Full textAbstract:
While current assessment methods for preventing progressive collapse are mainly associated with blast and impact loading, no systematic framework is currently available for the practical and rational assessment of robustness of multi-storey building structures under localised fire. In this thesis, a robustness assessment framework with various alternative levels of sophistication is presented with the aim of bridging the gap between the topics of structural fire resistance and progressive collapse. The robustness assessment framework developed in this thesis is comprised of four basic components, namely, detailed Temperature-Dependent Approach, simplified Temperature-Dependent Approach, Temperature-Independent Approach, and practical design recommendations. These assessment approaches can satisfy various design requirements in different design stages. To illustrate their application, localised fire induced by burning vehicles in a typical multi-storey steel-composite car park is considered as a main reference scenario. A Robustness Limit State (RLS) is proposed, which is based on the fact that large inelastic deformations of building structures subject to extreme loading are typically concentrated in the joint regions, thus failure of joints in certain locations may lead to floor collapse, and subsequently trigger progressive collapse. Therefore, no floor collapse is allowed in the current RLS. Since joint resistance and ductility play an essential role in mitigating progressive collapse, a component-based joint modelling technique and multiple joint failure criteria for commonly used semi-rigid joints are proposed and thoroughly discussed. The proposed joint modelling strategy is shown to be capable of capturing realistic nonlinear behaviour of joints under both ambient and elevated temperatures. Employing the proposed joint failure criteria, the application of the robustness assessment framework is illustrated for the reference structure, and important conclusions are drawn relating to the accuracy and reliability of each assessment approach. Furthermore, multi-level structural modelling strategies, the significance of structural dynamic effects during fire, factors influencing structural robustness, and future research

Os carregamentos desse sistema são transferidos para os pilares a partir dos vigamentos principais. Dúvidas sobre qual é a melhor solução para o dimensionamento do vigamento principal podem surgir devido aos grandes vãos que essas estruturas devem cumprir. Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo das configurações estruturais e uso de diferentes materiais para o projeto, fabricação e montagem de coberturas de galpões de grandes dimensões. Foram desenvolvidos diversos projetos de uma estrutura modelo onde se variou o tipo de perfil das cordas, o comprimento dos vãos, a geometria da seção transversal da treliça e a inclinação das diagonais. A partir dos resultados obtidos, realizou-se uma análise paramétrica buscando-se a solução que apresenta o menor peso estrutural dos vigamentos principais. A grande vantagem da utilização de treliças multiplanares é o bom comportamento fora do plano que esse tipo de estrutura oferece, podendo reduzir custos com travamentos e elementos secundários. Também foi realizado um estudo determinístico para dar apoio às decisões na escolha da melhor solução para os diversos tipos de galpões de grandes dimensões estudados. Os resultados preliminares obtidos indicam que a solução de cordas tubulares mistas, em partes selecionadas da estrutura, representa uma das soluções mais competitivas para este tipo de estrutura.<br>Roofing systems constitute a considerable part of the final costs of large single-storey buildings. The loads of this system are transferred to the columns from the girders. During the design process may be raised the question of what may be the best solutions for the roof supporting girders, mainly due to the large spans required. This dissertation presents a study of the structural configurations and the use of different materials for the design, manufacture and assembly of roofs of large single-storey buildings. Several designs of a model structure were developed where the type of profile of the main chords, the length of the spans, the geometry of the cross-section of the truss and the angulation of diagonals were varied. Based on the obtained results, a parametric analysis was performed focused on solutions presenting the lower structural weight of the girders. The great advantage of using multiplanar trusses is the good behavior out of plane that this type of structure offers, which can reduce costs with bracing and secondary elements. A deterministic study was also carried out in order to support decisions in choosing the best solution for the various types of large single-storey buildings studied. The preliminary results obtained indicate that the solution of concrete filled steel tubular chords in selected parts of the structure represents one of the most competitive solutions for this type of construction.

Full textAbstract:
As part of the continuing effort undertaken at Imperial College London to develop a unified measure of robustness, the current study addresses several issues which were identified in the past as prospective enhancements to the ductility-centred framework. As robustness evaluates the structural performance against extreme local actions, it should consider within the assessment framework the duration of the accidental event and its repercussion on the structural response. In this context, incorporation of rate-sensitivity is a step forward to a more realistic structural assessment under blast/impact loading. Towards this end, the rate-sensitivity of steel is quantified with the aid of experimental coupon tests. Subsequent studies on rate-sensitivity at the structural level, which similarly include validation by component testing under moderate to high rates, address a knowledge gap on the dynamic over-strength and ductility supply associated with sudden column loss scenarios. Further developments are made to the framework in order to accommodate material rate-sensitivity, where a case study is undertaken which illustrates the diminishing rate effects at higher structural levels. Since local damage resulting from extreme loading does not revolve around a single possible damage scenario, it is important to investigate other local damage scenarios besides the typically considered single column removal. In this context, the feasibility and practicality of scenarios involving the simultaneous loss of multiple columns are considered, with generalisation of the simplified dynamic assessment and development of simplified models based on dominant modes of deformation. As the study of different damage scenarios moves the discussion on robustness towards rational risk assessment, this work aims to demonstrate the adequacy of the ductility-centred framework to the quantification of the failure probability under column loss scenarios. With an illustrative application study, it is established that such risk assessment is not only feasible but may ultimately provide a valuable decision-making tool in the design process of robust structures.

La tesi si occupa di un argomento ancora poco studiato, ovvero la durabilità dei materiali compositi fibrorinforzati a matrice polimerica (FRP) applicati ai substrati murari dell’edilizia storica, con particolare riguardo a come la presenza di umidità e di sali all’interno della muratura possa influire negativamente sull’efficacia del legame di adesione tra substrato e materiale composito FRP. La prima parte dell’elaborato è incentrata sulla definizione delle principali caratteristiche dei materiali compositi FRP, del loro utilizzo nel rinforzo strutturale del patrimonio edilizio storico e della loro durabilità in relazione a vari fattori di degrado, sulla base della letteratura tecnico-scientifica disponibile. La seconda parte riguarda la descrizione della campagna sperimentale condotta, dalla descrizione dei materiali e dei metodi impiegati fino alla discussione dei risultati ottenuti: sono stati studiati provini costituiti da mattoni in laterizio rinforzati con matrice polimerica a base di resina epossidica e tessuto unidirezionale in trefoli di acciaio. I provini sono stati sottoposti a due differenti tipi di cicli di condizionamento in modo da ricreare le condizioni di substrati murari affetti rispettivamente da umidità e sali: sono state poi eseguite le prove di taglio diretto per valutare il peggioramento del legame di adesione. In seguito, sono state effettuate le prove di caratterizzazione dei materiali: la cromatografia ionica e l’analisi al microscopio, per comprendere le modalità di rottura riscontrate nei campioni affetti dalla presenza di sali, e due diverse prove meccaniche standard (prova di flessione a 3 punti e prova brasiliana), per comprendere le modalità di rottura osservate nei campioni affetti da umidità. Infine, su singoli mattoni rinforzati in maniera analoga ai provini precedenti sono state svolte delle prove di pull-off, per confermare i risultati ottenuti in precedenza e avere una visione più completa riguardo il fenomeno dell’adesione.

L’obiettivo di questo studio è analizzare l’adesione tra i compositi fibrosi a matrice inorganica (FRCM) e alcune tipolgie di substrato su cui vengono applicati, attraverso l'esecuzione, in laboratorio, di prove di pull off, un test effettuabile anche in sito che consiste in un’estrazione semi-distruttiva al fine di valutare la forza di legame tra substrato e rinforzo.
Nel presente studio sono stati scelti come substrati alcuni tra i materiali più impiegati nell’architettura storica: due tipi di laterizio (giallo e rosso) e due materiali lapidei porosi (pietra leccese e tufo napoletano). Alcuni di essi sono stati sottoposti a cicli di cristallizzazione salina per portarli a una condizione di degrado simile a quella della muratura esistente. Sono poi stati applicati gli FRCM. Come matrici inorganiche sono state utilizzati due tipi di malta a base di calce idraulica e una malta cementizia, combinate con rinforzi di reti di fibre in vetro o reti di fibre in basalto, applicati secondo le indicazioni fornite dai produttori.
Dall’analisi dei risultati dei test di pull off si evince che l’adesione tra il substrato ed il composito è forte nella maggior parte dei casi, data la modalità di rottura coesiva prevalente, soprattutto nel tufo, il che però contraddice la letteratura riguardo alla reversibilità dell’intervento.
Per quanto riguarda il degrado da sali è emerso che esso non ha danneggiato l’efficacia del rinforzo, bensì ha reso le superfici più scabre, incrementando quindi l’adesione.
La prova di pull off è risultata essere una prova semplice, tuttavia si è riscontrata un’elevata dispersione dei risultati, quindi è necessario realizzare numerose prove. In sito si deve tener conto dell'eterogeneità dei materiali della muratura e della presenza di malta tra i giunti.

碩士<br>明道大學<br>企業高階管理碩士班<br>102<br>In view of the marginal profits generated in a competitive gasoline market, gas station owners have increasingly turned to multi-faceted business development. Composite stores at gas stations were thus introduced within legal constraints, namely convenience stores, as a means to enhance gas stations’ performance, also to meet customers’ needs. Yet with Taiwan’s density of convenience stores at the world’s highest, for gas station composite stores to survive rivalries and create profits, store managers must be able to select merchandise with precision and accuracy in order to cater to the demand of their target customers.
Beverages are considered necessities to quench thirst in Taiwan’s sweltering heat, particularly in summer. Also given the omnipresence of convenience stores, facilitating beverage purchases, it is no wonder that beverage products take up a great percentage of convenience stores’ total sales. Based on the trend of development in the beverage industry, this research singled out twelve varied functional beverage products with claimed health benefits, which were then rated by experts in questionnaires according to previous sales experiences. The top three products were selected upon overall weighted values. Sales figures of the ranked products were consequently forecasted using a mixed model of experts’ rules of thumb and time series analysis.
The results showed that the Item selection model developed in this research may assist composite stores in picking out suitable beverage products. The ranking of predicated sales, generated by the sales forecasting model, also corresponded to that of overall weighted values, therefore affirming the validity of this Item selection model in terms of precise and accurate Item selection for composite stores and reliable sales forecasts.

Selecting ten candies and cookies commodities, the study applies sales level criteria fuzzy model to the composite store merchandise. Further, several methods are used from sales experience combined with expert, high-level selection and ranking score, and the weighted value of the global commodity. Experienced experts are surveyed in mixed-mode time series forecasting in order to predict the selection of merchandise sales.
The results show, the selection mode of products found in this study could be predicted for high-level sorting of goods. This prediction model calculation shows that the amount of its sales forecast and the global weighting of the sort order is the same. Theory developed in this study would be applied to predict the sales of goods and a reliable reference for the complex choices of stores.

Full textAbstract:
The short story was the most profitable literary form for most fiction-writers of
the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries because it was quick to write, relative to
novels, marketable to a wide variety of periodicals, and able to be re-sold, in groups, for
book collections. While the majority of writers composed short fiction within
conventional modes and genres and published collections rarely exhibiting more than a
superficial coherence of setting or character, modernist authors found in the form’s
brevity helpful restrictions on their stylistic and narrative experiments, and, in the short
story collection, an opportunity to create book-length works exhibiting new, modern
kinds of coherence.
This dissertation examines four modernists' experiences writing short stories and
publishing them in periodicals and books: Henry James in The Yellow Book and
Terminations (Heinemann, 1895); Joseph Conrad in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine
and Youth: A Narrative; and Two Other Stories (Blackwood, 1902); James Joyce in The
Irish Homestead and Dubliners (Grant Richards, 1914); and Virginia Woolf in Monday or
Tuesday (Hogarth, 1921). For these writers, the production of short fiction within the
literary marketplace had definite and important consequences on their texts as well as the
formation of their mature authorial identities. (With the exception of James, I focus on
the early, most impressionable periods of the writers’ careers.) In bucking the commercial
trend of miscellaneous collections, the unified book of stories came to represent, for such
artists, something of a bibliographic rebellion, which, because of its inherent formal
fragmentation, proved a compelling and fruitful site for their exploration of modernist
themes and styles.
The conclusion explores some of the consequences of these experiences on the
writers’ subsequent, longer texts—Lord Jim, Ulysses, and Jacob's Room—arguing that
such so-called “novels” can be understood better if studied within the literary and
professional contexts created by their authors’ engagements with the short story. The
same is true of the “short story cycle,” “sequence,” and “composite,” as strongly-coherent
books of stories have been termed variously by scholars. This dissertation, particularly its
introduction, sets out to provide historical, material background for scholarship on this
too-long neglected literary genre.<br>text

In recent years, the transformation of old buildings has developed different elements by interior design. Interior design turns the old houses into brand-new appearances but also keeps the original elements in them with modern concepts. Restoration of old houses combines cultural creativities and interior design, and it is widely believed that the restoration is an important issue for designers.
The research focuses on the idea of environmental restoration through combining cultural creativity industry in Dihua Street, Taipei. This paper aims at discussing the relationship between the history of restoration and the restoration by re-designed. The method of the study bases on classification of history, space, life, design, and development. Moreover, this paper analyzes the affections by the five categories that mentioned above. The re-designed spaces attract cultural and creative workers and artists to station in thus the spaces become complex environment inside the street houses. For instance, pottery, tea houses, art works, galleries, hand-made works, etc. The restoration of old houses forms a kind of aura that combines history, humanity, and art. Meanwhile, these restoration spaces have become the must-see sights for foreign tourists. Now, what changes does it make to Dihua Street? This paper sets another comparison by interviewing ten store owners, local people, and tourists in Dihua Street and Shen Nong Street, Tainan. The interview explores their points of view of future development on the restoration of old streets.
Finally, this paper will draw the conclusion according to the interview, and compare the differences between the old streets and re-designed streets. In the mean time, this paper will compare the control groups to analyze how the interior design affects the old streets and interior spaces; in other words, this paper will disclose the esthetics of design under the perspective of modern ideas to affect other designers, and finally to conduct the coexistence and mutual prosperity of new and old.
