Nostalgic Neighbors: Engaging the Single-Story of Wholesomeness
… connection with others. As an Illustrator and Storyteller, I carry a responsibility for depicting a way that the world may be remembered. When our stories paint only a picture of a triumphant and moral people we do not only a disservice to the struggles of those same people, but also to the …

Complicating the Single Story: A Visual Analysis of Images of Forced Migrants
… in projects aimed at challenging the single story of forced migrant experience? This project is framed by theories of cultural studies and critical pedagogy with respect to representation and how encounters with creative works can lead to imagining alternative possibilities. Situated …

Experimental and numerical investigation of modular steel bridges
… conditions. It also involved testing a 45-meter single-story double-truss bridge under failure loads, a reinforced version of the same bridge under both service and ultimate conditions, and a working load test on a double-story bridge. The tested bridges and specimens were instrumented with LVDTs …

Effect of Ground Motion Characteristics on the Seismic Response of Torsionally Coupled Elastic Systems
… The structural systems considered are single-story and multi-story elastic shear beam models with stiffness eccentricity.

Wind- Chimney (Integrating the Principles of a Wind-Catcher and a Solar-Chimney to Provide Natural Ventilation)
… integrated with a solar-chimney in a single story building so that the resident might benefit from natural ventilation, a passive cooling system, and heating strategies; it would also help to decrease energy use, CO2 emissions, and pollution. This system is able to remove undesirable …

Assessment of seismic design provisions for multi-tiered ordinary concentrically braced frames
… used as lateral force resisting systems in tall single-story buildings such as performing arts and sports centers, industrial warehouses, and airplane hangars. Horizontal members (struts) are used to divide the tall single-story into several bracing panels or tiers, without intermediate floors or …

Population policy and urban housing in China
… This complex, transformed from the traditional single story courtyard house, becomes one big house, where all neighbors live under one roof as one big family. As a consequence, children in a one child family still have the same feeling of multi generations living together as their old …

Performance of snug tight bolts in moment end-plate connections
… bolts in moment end-plate connections for use in single story buildings. Wind loading was deemed to be the critical loading on snug tight bolt, moment end-plate connections. A test loading sequence was established based on a statistical analysis of the 50-year wind loading on low rise buildings. …

A Protocol to Determine the Performance of South Facing Double Glass Façade System-A Preliminary Study of Active/Passive Double Glass Façade Systems
… to an experimental study of a south-facing, single story double glazed ventilated wall system. Two modular full-scale double glazed window models with naturally or mechanically assisted ventilation were constructed and monitored for a range of weather conditions. The goals of this …

Application of the Finite Element Method to the Seismic Design and Analysis of Large Moment End-Plate Connections
… and design procedures inadequate for multi-story buildings. This dissertation first examines and critiques current seismic design philosophies as applied to moment end-plate connections. Next, the finite element method is used to develop much-needed design procedures for large moment …

Application of mass/stiffness eccentricity to control response of structures subjected to earthquake ground motion
… were used for this study. Discrete models are single story building and multi story building, and continuous models are shear beam and flexural beam. Initially, the steady state behavior of eccentric structures was analyzed. This type of analysis proved to be revealing in terms of parameters …

Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Shear Strength of Unstiffened Tapered Steel Members
Tapered beams and columns are often used in single story gable framed steel buildings for reasons of economy. By varying the resistance to bending in similar proportion to the bending moments, more economical structures can be obtained. The beam and column connection, or knee area, is generally …

Paleoenvironmental Variability across the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary in the Alberta Foreland Basin, as Interpreted from Fluvial Deposits and Paleosols, Red Deer River Valley, Alberta, Canada.
… to foreland orogenesis. The depositional history records an evolution from amalgamated, multi-story, braided sand bodies to accretionary, single-story, overbank-prone meandering deposits. The distribution of paleosols throughout the section is also cyclic. Immature, well-drained paleosols …

Towards a Better Understanding of the Fundamental Period of Metal Building Systems
… work, further tests were carried out in order to single out possible causes. Buildings were tested during different stages of construction to evaluate how non-structural elements could affect the behavior. Both planar and three-dimensional models were developed to determine if design assumptions …

Experimental and analytical investigation of the LRFD strength of tapered members
Single story, rigid gable frames are commonly used by the metal building industry for light, industrial buildings. These rigid gable frames are usually constructed of built-up, web tapered, columns and rafters for reasons of economy. The tapering of the webs optimizes the members to develop a …

Structural engineering for northern Pakistan : indigenous architecture and earthquake resistance
… the main structural concern, and the behavior of single story, masonry buildings under seismic loads was investigated. Houses constructed from reinforced stone masonry with a timber roofing system were selected as the most appropriate technology for the region. Processes to quantify the necessary …

Sensitivity Study on Modification of Vertical Distribution of Strength and Stiffness in Wood Shear Wall Building Models
… a numerical study of the influence of varying story strength on the seismic performance of multi-story wood-frame shear wall buildings. In the prior FEMA P695 studies of these buildings, the non-simulated collapse limit-state was exceeded primarily in the first story. This observation raised …

Palmnameh : the epic of the palm tree in Los Angeles
… is when the myth references only a single story, whereas collapsed representation allows the myth to reference multiple stories. This shift is a new approach on reading the city's history, creating an alternative mythology. By using an aesthetic of Persian miniatures, the thesis …
