efficiency of the concepts. Laboratory tests and the demonstration of two physical models further confirm the findings. Several practical designs are also provided to show the applicability and significance of these concepts. An alternative definition of structural stiffness is given which complements the existing definition and allows for designing stiffer structures. It is interesting to note that using the concepts may lead to not only stiffer but also more economical and elegant designs. K= P D Tianjian

macro-sociological and micro-sociological theories‚ otherwise known as structural and action theories‚ respectively. As sociological theories‚ they both aim to explain the society we live in‚ but differ in where they choose to focus their explanation‚ with macro-sociological theories observing society as shaping the individuals that live in it‚ and micro-sociological theories observing individuals as shaping the society they live in. Structural theories explain society by looking at social structures‚ interactions

Oftentimes the entire structure crumbles‚ leaving a pile of rubble in which survive. Shown in(B) is one of the many masonry homes to collapse during the 1988 Armenia earthquake (M6.9)‚ claiming nearly 25‚000 lives. The failure is called soft-story collapse. Soft-story collapse is a common problem in commercial building where the first floor has considerable open space for
