Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Electricity Price on Saving Energy Transmitted from External Building WallsSamah K. Alghoul, Ammar O. Gwesha, Abdurrauf M. NaasSpace heating and cooling loads consume a significant part of the national produced energy in many countries. Therefore, substantial energy savings can be achieved by the reduction of spent energy in this category. Since wall insulation is rarely used in Libya, this research was conducted to study the effect of electricity price on residential heating and cooling energy consumption and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 May 2016 · 10,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Evaluation of the Raking Energy in Damping System of Steel Stud Partition WallsSalah Amer, Sameer Hamoush, Taher M. Abu-LebdehNonstructural partition walls are usually specified based on the best practice without any structural design calculations. However, given the likely severe earthquake damage to nonstructural components and the substantial cost of repair to such components, it is imperative that we develop an understanding of the seismic response of the nonstructural partition walls when subjected to earthquake loading conditions. The main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 7,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMagneto Convection in Tilted Square Cavity with Differentially Thermally Active Vertical WallsGokila Subbarayalu, Selladurai VelappanProblem statement: The purpose of this study is to study numerically the magnetoconvection in a tilted square cavity with differentially thermally active vertical walls. The two vertical side walls of tilted enclosure are differentially thermally active, each consisting of alternating equal sized hot and cold surface elements facing each other in an opposed manner while the horizontal top and bottom … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 May 2011 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Fasteners Disposition on Behaviour of Timber-Framed Walls with Double Fibre-Plaster Coating BoardsM.Kuhta, M.PremrovThis paper provides experimental analysis of timber-framed walls, coated with double fibre-plaster coating boards fastened to the timber frame. As the walls under a horizontal load actually behave like a deep composite beam, the fasteners disposition is very important and directly influences bearing capacity and stiffness of the wall. Therefore, three different groups of test samples with staple distances of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExact Solution of a Test Particle in Presence of Thick Domain WallsA. Al-BadawiWe have obtained the exact solution of the equations of motion of a test particle near a thick domain walls for the case of Ricci tensor Rab = 0. From the solution it has been shown that the domain walls have repulsive gravitational fields. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBamboo Lightweight Shear Walls: Modeling and Identification of Sheathing-to-Framing Connections for Seismic Response AnalysisGiorgia Di Gangi, Cristoforo Demartino, Giuseppe QuarantaThe need for enhancing the sustainability of civil constructions has originated an increasing interest in the use of engineered bamboo-based products within the building sector. Nonetheless, while the static response of bamboo-made structures has been largely investigated, experimental and numerical researches concerning the response under dynamic loads are limited. Therefore, the present work deals with the assessment of the seismic … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Jun 2020 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity Thermally Modulated on Both Side WallsGiovani E.B. Malomar, Abdoulaye Gueye, Cheikh Mbow et al.The numerical study of natural convection in a square porous cavity saturated by a Newtonian fluid is presented in this study. The vertical walls are subjected to temperatures varying sinusoidally in time and phase opposition while the upper and lower horizontal walls are thermally adiabatic. Darcy model is used, it is also assumed the fluid studied is incompressible and obeys … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2016 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeismic Assessment of Non-Seismically Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames with Core WallsTaek-Hyun Lee, Ki-Bong Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study examines the seismic performance of four non-seismically designed reinforced concrete structures with core walls and proposes proper rehabilitation methods. The structures were selected based on the height of the structures, occupancy levels and floor plans. The seismic assessment results were compared based on the performance of the structures before rehabilitation and after rehabilitation. The results indicate that most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 13 Dec 2014 · 6,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,783 accessesView PDFCite
