The effect of partition walls and non-structural elements on the dynamic response of floors is still not well understood, and there is a need for vibration testing of floors at various stages of ...

This paper presents optimization methods to design frame structures from a stock of existing elements. These methods are relevant when reusing structural elements over multiple service lives. Reuse ...

Efforts to reduce the amount of raw materials, such as cement and sand, that go into the construction of buildings have been met with obvious challenges, particularly how to create the supports. Since ...

Buildings are constantly exposed to temperature changes. Daily heating and cooling, seasonal variation, and long-term climate patterns all cause materials to expand and contract. While these ...

Structural and center lines are two vital aspects of architectural and engineering drawings. These lines help represent the physical features of a structure accurately. They enable architects and ...

3D modeled exploded structure of a single family house. Perspective view showing building stripped to structural elements hovering over design plan. Special emphasis on energy efficiency elements and ...

The origins of modern structural biology date back to the 1910s, when the German physicist Max von Laue discovered that biological crystal samples irradiated with X-rays produced diffraction patterns ...

This Collection is no longer open for submissions. Mobile elements have been found to mediate many structural variations in the genome. Expansion of whole-genome sequencing data has contributed to ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
