Geodesic construction Geodesic airframe fuselage structure is exposed by battle damage Geodesic structural elements were used by Barnes Wallis for British Vickers between the wars and into World War II to form the whole of the fuselage‚ including its aerodynamic shape. In this type of construction multiple flat strip stringers are wound about the formers

Chapter 1: Introduction to Seismic Vulnerability Assessment 1. Background Earthquakes and other natural hazards can create disasters of uncontrollable magnitudes when they hit large metropolitan areas. Earthquake risk assessment is used to quantify potential social and economic losses from earthquakes. Risk assessment is an integral part of disaster mitigation. It provides the critical information about on the characteristics of potential disasters in a region and allows planners to identify

People make decision all the time to choose the best option in considering the utility and value that can get the most. Choice is like a gamble game that can generate several outcomes with different probability. It derives many of its hypotheses analysis of responses to money and to probability. However‚ people normally will not think the outcome in terms of total wealth‚ but rather than gain and losses and neutral outcomes. Many people prefer to choose the sure thing over the gamble even the gamble

and must convey aesthetic meaning” because “Architecture is a social art” (page 1 of 19). Structural engineers are principally concerned with the structural form of a building‚ whereas architects are concerned with the integration of the building functions‚ form‚ mechanical system‚ as well as the building itself. It is through their collaboration that complex building can be designed. Designing the overall frame of a building is the first step in constructing a viable and stable structure. According
