Feedback Control of Multi-Story Structures under Seismic Excitations
… the feedback control of the dynamic response of multi-story structures to seismic excitations. The seismic excitations are represented by arbitrary unknown stochastic disturbances. The research consists of modeling of the structure with a control system and a control design in the state space. A …

Composite Multi-Story Rigid Frames Under Gravity and Lateral Loads.
… presents a procedure for the design of a 12-story rigid frame bent with composite girders when horizontal loads produce the maximum forces for which the girders must be designed. Using an asymmetrical rigid frame with column spacings of 22' and 28', it was found that a decrease in frame …

Innovative accessible sunken floor systems for multi-story steel buildings
… design the accessible sunken floor systems for multi-story steel buildings with proliferating data cables and mechanical equipment. The terminology of an accessible sunken floor system or a dropped floor system is not new. Sunken floor has been used in reinforced concrete buildings with flat …

A space-constrained resource-constrained scheduling system for multi-story buildings
… availability. The research’s domain focuses on multi-story building construction with particular focus on the repetitive portion of the facility (i.e. typical floors). The research studies the issues of work space as a new decision factor for schedule generation in this type of construction. A …

A new space type for multi-story housing : a support design with sectional variations
… variety of space height in a dwelling unit of multi-story housing. This thesis introduces a new space type, named as 'stepped-level' type. The idea of stepped-level type came from the fact that a dwelling is normally composed of two bays. The multi-story housing of the stepped-level type can …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… buildings that are code-deficient such as soft-story wood-frame buildings. Many retrofit procedures have been proposed by the research and structural engineering communities including force-based and performance-based retrofit methodologies. A performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) …

Comparison of LRFD and allowable stress design criteria for the design of multi-story frames
Load and Resistance Factor Design is a set of specifications for the design of steel structures. It is based on a consistent probability of failure and the concept of limit states. The main difference between LRFD and the traditional Allowable Stress Design method is the use of load and resistance …

A Study of the Seismic Performance of Early Multi-Story Steel Frame Structures with Unreinforced Masonry Infill
Steel frame construction with unreinforced masonry infill walls is a common system found in high-rise structures built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Recorded performance of this dual system during seismic events shows that the structures are able to resist a high level of …

Effect of Ground Motion Characteristics on the Seismic Response of Torsionally Coupled Elastic Systems
… of ground motion characteristics, especially its multi-directional character, on the response of torsionally coupled elastic structural systems. The ground motion model is probabilistic and is founded on the assumption of the existence of ground motion principal directions. The structural systems …

Terrace housing : providing quality in higher-density housing
… the forms of housing from low-rise buildings to multistorey apartments. During the last two decades, people in Bangkok have faced problems of living in high-density housing and lack of open space, which limit the quality of living space. Providing better quality of living space above ground must …
