Seismic Design Studies of Low-Rise Steel Frames
In this investigation, the inelastic behavior of low-rise buildings with steel moment-resisting frames providing the lateral resistance for strong ground motions was examined. The inelastic behavior of frames is dependent on several parameters such as design base shear, beam-to-column strength …

Influence of Turbulence on the Aerodynamics of Low-Rise Buildings
… aims to determine the roof pressures acting on low-rise buildings with consideration of the effects of turbulence (terrain). Pressure measurements, as well as wind speed data, were taken at the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory (BLWTL) of the University of Western Ontario (UWO) to examine …

Wind flow characteristics and their effects on low-rise buildings
Two fundamental flow phenomena, the separation bubble (SB) and conical vortex, over the roof (flat and rectangular) of the Texas Tech test building are studied in terms of flow characteristics and pressure-generating mechanisms. Major fmdings contribute to understanding the mechanisms of pressure …

Regionalism and the design of low-rise building envelope systems
… approach to evaluating building envelopes for low-rise affordable housing in urban contexts: construction cost estimating, building performance modeling, and cradle to grave life cycle assessment. Two climate regions were investigated: hot-humid and hot-dry, in two large urban cities: Phoenix …

Wavelet Analysis of Extreme Wind Loads on Low-Rise Structures
… energetic turbulence events in the atmospheric flows. Moreover, we relate these events to the occurrence of extreme negative peak pressures.

Reliability and Redundancy of Low-Rise Steel Buildings Under Seismic Excitation
A uniform-risk redundancy factor is defined in terms of structural reliability. The proposed redundancy factor may be used in a structural design procedure.

Seismic Response of Low -Rise Shear Wall Structures With Flexible Diaphragms
… for higher mode effects are described for low-rise perimeter shear wall structures. The proposed methods are based on the principal modes obtained from a principal components analysis (PCA) of computed inelastic dynamic responses. The method can consider variations in the design response …

The missing middle : understanding low-rise, moderate-density housing in Greater Boston
… the form of single-family homes or mid- and high-rise apartments and condos. This trend has made scarce the kinds of low-rise, moderate-density typologies that had historically provided the dense, compact urbanism necessary to support transit, walkability, and neighborhood retail. Dubbed the …

Analysis, Simulation and Control of Peak Pressure Loads on Low-Rise Structures
… the characteristics of extreme loads on low-rise structures through analysis of full-scale and numerical data. We also use numerical simulations to evaluate different approaches to control the separated flow over a surface-mounted prism with the objective of reducing extreme pressure …

Stability Sensitivity Of Low-Rise Steel-Moment Framed Buildings To Hazard-Independent Damage
… by perturbations to its system. Stability of low-rise steel-moment framed buildings and their sensitivity to perturbations from significant damage are the focus of this work. Perturbations, or changes from the normal state of the structural system, have the ability to affect the structural …

Transformation of the courtyard house--low-rise high density urban housing in Korea
The idea of low-rise high-density urban housing is based on two fundamental objectives: 1) To provide higher density by intensifying land use as urban growth escalates at an unprecedented rate. 2) To reconsider the essential qualities of house - a house with a garden, light and air. Modern …

Layers for communition: low-rise, high density apartments in-between urban and suburban
Housing is one of the most fundamental subjects of architecture, not just for the basic purpose of shelter, but for the place where vitality can be transcended to the people living in them. 'Housing' rather than 'house' marks the intersection between architecture and urban design and the …

Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay
… when professionals investigate a failure to a lowrisebuilding on shrinkable clay; from the preliminary hypothesis that underpinning isdone too often. A body of technical literature exists and is brought under survey so asto isolate those main factors which in the amalgamated view of the leading …

Courtyard housing, a solution for high-density, low-rise single-family housing in the U.S.
This thesis examines the potential application of the L-shaped courtyard house in an American context. Privacy for the dwelling and its grounds is a key issue to be addressed. It is shown than a traditional single-family detached house will provide sufficient privacy on lots of one-quarter acre or …

Study of the domestic open spaces in low-rise dwelling units in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
In the last four decades, Saudi Arabia has undergone rapid urban development. One consequence of this is the emergence of the villa-type dwelling unit as a standard contemporary house design. The domestic open space of each unit is the space surrounding the form of the house. This contemporary …
