra analyses with respect to any user defined orthogonal axes, will produce design forces which are not a function of the reference system and results in a structural design which has equal resistance to seismic motions from all directions.

Ambient Vibration Measurements

In most current building codes, seismic design of non-structural components (NSCs) is addressed through empirical equations that do not capture NSC response amplification due to tuning effects with higher and torsional modes of buildings and that neglect NSC damping. This work addresses these shortcomings and proposes a practical approach to generate acceleration NSC floor design spectra (FDS) in buildings directly from their corresponding uniform hazard spectra (UHS). The study is based on the linear seismic analysis of 27 reinforced concrete buildings located in Montréal, Canada, for which ambient vibration measurements (AVM) are used to determine their in situ three-dimensional dynamic characteristics. Pseudo acceleration floor response spectra (PA-FRS) are derived at every building floor for four different NSCs damping ratios. The calculated roof FRS are compared with the 5% damped UHS and a formulation is proposed to generate roof FDS for NSCs with 5% damping directly from the UHS.

This paper consists of the work made on the study of seismic analysis on the multi-storied building by maintaining same floor area for all four different plan configurations. To make the analysis of these different four plan configurations, the modelling is done prior in the ETABS:2016 (Extended Three-Dimensional analysis of building system). An effort is made by providing all the load combinations and the performance of each plan is analysed individually and the comparison is made between symmetrically and asymmetrically plan configurations by keeping the floor area constant. After completion of the analysis, the comparison of storey displacement, base shear and storey drift is made and conclude that the symmetrical plans are superior when compared to asymmetrical plans in the view of the resistance against the seismic forces. Further the expansions joints are to be provided in the asymmetrical plans to ensure the safety against the seismic forces.

Based on the tool of the ANSYS Workbench software, the modeling of three-dimensional Entity, meshing and dealing of loads and constraints has been done on the pipelayer’boom. According to the finite element analysis of pipelayer’boom in three basic conditions by the parameter of width, height and thickness, the material consumption of making boom is significantly reduced. All this is done in the premise of ensuring the safety of pipelayer’ boom with the objective of minimizing the quality by the finite element optimization. And the results will be the theoretical basis of the design and improvement of Pipelayer’ boom.

This paper presents a first approximation of the seismic vulnerability of a sixteenth century building which is part of the historical center of Morelia, Mexico. The city was declared World Heritage by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1991. The modeling and analysis of the building was carried out using a three-dimensional elastic tetrahedral finite elements model which was subjected to probabilistic seismic demands with recurrences of 500 yrs and 1000 yrs in addition to real seismic records. The model was able to correctly identify cracking pattern in different parts of the temple due to gravitational forces. High seismic vulnerability of the arched window and the walls of the middle part of the bell tower of the temple was indicated by the seismic analysis of the model.

Near-wall microenvironment of a building refers to parameters such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation near the building’s façade, etc. The distribution of these parameters on the building façade shows a certain variation based on changes in height. As a technology of passive heating and ventilation, the effectiveness of this application on heat collection wall is significantly affected by the near-wall microclimate, which is manifested by the differences, and rules of the thermal process of the components present at different elevations. To explore the feasibility and specificity of this application of heat collection wall in high-rise buildings, this study uses three typical high-rise buildings from Zhengzhou, China, as research buildings. Periodic measurements of the near-wall microclimate during winter and summer were carried out, and the changing rules of vertical and horizontal microclimate were discussed in detail. Later, by combining these measured data with numerical method, thermal process and performance of heat collection wall based on increasing altitude were quantitatively analyzed through numerical calculations, and the optimum scheme for heat collection wall components was summarized to provide a theoretical basis for the structural design of heat-collecting wall in high-rise buildings.

The oat β-glucan (OG) was added into set-type yogurt as a functional ingredient, in order to evaluate effects on the rheological characteristics and microstructure of set-type yogurt. When the OG concentration increased from 0 to 0.3%, the WHC gradually increased. At 0.3% OG, the set-type yogurt had the highest WHC of 94.67%. Additionally, the WHC continuously decreased, reaching the lowest WHC (about 80%) at 0.5% OG. When 0.3% OG was added, the highest score of sensory evaluation was about 85. The rheological result showed that the fermentation process went through the changes as follows: solid → liquid → solid → liquid. The addition of 0.3% OG decreased the fermentation time of set-type yogurt by about 16 min, making yogurt more inclined to be liquid. The acidity of set-type yogurt with OG was slightly higher. The result of microstructure showed that the addition of OG destroyed the three-dimensional network structure of yogurt, and some spherical aggregate particles could be clearly observed at 0.3% OG. Overall, this study provided a theoretical basis for the application of OG in set-type yogurt.
