The current response spectrum method, based on the principle of superposition, is the
principal method for seismic analysis of structures. It has been widely adopted by seismic
design codes all over the world, although ...
The original four buildings at Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey were constructed between 1910 and 1914 along a north-south axis on the western side of the Bosphorus Strait. Sage Hall, the most southerly building is a ...
The architectural concept of the ROLEX LEARNING CENTER in Lausanne envisaged an
architectural landscape which which allows a natural separation of the different zones of use. The resulting structural solutions were not ...

Water covers 70 % of our planet's surface and is vital to its survival, but water is becoming an increasingly rare resource. The conundrum is that the earth's population continues to expand, but the amount of potable water ...
The Theme Hall of The World Expo 2010 Shanghai China consists of four exhibition halls,
and is designed as a large spatial steel moment frame. For resisting the earthquake force, at first steel bracings with great horizontal ...

Shanghai pudong international airport terminal building 2 has total floor area of 400
thousand square meters and constitutes a terminal building, a boarding hall and mass transit stations. Its total length and width are ...
The present study propose a simple procedure to evaluate the seismic risk of the spatial
structures by using grid computing system. As an example for calculating the seismic risk
by using the system, numerical studies ...

Terminal building 2 in Shanghai pudong international airport is a novel hybrid spatial
structure. The upper steel roof and lower reinforced concrete frame are assembled with Yshaped steel columns. Its total length and ...
FUJITA, Shinnosuke; OHSAKI, Makoto(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-01)
A new approach is proposed for shape optimization of shell surfaces, where requirements on the aesthetic aspect and the constructability as well as the structural rationality are simultaneously considered in the problem ...
ROTTER, J. Michael(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-11-25)
Silos and tanks are probably the commonest form of large engineering shell structure in
service, but their placement on industrial sites and out of the public eye often leads them to be neglected by researchers and the ...

The seismic analysis of spatial structure in the last 40 years was developed from the static to the dynamic analysis, from the elastic analysis to the elasto-plastic analysis, from the deterministic to the stochastic ...
Recently various kinds of passive response control techniques are taken into practice for
buildings in seismic areas, and they start affecting on the architectural design itself. These trend affects also on spatial ...
Often a crucial place in glass design is the point of load introduction where a high in-plane
compression load is introduced in the glass. In this case, the common hypothesis that glass fails when the tensile stresses ...
Current analysis tools available to the designing structural engineer do not support the early design stage on a conceptual level, since these tools are mainly aimed at precision rather than flexibility, the generation of ...
OKADA, Hisashi(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2010-01-26)
In this paper, the issue of design load on reduction in the structural design of temporary
spatial structures is discussed using risk analysis tools. In chapter 2, actions due to loads are classified into two categories ...

This is a summary of the keynote lecture in the OS ¿Structural design of temporary spatial
structures¿, organized by IASS WG19. In Chap. 1, temporary spatial structure (TSS) is
defined as a structure, which is used for ...
TARCZEWSKI, Romuald; BOBER, Waldemar(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-12-18)
The paper presents two examples of creative application of structural concrete from the
beginnings of 20th century. Fascinating time of industrial development, emergence of new
trends in the art and social changes opened ...
Many temporary buildings and structures are constructed in the Expo Park, Shanghai as
pavilions and facilities of EXPO2010. New materials and new structural systems are
expected to be used and appear. The structural ...
