Combined Elastic and Limit Analysis for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Pitched Portal Frames by Marco Postiglione, Fabio De Angelis, Giuseppe Brandonisio

“…To this end, a simplified model is proposed to analyze both linear and non-linear responses of these structures under horizontal actions. Although the analysis focuses on two-dimensional (2D) portal frames, it can be extended to three-dimensional (3D) buildings in a straightforward manner due to the specific characteristics of the analyzed structural scheme. …”

Effects of February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes on Housing Preferences vis-à-vis Sociology of Disasters by Nihal Arda Akyıldız, Aykut Sığın

“…After transcribing the interviews, the software ATLAS.ti 9 was used to identify the five themes of the study: 1) preferences shifting from vertical to horizontal housing, 2) preferences shifting from comfort-oriented options to those with safety, 3) preferences shifting from urban to rural areas, 4) rising demand for buildings complying with the earthquake legislation, and 5) reasons for not leaving the earthquake zone because of economic or family reasons despite lack of trust in the building/area. …”

Investigation of the effect of eccentricity and shell diameter on the charging performance of erythritol for thermal energy storage by Amr Rabiea, Taher Halawa

“…A three-dimensional numerical model was developed to simulate the melting process of erythritol as a phase change material (PCM) in a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger. The results demonstrate that increasing eccentricity significantly enhances charging performance, with optimal relative eccentricity values between 0.6 and 0.7 across various shell diameters. …”

STUDY ON MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF STIFFENED RIBBED PLATE (MT) by ZHANG ChenFan, DENG QingTian, LI XinBo, HOU ZhaoYang

“…The research shows that the reinforcement effect of the plate is better than the positive distribution when the square configuration is distributed in the 45° direction, and the vertical distribution of the regular hexagon and the inner concave configuration has better plate reinforcement effect than the horizontal distribution and the 45° direction distribution; the smaller the angle between the pores of the stiffened configuration is, the better the reinforcement effect of the plate is; the use of sinusoids in the stiffened layer instead of the straight line boundary can significantly improve the bearing capacity of the stiffened plate; through the analysis of the crack path of the stiffened plate, it can be obtained that all the stiffened layers of the stiffened plate expand along the longitudinal rib wall at the load-bearing position after bending and deformation.…”
