This document discusses optimization of tall structures under wind loads and fire safety constraints using STAAD Pro software. It first provides background on challenges of high-rise buildings like lateral displacement due to wind and structural vulnerability to fires. It then outlines the methodology, which includes a qualitative analysis of innovative fire-resistant strategies and a quantitative comparison of structural geometries under wind loads using STAAD Pro. Key findings are that outrigger and belt truss systems are most efficient for tall buildings over 150m, while shear wall bracing is suitable for moderately tall buildings from 100-150m.
The building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system have recently drawn interest and have demonstrated high potential to assist building owners supply both thermal and electrical loads. In this paper, the BIPV technology has been reviewed, in terms of its performance, efficiency and power generation capacity. Specifically, the applications of the BIPV in tropical climate regions have been discussed, together with its prospects and challenges. For these schemes to be implemented in a tropical climatic region, the following issues must be considered: 1) Certain studies must be done relating to electrical load demand, predicted PV output, location of the buildings and its integration and constraints associated with roof design; 2) For the highest energy production from solar PV, the solar collectors need to be with the right tilt depending on the location; 3) Design criteria such as safety, efficiency, durability, flexibility and constructive issues need to be considered; 4) The government of such countries must train electricians and carpenters on PV installations; 5) The BIPV roofing must perform same function as normal roofing materials, such as noise protection, water tightness, insulation and climate protection, and 6) As practiced around the world, these countries must establish design standards for the BIPV.
EFFECT OF SEISMIC LOAD ON REINFORCED CONCRETE MULTISTORY BUILDING FROM ECONOM...IAEME Publication
This paper aims at studying the effect of earthquake loading on the constructional
design of a 20-storey reinforced concrete residential building from economical point
of view. This type of loading should be taken into considerations now in Iraq
especially after the earthquake of 7.3 magnitude that occurred in November 2017 near
the city of Halabja by about 31 kilometers. The same reinforced concrete multistory
building was designed twice; once with traditional gravity dead and live loading and
the second with adding earthquake loading in order to discuss the difference from
structural and economical points of view. A commercial package ETABS2018 was
used to analyze this 60-meter-high building. The building was analyzed according to
the American code ASCE7-10, while it was designed according to ACI 318-14. A huge
increase in the steel reinforcement amounts in columns, beams, slabs and shear walls
were recorded due to taking the seismic load into considerations. More specifically,
the reinforcing steel amounts increased by about 327%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for
columns, beams, slabs and shear walls, respectively. Therefore, cost was raised by
about 328%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for columns, beams, slabs and shear walls,
respectively. It is worth to mention here that the maximum increase in main
reinforcement of beams was observed on the storey 10. Whereas, in slabs, the
maximum increase that was recorded in main steel reinforcement was happened from
the storey 8 to the building top. In columns, the main reinforcement increase was seen
on the 9th, 10th and 11th storeys. Finally, in shear walls, the main reinforcement
increase was seen in the 1

Seismic Study of Building with Roof Top Telecommunication TowersIJERA Editor
Due to the boom in the telecommunication business, number of buildings carrying a roof top tower has been increased rapidly. Most of the building were not originally designed to carry a roof top tower, but later converted to carry roof top towers due to the changed requirements. In the present work an attempt has been made to study the behavior of buildings with roof top tower in the event of an Earth Quake using STAAD pro. A typical commercial building is considered for the analysis. Four towers with height 9m, 15m, 21m, and 27m is considered for the study. The building is analyzed by keeping these towers at four different locations at roof top to identify the most suitable location of the tower. A comparative seismic study between buildings with and without roof top towers is done .Study is carried out to identify the most vulnerable structural members and the relative location of such members in comparison with the tower location. The difference in the forces exerted on the structural members of the building when the tower mass is lumped roof top level and at tower joint is studied in order to find out whether lumping of the tower mass at the roof top will provide satisfactory design or not.
FIRE SAFETY PROVISIONS FOR SUPERTALL BUILDINGSnaveen kumar
Fire safety provisions required in supertall buildings will be outlined in this paper. Both passive and active
systems specified in the codes for normal tall buildings are briefly listed. Evacuation is a concern.
The total fire safety concept of implementing software fire safety management to control hardware provisions in
passive building construction and active fire protection system is recommended for existing supertall buildings
in dense urban areas. A fire safety management scheme should be worked out with clear understanding on the
fire dynamics in supertall buildings.
ANALYSIS OF WIND & EARTHQUAKE LOAD FOR DIFFERENT SHAPES OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGIAEME Publication
Modern tall buildings have efficient structural systems, and utilize high-strength materials, resulting in reduced building height, and thus, become more slender and flexible with low damping. These flexible buildings are very sensitive to wind excitation and earthquake load causing discomfort to the building occupants. Therefore, in order to mitigate such an excitation and to improve the performance of tall buildings against wind loads and earthquake loads, many researches and studies have been performed. Early integration of aerodynamic shaping, wind engineering considerations,
and structural system selections play a major role in the architectural design of a tall building in order to mitigate the building response to the wind excitations.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
