Besides static failure, fatigue life (or fatigue failure) is an important design criterion for the safety of mechanical and building structures.
Fig. 1 Distribution of the mechanical parameters of the 141 building structures as a function of their fundamental period (s): a yielding displacement d y (m); b ductility ratio d u/d y.
The aim of the investigation was to determine the mechanical characteristics which are essential for the seismic analysis of modern low-energy building structures, where XPS boards are used as a thermal insulation layer beneath the building's foundations.
The findings, even though developed with specific reference to civil building structures, provide useful insight also for the effective addition of viscous dampers in mechanical dynamic systems (of similar characteristics) when excited at the base.
Due to its superior mechanical properties, the UHPFRC has been successfully applied in the construction of bridges and also used for retrofitting and strengthening existing concrete structures in building structures (Alaee and Karihaloo 2003; Meda et al. 2014).
Various building structures were investigated.
Additionally, the airport complex has a fire station equipped with three fire trucks, a maintenance building, a mechanical building and an administrative building.
In real structural systems, such as a building structure or a mechanical system, due to inherent structural modeling approximations and errors, and changeable and unpredictable environmental loads, the structural response unavoidably involves uncertainties.
Original building structure and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) drawings are the very basic information needed for understanding what the building materials are, where they are and their quantities.
It is shown that the use of Fourier transform in mathematical models cannot provide mathematical sufficiency display for a project to investigate the response of a building structure on mechanical shock loads.
