Abstract:
The using of flat slab systems is a common structural solution for residential and commercial buildings as they are a cost-effective structural solution that simplifies and speeds up the construction phase. However, the flat slab systems have complex behavior, particularly in the slab–column connection zones, because of punching shear. Therefore, to prevent brittle flat slab collapse because of punching shear, there are some conditions which must be met in regulations such as Eurocode 2, American Concrete Institute’s Code, and Türkiye Building Earthquake Code—2018.

The Cup-type transmission tower-line system was a classic representative of high voltage electric power carrier, which was an important lifeline project. However, it frequently collapsed under different environmental loadings, especially strong wind. In this work, four tower five line finite element models simulated wind-induced progressive collapse process by birth-to-death element technique in ABAQUS/Explicit. The numerical simulation results demonstrated that this application could describe the structural collapse performance clearly and effectively and transmission tower-line system collap

The concept of Urban Heavy Rescue is gaining increasing recognition within the emergency response community.

Shoring systems are used as temporary support for structures under construction and their primary function is to support and transmit various types of loads. To optimize this phase it has been developed a technique known as Clearing or partial Striking; it consists in removing a percentage of shores few days after the casting such that the load is redistributed between the slab and the remaining shores. In this way the shores removed in one floor can be used to start building the upper one. It is thus really important to conceive the process in a proper way assuring that the whole system is ab

Causality and Predictability of Complex Systems pose fundamental challenges even under well-defined structural stochastic-dynamic conditions where the laws of motion and system symmetries are known. However, the edifice of complexity can be profoundly transformed by structural-functional coevolution and non-recurrent elusive mechanisms changing the very same invariants of motion that had been taken for granted. This leads to recurrence collapse and memory loss, precluding the ability of traditional stochastic-dynamic and information-theoretic metrics to provide reliable information about the n

Abstract:
Attic fires pose many hazards for the fire service. When a fire occurs in an attic, it is common it goes unnoticed/reported until smoke or flames are visible from the outside of the structure. Because they take longer to detect, attic fires are more dangerous for firefighters and residents. In a fire situation, the attic ventilation system, which is designed to reduce moisture accumulation by drawing fresh air low from the eaves and exhausting moisture laden warm air near the peak, create an optimal fire growth and spread situation by supplying oxygen to the fire and exhausting hot gases.

Abstract:
Evaluated the typical Gulf of Mexico pipelay barges and assess their ability to install 8 to 20-inch diameter pipelines in water depths ranging from 1000 ft to 3000 ft. McDermott's LB-29 and DB-28, Global Pipelines PLUS' Cherokee, and OPI's DLB-423 were evaluated. Allseas' the North Sea dynamically positioned lay vessel Lorelay was also evaluated for comparison. Pipe wall thicknesses to satisfy buckle propagation, collapse, and stability criteria were determined, and the results were used to select wall thicknesses for 8, 12, 16, and 20-inch nominal pipe diameters in water depths of 1000, 1500

Abstract:
Lebanon’s 2019 financial collapse ranks among the worst globally in recent history. Rooted in decades of fiscal mismanagement, entrenched clientelism, and a post-civil war economic model that emphasises speculative financialisation over social welfare, the resultant collapse of the Lebanese pound (LBP)–US$ peg triggered widespread socioeconomic devastation, with hyperinflation, skyrocketing poverty, and the erosion of people’s savings and wages. With more than 70 per cent of the population living in multidimensional poverty, Lebanon’s already fragmented social protection systems were overwhelm

Abstract:
Global greenhouse gas emissions, combined with local deforestation and forest degradation, are pushing the Amazonian system closer to a tipping point. A large-scale Amazon tipping point may trigger the collapse of most forests and consequently: (1) accelerate global warming, hindering efforts to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement; (2) reduce moisture flow across South America, threatening water security for basic socioeconomic activities, such as agriculture; (3) increase temperatures across the Amazon region that may become unbearable for humans living in urban and rural areas; (4) caus
