Abstract:
he structure is the backbone of building. Construction of the multi‐storey building is quickly increasing throughout the globe. Advances in construction technology, materials, structural systems, and analysis and design software package expedited the expansion of those buildings. Diagrid buildings square measure rising as structurally economical furthermore as architecturally important assemblies for tall buildings. The diagrid structural system may be outlined as a diagonal member shaped as a framework created by the intersection of various materials like metals, concrete or wood beams that are used in the construction of buildings and roofs. Diagrid structures of the steel members are efficient in providing a solution both in term of strength and stiffness. In my thesis work study the safety and minimum harm level of a structure may well be the prime demand of high-rise buildings.

Abstract:
City image includes people's perceptions of the built and natural environments as well as the emotions and ideas the city arouses in them. In the city image, the preservation of the buildings, especially historical buildings, which carry the past cultures, meaning and structural features of the city to the present day, can be ensured by making these buildings visible and perceptible by the inhabitants. Historical buildings' visibility can facilitate the recognition and appreciation of their historical significance, thereby contributing to the preservation of the city's cultural heritage. This study aims to analyse the visibility of a historical building that holds a significant place in the urban memory and to suggest recommendations for enhancing its visibility. In this context, the viewpoints used to examine the İskenderun Beş Temmuz Primary School Historical Building’s visibility were specified by space syntax visibility graph analysis (VGA). Subsequently, the building's visibility in three different historical periods was determined by the isovists technique, utilizing these viewpoints. Based on the same viewpoints, an observational field study and a survey applied to 47 people were conducted. Consequently, it was identified that the historical building could not be sufficiently seen due to the presence of surrounding service structures, perimeter walls, and high buildings. Furthermore, this study proposed the removal of additional structures that negatively affect historical building's visibility. Additionally, a design approach was developed for new buildings and landscaping to enhance the historical building's visibility, and the efficacy of the proposed design was evaluated through isovists and VGA analyses.

Abstract:
Abstract Today’s cities are developing at a breakneck pace, resulting in physical modifications to buildings. This growth can also be witnessed in the presence of new structures designed to house city-related operations. This research was conducted in the corridor area of Surabaya’s Karet Street, a historical district. Numerous historical structures may be seen along Karet Street, including surviving colonial and Chinese-style structures. Historically, this Karet Street corridor region served as a commerce hub due to its proximity to the Kali Mas (Mas River) trade route. However, as the era progressed, the buildings in the corridor of Karet Street became abandoned, many were neglected, and other structures were added, resulting in inconsistency between buildings. Thus, this research aimed to characterize the building facade components along the Karet Street corridor. The research technique used was descriptive qualitative research. Sixty-two structures along the Karet Street corridor comprise the sampled area. The factors consisted of the building’s door/entrance, windows, walls, roof, and the stylef the building—a qualitative descriptive analysis based on the state of the building’s facade in the field. Direct observation, existing literature, and documentation were employed to obtain data. The study’s findings revealed inconsistencies in the building’s exterior components, particularly in the structure’s modern style. In an area that contains colonial and Chinese-style buildings, this contradiction might undermine the area’s historical assets. Additionally, modifications and damage to facade components might obliterate the authenticity of existing historical value.

Abstract:
Buildings in Europe, account for about 20–40% of total final energy consumption. Therefore reduction of energy demand is crucial. It has become one of the most important issues to achieve energy saving at installations and refurbishments of buildings. Humidity in the wall structure of buildings produced by precipitate and other circumstances could modify the building’s heat capacity, the heat transfer coefficient furthermore density and/or other factors. In this study, wall structures of buildings with nearly zero net energy consumption were examined that were built from different materials with different moisture load. By applying different experiments and calculations we presented the changes of the stored heat energy of different wall structures in relation to the duration of the wetting time. The external wall of the building is the interface between the interior of the building and the outdoor environment. From the perspective of sorption and heat capacity, knowledge of the behavior of structures in relation to their moisture content, can help us to select the perfect type of wall. We have found three major traits peculiar to the change in the stored heat of different building structures in relation to the moisture load.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper brings to attention the industrial buildings from the 1900s through two case studies of high-rise buildings for the period in which they were built. The study is done by analyzing the resistance structure of two buildings built around the 1880s and their behavior over time. The destiny of these very valuable buildings from a historical, architectural and structural point of view is regarded as a motivation for the authors for the elaboration of the present paper. One of the studied buildings has been dismantled, while for the second one, the owners are allocating funding for structural rehabilitation in order to maintain it, in parallel with the re-conversion, modernization and expansion of the building. For valuable buildings and historic monument buildings, maintenance activity is particularly important in order to prevent structural degradation. It is especially important to pass on the historical legacy to future generations, therefore its structural strengthening and rehabilitation must take precedence over financial implications.

Abstract:
In the conditions of rapid scientific and technological progress, the technologies development pace of designing buildings and structures began to outstrip the practical application of them in the domestic market in comparison with the countries of the western world. Ukrainian building design tools have ceased to be internationally competitive. In these circumstances, it is especially important to introduce new and improve existing methods and tools for modeling buildings and structures. An important task for a modern designer is the ability to use a computer model at various stages of the building's life cycle, namely: design, construction, operation. To solve this problem, one can apply a new design method - Building Information Modeling (BIM). The purpose of this research is to explore the possibilities of using information modeling technologies for buildings as a means of their life cycle managing. The scientific and practical importance of the work stands in the possibility of introducing of information modeling technologies of buildings not only as a new design method, but also as a means of managing of the life cycle of the building at all its stages. The results of the research are based on the analysis of literary sources and practical experience of the authors. The article revealed the possibility usage of building information modeling as means of managing of the life cycle of building and structures. There is considered options and the main problems of information modeling application on different stages of buildings life cycle. In this paper, the main functions of building information modeling, which are necessary for managing of the life cycle of buildings and structures, have been analyzed and formulated. The practical importance of the results of this paper is in the presentation of the proposed functions and development prospects of building information modeling tools.

Abstract:
The article provides an analysis of existing computational practices for solving the problems of survivability of structures of buildings and structures. The issues of progressive collapse of buildings under the influence of seismic loads are considered separately. It is noted that in order to ensure the reliability of the structures of buildings and structures under special impacts, it is necessary to have a clear regulation in the system of regulatory documentation of the Russian Federation. Most calculations for progressive collapse are made for frame buildings. In this paper, one of the approaches to solving the problem of survivability is proposed on the example of calculating a multi-storey building of a wall structural system for progressive collapse with a sequential failure of the most loaded walls of the first floor. The change in the stress-strain state of the building's load-bearing structures with successive failure of the walls of the first floor at each stage of the calculation is shown.

Abstract:
Architecture in life is the light of the culture in any society and closely relates with historical, political, economic and social aspects of the society. Persian architecture and building construction should be properly examined from the depths of the history of this ancient land. Persian architecture goes back to six centuries before Christ and it has over 6000 years of continuous history. Since then ever, architecture has been related to various issues, especially religious, and has developed and evolved for centuries. Persian architecture has features that in comparison with other countries are of particular value. Properties such as good design, precise calculations, the correct form of coverage, compliance with technical and scientific issues in the building, high balconies, tall pillars and the various decorations that each of them represent the magnificent of Persian architecture. This study assumes that architecture and building construction are the full manifestation of human culture, and focus on some of the important elements in traditional Persian architecture: windwards, traditional refrigerators and foundations.

Abstract:
The amount of total and relative sway of a framed or a composite (frame-shear wall) building is of utmost importance in assessing the seismic resistance of the building. Therefore, the design engineer must calculate the sway profile of the building several times during the design process. However, it is not a simple task to calculate the sway of a three-dimensional structure. Of course, computer programs can do the job, but developing the three-dimensional model becomes necessary, which is obviously tedious and time consuming. An easy to apply analytical method is developed, which enables the determination of sway profiles of framed and composite buildings subject to seismic loading. Various framed and composite three-dimensional buildings subject to lateral seismic loads are solved by SAP2000 and the proposed analytical method. The sway profiles are compared and found to be in very good agreement. In most cases, the amount of error involved is less than 5 %. The analytical method is applied to determine sway magnitudes at any desired elevation of the building, the relative sway between two consecutive floors, the slope at any desired point along the height and the curvature distribution of the building from foundation to roof level. After sway and sway-related properties are known, the requirements of the Turkish Earthquake Code can be evaluated and / or checked. By using the analytical method, the amount of shear walls necessary to satisfy Turkish Earthquake Code requirements are determined. Thus, a vital design question has been answered, which up till present time, could only be met by rough empirical guidelines. A mathematical derivation is presented to satisfy the strength requirement of a three-dimensional composite building subject to seismic loading. Thus, the occurrence of shear failure before moment failure in the building is securely avoided. A design procedure is developed to satisfy the stiffness requirement of composite buildings subject to lateral seismic loading. Some useful tools, such as executable user-friendly programs written by using &ldquo
Borland Delphi&rdquo
, have been developed to make the analysis and design easy for the engineer. A method is also developed to satisfy the ductility requirement of composite buildings subject to lateral seismic loading based on a plastic analysis. The commonly accepted sway ductility of &

&
#916
=5 has been used and successful seismic energy dissipation is thus obtained.

Abstract:
This research is a fundamental step towards intelligent building structures with load sensing characteristics. It is argued, with evidence from industry leaders, that these will become ubiquitous. It draws inspiration from developments in structural health monitoring of infrastructure projects. It addresses the current gap between the intellectual effort spent by design teams to conceive building structures that satisfy client brief and informational lacunae on the performance of the building structures. This gap restricts opportunities to adapt buildings in future investment cycles. The research poses a challenge: ‘can a novel system be implemented in a building structure to allow real-time monitoring of the performance of key structural elements?’ effectively moving towards intelligent, adaptable buildings. Infrastructure projects which had structural health monitoring systems implemented to monitor and mitigate damage are reviewed. These served as analogues on how to harness data acquired by sensors, transfer them to the building management system and inform decision making. The hypothesis that there is a need to incorporate smart sensors in building structures was put to the test in interviews with thirty business leaders in the construction industry. These interviews identified key attributes that needed to be satisfied by the sensors. Novel stress sensors based on nanocomposite polymer films were explored and tested in laboratory-based experiments both under short-term and long-term loading. The sensitivity of the sensors to a change in load was assessed. Scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy were carried out to assess the characteristics of the sensors. A novel stress sensor, based on a carbon nanotube/polycarboxylate polymer film sandwiched between cement grout layers, was found to be the most sensitive to change in electrical resistance measured when the imposed load was changed. A gauge factor two orders of magnitude greater than the highest factor reported to date on research on stress sensors was determined. This research prepares the ground and maps out the strategic and tactical challenges that are needed to arrive at operational, long timescale, load sensing for buildings.

Abstract:
Following the evolution of a damage avoidance design (DAD) frame system, with rocking beam-column joints, at the University of Canterbury, analytical studies are carried out to evaluate the performance of proposed structures, and verify the proposed design methodology. A probabilistic seismic risk assessment methodology is proposed, from which the expected annualised financial loss (EAL) of a structure can be calculated. EAL provides a consistent basis for comparison of DAD frame systems with state-of-practice ductile monolithic construction. Such comparison illustrates the superior performance of DAD frame systems. The proposed probabilistic seismic assessment methodology requires the response of the structure to be evaluated over a range of seismic intensities. This can be achieved by carrying out an incremental dynamic analysis, explicitly considering seismic randomness and uncertainty; or from a pushover analysis, and assuming an appropriate value of the dispersion. By combining this information with the seismic hazard, probabilistic response curves can be derived, which when combined with information about damage states for the particular structure, can be transformed into 'resilience curves'. Integration of information regarding the financial loss occurring due to each of the damage states, results in an estimate of EAL.

Abstract:
Preservationists and historic sites managers need to be aware of the affects of excess man-made vibrations on historic structures. The purpose of this creative project is to examine those affects and identify some methods to mitigate them. To write this project, it was necessary to search through available literature identifying past research and studies on this subject. Research was culled from various sources examining the affects of vibrations on new and historic structures and are presented here in one volume.The affects of vibrations on historic structures is not a subject that is well represented in preservation or structural engineering literature. The information currently available is scattered through various sources. Thus, there is the lack of a single reference examining the affects of vibrations on historic structures. This project is meant to be used as a reference for historic preservationists, house museum curators, and historic sites managers who seek information about vibration effects and possible solutions to their vibration problem.

Abstract:
The true strength and deflection behaviour of industrial and commercial steel portal frame buildings is understood better if the effects of stiffness of end frames and profiled steel claddings are included. The conventional designs ignore these effects and are very much based on an idealised twodimensional frame behaviour. This thesis describes an investigation into the three-dimensional behaviour of steel portal frame buildings using computer modelling and full scale tests. The full scale tests of a 12 m x 12 m clad and unclad steel portal frame building with true pinned and standard (normal) bases were conducted under a range of design load cases which indicated that the observed deflections and bending moments in the portal frames were considerably different to those obtained from a two-dimensional analysis of frames ignoring the effects of cladding and end frame rigidity. Three dimensional analyses of the same building including these effects using the "equivalent truss member'' theory were carried out and the results agreed well with full scale test results. The cladding flexibility coefficient required for this computer analysis was obtained from shear tests of 6 m x 6 m crest-fixed trapezoidal steel claddings. In both full scale tests and computer modelling, the stiffness of cladding and end frames had a significant influence on moments and deflections of the portal frames when Cross Wind load was considered. For the tested frame these effects were equivalent to stiffening the column bases from pinned to fixed conditions. However, for Longitudinal Wind and Live Loads, the results showed that buildings with a flat roof slope (in this case 5° ) will not gain from the presence of claddings and the differences in maximum moment and deflections are insignificant when cladding action and rigidity of end frame are considered. In the design of the common industrial and commercial buildings, Cross Wind load is the governing load case. Therefore it is important that the significant effects observed due to the presence of cladding and end frame rigidity be taken into account in the analysis and design of these buildings. There was a noticeable load transfer from the central frame to the gable frame when claddings and end frame bracing were added to the building considered in the full scale tests and three-dimensional computer analysis. This increased the moments on the end gable frame, but decreased the higher moments on the central frame, leading to a more balanced moment and deflection distribution among these frames. It is expected that such a three dimensional analysis and design method will lead to lighter steel frames as the maximum moments are reduced. Therefore this method which is based on the true building behaviour is recommended for Cross Wind loads. This design method as well as recent advances in the use of higher strength materials, can lead to buildings with more slender members, larger spans and thus larger deflections. As a result, unlike in the past, deflection criteria may become more critical than strength and increasing the member sizes is not always the best solution for limiting such problems. For this purpose the use of appropriate deflection limits and a better understanding of the true deflection behaviour of the buildings are important. This investigation has shown that choosing the location of the points where the deflection is to be limited is more important than limiting maximum deflections for the whole building. Serviceability problems usually do not appear in members such as columns or rafters, instead they appear in panels such as walls, partitions, ceilings and claddings. In order to eliminate serviceability problems in the buildings it is then necessary to consider the "Characteristic panel" concept developed by the author of this thesis. As a result, it is important from a serviceability point of view not to limit the maximum horizontal and vertical deflections in portal frames buildings, but to consider appropriate characteristic panels in the buildings and analysing their relative deflections to limit their specific deformations.

Abstract:
AbstractHigh-rise timber building construction is becoming increasingly common across the world as construction and woodworking technology advances. The world is moving toward more sustainable development, and products like cross-laminated timber offer economical options for reducing the environmental impact. This chapter contributes to the theory and practice of sustainability assessment and extends the knowledge about high-rise timber buildings. The tallest timber buildings in different countries, such as Mjøstårnet and Treet in Norway and Brock Commons in Canada, are compared across the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social). According to previous research, none of the buildings are at the top in terms of sustainability, but the Brock Commons building in Canada has received the highest rank in all dimensions of sustainability. The issue of fire resistance for timber structures involves a paradox because it is widely recognized that heavy timber construction has outstanding fire resistance in severe fires. Design for burnout may require full or partial encapsulation of timber. Moreover, prefabrication of elements reduces duration and cost of projects. The goal of this chapter is to evaluate and assess the most effective modern high-rise timber buildings from both financial and environmental perspectives.

Abstract:
Most of the existing buidnings, which dont fulfill the curent seismic requirement, may suffer extensive damage or even collapse in severe eartquake. This paper analyses some recommendations for the inspection and assessment of the condition of concrete buildings after an earthquake. Some damage classifications and their impact on the safety and usability of buildings are commented. It also includes literature/sources from countries that are often affected by strong earthquakes, USA, Japan; India, Turkey and others. Recommendations for the evaluation of buildings that were not designed according to current regulations were analysed. Seismic energy dissipation, during the main and aftershocks of the earthquake, was analyzed on the example of the multi-story RC building. Based on the review of the literature and the aforementioned analyses, some recommendations for evaluation are listed as a basis for making a decision on rehabilitation and/or strengthening of building, or their removal.

Abstract:
The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. Fort Gordon is located in northeast Georgia, directly west of Augusta-Richmond. It was first established as Camp Gordon during WWII for infantry and armor training. It has been known as Fort Gordon since 1956. This report provides historic context and recommends eligibility determinations for 24 buildings, structures, and landscapes associated with the Gordon Lakes Golf Club constructed between 1975 and 2009. The report recommends two Real Property landscapes (the Golf Driving Range and 18-Hole Golf Course including Gordon Lake) and one structure (Gordon Lake Dam) are eligible for the NRHP. The other 21 buildings and structures are recommended Not Eligible. Consulting with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Officer, this work fulfills Section 110 requirements for these buildings, structures, and landscapes.

Abstract:
All structures in Switzerland - that is, all buildings, roads, infrastructure constructions and so on - consume over their entire life cycle around 50 % of Switzerland's final energy requirement. They are also responsible for around 30 % of emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. In recent decades, the energy requirements and CO2 emissions resulting from the use of such structures have fallen sharply. However, the grey energy contained within the structures as well as the CO2 emissions associated with the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, remain high. There is great potential for improvement here. The joint project “Low energy concrete” provides an important basis for transforming the construction industry into a sustainable sector. It primarily focuses on the building material concrete, which is responsible for an especially high amount of grey energy and significant CO2 emissions. The results of this joint project are summarised and interpreted in this synthesis on “Sustainable Concrete Structures”. The chief objectives of the joint project were as follows: CO2 emissions and grey energy are reduced by drastically decreasing the amount of clinker in the cement. Grey energy is reduced by replacing reinforcing and prestressing steel in concrete structures with wood and plastic. The service life of the structures is extended by professional monitoring and adequate renovation measures; this reduces the average annual grey energy and CO2 emissions. The research work shows that the CO2 emissions caused by concrete and concrete structures can be reduced by a factor of 4, while the bound grey energy can be decreased by a factor of 3.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents a wave method to be used for the structural identification and damage detection of structural components in bridges, e.g., bridge piers. This method has proven to be promising when applied to real structures and large amplitude responses in buildings (e.g., mid-rise and high-rise buildings). This study is the first application of the method to damaged bridge structures. The bridge identification was performed using wave propagation in a simple uniform shear beam model. The method identifies a wave velocity for the structure by fitting an equivalent uniform shear beam model to the impulse response functions of the recorded earthquake response. The structural damage is detected by measuring changes in the identified velocities from one damaging event to another. The method uses the acceleration response recorded in the structure to detect damage. In this study, the acceleration response from a shake-table four-span bridge tested to failure was used. Pairs of sensors were identified to represent a specific wave passage in the bridge. Wave velocities were identified for several sensor pairs and various shaking intensities are reported; further, actual observed damage in the bridge was compared with the detected reductions in the identified velocities. The results show that the identified shear wave velocities presented a decreasing trend as the shaking intensity was increased, and the average percentage reduction in the velocities was consistent with the overall observed damage in the bridge. However, there was no clear correlation between a specific wave passage and the observed reduction in the velocities. This indicates that the uniform shear beam model was too simple to localize the damage in the bridge. Instead, it provides a proxy for the overall extent of change in the response due to damage.

Abstract:
Tall, multistory, buildings are becoming increasingly popular in large cities as a result of growing urbanization trends (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2018). As cities continue to grow, many of them along the coasts of continents which are prone to natural hazards, the performance of tall, flexible buildings when subjected to natural hazards is a pressing issue with engineering relevance. The performance of structures when subjected to dynamic loads can be enhanced with various response modification strategies which have been traditionally achieved with added stiffness, flexibility, damping and strength (Kelly et al. 1972; Skinner et al. 1973, 1974; Clough and Penzien 1975; Zhang et al. 1989; Aiken 1990; Whittaker et al. 1991; Makris et al. 1993a,b; Skinner et al. 1993; Inaudi and Makris 1996; Kelly 1997; Soong and Dargush 1997; Constantinou et al. 1998; Makris and Chang 2000a; Chang and Makris 2000; Black et al. 2002, 2003; Symans et al. 2008; Sarlis et al. 2013; Tena-Colunga 1997). Together with the elastic spring that produces a force proportional to the relative displacement of its end-nodes and the viscous dashpot that produces a force proportional to the relative velocity of its end-nodes; the inerter produces a force proportional to the relative acceleration of its end-nodes and emerges as the third elementary mechanical element (in addition to the spring and dashpot) capable for modifying structural response. Accordingly, in this report we examine the seismic performance of multistory and seismically isolated structures when equipped with inerters. In view that the inerter emerges as the third elementary mechanical element for the synthesis of mechanical networks, in Chapter 2 we derive the basic frequency- and time-response functions of the inerter together with these of the two-parameter inertoelastic and inertoviscous mechanical networks. Chapter 3 examines the response of a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) structure where the first story is equipped with inerters. Both cases of a stiff and a compliant support of the inerters are examined. The case of two parallel clutching inerters is investigated and the study concludes that as the compliance of the frame that supports the inerters increases, the use of a single inerter offers more favorable response other than increasing the force transferred to the support frame. Chapter 4 examines the seismic response analysis of the classical two-degree-of-freedom isolated structure with supplemental rotational inertia (inerter) in its isolation system. The analysis shows that for the “critical” amount of rotational inertia which eliminates the participation of the second mode, the effect of this elimination is marginal on the structural response since the participation of the second mode is invariably small even when isolation systems without inerters are used. Our study, upon showing that the reaction force at the support of the inerter is appreciable, proceeds with a non-linear response analysis that implements a state-space formulation which accounts for the bilinear behavior of practical isolation system (single concave sliding bearings or lead-rubber bearings) in association with the compliance of the support of the inerter. Our study concludes that supplemental rotational inertia aggravates the displacement and acceleration response of the elastic superstructure and as a result, for larger isolation periods (Tb > 2.5s) the use of inerters in isolation systems is not recommended. Chapter 5 first examines the response analysis of a SDOF elastoplastic and bilinear structure and reveals that when the yielding structure is equipped with supplemental rotational inertia, the equal- displacement rule is valid starting from lower values of the pre-yielding period given that the presence of inerters lengthens the apparent pre-yielding period. The analysis concludes that sup- plemental rotational inertia emerges as an attractive response modification strategy for elastoplastic and bilinear SDOF structures with pre-yielding periods up to T1 = 1.5sec. For larger pre-yielding periods (say T1 > 2.0sec), the effectiveness of inerters to suppress the inelastic response of 2DOF yielding structures reduces; and for very flexible first stories; as in the case of isolated structures examined in chapter 4, the use of inerter at the first level (isolation system) is not recommended. Finally, chapter 6 shows that, in spite of the reduced role of inerters when placed at floor levels other than the first level (they no-longer suppress the induced ground acceleration nor they can eliminate the participation of higher modes), they still manifest a unique role since it is not possible to replace a structure with solitary inerters at higher levels with an equivalent traditional structure without inerters.

Abstract:
This document is an architectural survey of eight armories, seven field maintenance shops (FMS; three detached and four attached to the armory), and ten metal storage buildings utilized by the Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG), located across the state of Ohio. The armories and OMS were constructed or received extensive renovation and additions between 1971 and 1977, while the majority of the metal storage buildings were constructed in the 1980s. This survey satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) as amended and was used to recommend the eligibility of these buildings and structures for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It is the recommendation of this report that two armories; Alliance Armory (1976) and Xenia Armory (1975) and one associated support building; Xenia motor storage building (1975) are significant under National Register of Historic Places criteria and retain enough integrity to be individually eligible for the NRHP. Volume II of this report is published separately and contains the ERDC-CERL architectural survey forms.
