Space frame - Intro
Space frame is an alternative building system to traditional masonry construction. It consists of 3D welded wire panels with optional polyurethane insulation that form lightweight, modular walls. Space frame walls offer advantages over masonry like rapid construction, strength even in unstable soils, lightweight materials, and cost savings. Technical specifications and load testing results show that space frame walls can bear significant weight, with a single wall panel surviving up to 13.9 tons per running meter and double wall panels withstanding over 15.5 tons per running meter. Previous building projects demonstrate successful uses of the space frame system for internal and boundary walls.

BASE ISOLATION SYSTEM
This document discusses seismic retrofitting and base isolation systems. It defines seismic retrofitting as modifying existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity. The most widely used retrofitting method is base isolation, which involves inserting rubber or similar isolators between a building's foundation and superstructure. This allows for slight lateral movement during an earthquake to increase the building's natural period and reduce seismic forces. There are two main types of base isolators: sliding systems and elastometric isolators, with lead rubber bearings being a common elastometric isolator that uses lead plugs to dissipate energy and limit displacement. Base isolation has been used worldwide to reinforce historical structures and reduce earthquake damage to buildings and artifacts.
Base isolation.ppt [Autosaved] [Autosaved]
This document introduces base isolation as a seismic retrofitting technique. It defines base isolation as decoupling a structure's superstructure from its substructure using structural elements.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECT
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
