SEISMIC DESIGN APPROACH FOR TORSIONAL EFFECTS ON RC DUCTILE BUILDINGS
This study investigates the influence of torsional effects on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) ductile buildings and provides a framework for their analysis and design. Key considerations include the relative positions of the center of mass (CM) and center of stiffness (CS), stiffness distribution, and the control of lateral disp...

TROPOSPHERIC INFLUENCE IN GNSS POSITIONING
Atmospheric influences, mainly caused by ionospheric and tropospheric conditions, lead to delays and distortions of GNSS signals that travel from satellites to receivers on Earth. This impact must be considered for projects that require high positioning and navigation accuracy. The troposphere dominates in areas with a large amount of water vapour ...

THE ROLE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY PLANNING IN CREATING URBAN MORPHOLOGY OF CITIES AND TOWNS
Different manuscripts on the importance of energy planning at a community level explain why energy planning should go hand-in -hand with urban planning. They put emphasis on self-sufficient heat and electric power supply of communities, with locally available renewable energy such as geothermal energy (GTE). It also emphasized that this transition ...

ANALYSIS OF THE NATURAL FREQUENCY OF COMPOSITE PLATES MADE OF CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER AND CONCRETE
This paper investigates the natural frequencies of square and rectangular cross-laminated timber–concrete composite plates using the approximate analytical Rayleigh method and finite element analysis in Abaqus/Standard. Determining the natural frequency, as dynamic characteristic, is important for verifying the serviceability limit state rega...
