He said he hoped Mr. Kancharla's sentence would be a deterrent to the "variety of schemes and conniving" that he said characterized the building business.
Both a well-designed on-board monitoring campaign and an adequate data-driven statistical modeling method are required to accurately characterize the building's overall heat transfer coefficient (HTC).
To characterize the buildings by construction type and construction epoch, geolocated data from the Portuguese 2011 census were acquired from the Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE 2011).
The building was re-designed with a nod to the Art Deco style that characterized the original building.
Probabilistic Seismic Demand Analysis (PSDA) characterizes the response of buildings and other structures to the full range of future ground motions expected at a structure's site, and is widely used in research and practice.
A fundamental question for artificial intelligence is to characterize the computational building blocks that are necessary for cognition.
To achieve these large reductions in computational time, the model discretises the ground-borne vibration in the free field into a frequency range corresponding to the modes that characterize the dynamic building response.
This framework extends the Virtual Factory Framework (VFF), outcome of a European research project, by characterizing the industrial building and considering energy and environmental sustainability of the factory during its lifecycle.
The methodology aims at (i) quantifying the impact of climate change on the overheating risk, (ii) ranking and characterizing the various building types in terms of their overheating risk and sensitivity to climate change, and (iii) assessing the potential of ventilative cooling to mitigate the effects of climate change.
At the base of the formal choices is the use of reinforced concrete, a "new" construction technology: if the use of this material was a valuable tool for the formal renovation in architecture, it is true that it is, at the same time, the second cause of the vulnerability that characterizes the buildings belonging to the Italian Rationalism.
These cultures were characterized by the building of substantial lodges, the coalescence of hamlets into concentrated villages, and the development of elaborate rituals and religious practices.
