This study presents the performance-based seismic assessment of low-rise reinforced concrete archetype buildings, considering repair costs for ordinary moment-resistant frames (OMF) and dual systems consisting of OMF plus special shear walls (SSW).Historically, the OMF systems, plt poultry litter treatment conceived for residential purposes in Ecua
This research investigates the overall heating energy consumptions using various control strategies, secondary heat emitters, and primary plant for a building.Previous research has successfully demonstrated that a dynamic distributed heat emitter model embedded within a simplified third-order lumped parameter building model is capable of achieving
Self-compassion has received considerable attention for promoting well-being and reducing psychopathology, and preliminary findings generate the hypothesis that self-compassion influences mental health indirectly through adaptive emotion regulation strategies.The cross-sectional study investigates the links between self-compassion, emotion regulati
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading.In this paper, experimental and parametric studies bostik roll-cote are performed to assess the influence of using HPFRCC material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams.After ca
Background: Foreign body ingestion is a common presenting problem in our society.Rigid esophagoscopy for extraction of ingested foreign bodies is the recommended treatment.The purpose of this study was to present our experience with rigid esophagoscopy in removal of esophageal foreign bodies.Material & Methods: This descriptive study was carried ou
