    Investigating Layout of Shear Walls in Tall Buildings with Non-Symmetrical Plan

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kabir, Minoo (Author) ; Khaloo, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In tall buildings, seismic behavior depends on structural elements and their configuration. The usefulness of shear walls in the structural planning of multistory buildings has long been recognized. When walls are situated in advantageous positions in a building, they can be very efficient in resisting lateral loads originating from wind or earthquakes. Restriction in surrounding effects and the architectural design may contribute to have asymmetry in plan. In a number of papers, published mainly in the last decade, the analysis and design of shear walls has been studied. But just a few of them considered arrangement of shear walls to find the optimum layout. In the present study, analysis...

    In the current study, the elastic field in an anisotropic elastic media is determined by implementing a general semi-analytical method. In this specific methodology, the displacement field is computed as a sum of finite functions with unknown coefficients. These aforementioned functions exactly satisfy both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous boundary conditions in the proposed media. It is worth mentioning that the unknown coefficients are determined by implementing the principle of minimum potential energy. The numerical integration is done by employing the Generalized Gaussian Quadrature rule. Furthermore, and with the aid of the calculated unknown coefficients, the displacement fields as...

    On the performance analysis of epidemic routing in non-sparse delay tolerant networks

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing ; Volume 22, Issue 7 , 2023 , Pages 4134-4149 ; 15361233 (ISSN) Rashidi, L ; Towsley, D ; Mohseni Kabir, A ; Movaghar, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2023
    Abstract
    We study the behavior of epidemic routing in a delay tolerant network as a function of node density. Focusing on the probability of successful delivery to a destination within a deadline (PS), we show that PS experiences a phase transition as node density increases. Specifically, we prove that PS exhibits a phase transition when nodes are placed according to a Poisson process and allowed to move according to independent and identical processes with limited speed. We then propose four fluid approximations to evaluate the performance of epidemic routing in non-sparse networks. An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is proposed for supercritical networks based on approximation of the infection...
