A Framing Analysis and Model of Barack Obama in Political Cartoons
<p>This dissertation proposes a typology of the frames that uniquely characterize political cartoons, including first-order, second-order and overarching frames. It then proposes a model of the frame building process in political cartoons based on framing influences, first-order frames, rhetorical …

Deep learning-based surrogate models for post-earthquake damage assessment
… benchmark reinforced concrete (r/c) frame building. In Phase II, a MLP seismic classifier is trained with 6 IMs and 2 structural parameters as inputs to consider both the primary earthquake and structural uncertainties in the portfolio-scale seismic damage assessment of one-story, …

Journalistic strategies in conflict reporting and the representations of ethnic and religious identities in Jos, Nigeria : towards solutions-review journalism
… appropriation of media logics in the conflict frame building process. Relying on three models: objectivity, mediatisation and news framing; the research interrogates the role orientations and performance of journalists who reported the conflict involving the ‘indigenous’ Christians and Hausa …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… the poor performance of one class of existing buildings. Many older buildings were designed prior to the implementation of modern seismic design codes. Although building codes have clearly evolved, the problem is still unresolved for older buildings that are code-deficient such as soft-story …

Performance-Based Analysis of Steel Buildings: Special Concentric Braced Frame
… used to evaluate a special concentric braced frame building based on the design standards in ASCE 7-05. A rectangular, six-story office building was evaluated using linear static, linear dynamic, nonlinear static, and nonlinear dynamic procedures. The results showed that the linear procedures …

Peace under Fire: Building the Media Agenda in Post-Genocide Rwanda
… This study examined the processes of agenda building and frame building in the media from the perspective of Rwandan journalists and media professionals. It further examined the media within the framework of peace journalism. The study used both a qualitative and quantitative approach. A …

Seismic retrofitting of deficient Canadian buildings
… earthquake loading, such as unreinforced masonry buildings, flat slab concrete buildings and steel frame buildings. It then presents the most common retrofitting strategies applicable to low-rise buildings commonly found in major Canadian cities. A case study assessing the performance of hybrid …

A framework towards the design of more sustainable concrete structures
… of this study is the development of a novel framework for the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures which aims at ensuring that future RC structures have the lowest possible carbon footprint, energy use and impact on the environment. The key focus of the study is on structural design …

Column Capacity Evaluation For Low-Rise Moment Frame Steel Buildings In Mississippi Subject To Wind And Seismic Hazards
For the design of steel frame structures, AISC outlines approaches of second-order analysis. In this study, two of these approaches are considered: Amplified First-Order Analysis Method and Direct Analysis Method. The methods were studied using SAP2000. Amplification of moments in a two-story plane …

Estudo da interação solo-estrutura e sua influência em recalques de edificações
… the mechanism of soil-structure interaction in buildings and their influence on the behaviour of them. It makes use of POULOS's formulation (1975a) that considers the building as one system (superstructure plus understructure plus foundation subsoil). A parametric study was made of the main …

Semi-active control of elastic and inelastic building structures with piezoelectric friction dampers
… control to mitigate the seismic responses of building structures with semi-active devices.</p> <p>In this study, a piezoelectric friction damper (PFD) was first introduced with its clamping force regulated by piezoelectric stack actuators. A new semi-active control algorithm, which consists of …

Lightweight plywood construction assembly : a lightweight approach to the elegant utilitarian form
… embraces the combination of sustainability with building production. Today we recognizes that our resources are finite and that careful consideration should be given to the building process. Since ecological concern of materials become one of the foremost issues of today's building industry, For …

Experimental Damage Diagnosis of a Model Three-Story Spatial Frame
… potential damage indices, a three-story metal frame building was constructed. Using Star Modal software, dynamic structural properties were obtained from modal decomposition on experimental tap test responses. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure established an as-built …
