Seismic retrofitting is a collection mitigation technique for earthquake engineering.
It is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquake.
It is of utmost important for historic monuments, areas prone to severe earthquakes and tall or
expensive structures.
The retrofitting techniques are also applicable for other natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes and severe winds from thunderstorms.
Retrofitting proves to be a better economic consideration and immediate shelter to problems
rather than replacement of building.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Tensile
1.
2. TENSILE IS A TYPE OF FORCE APPLIED ON A MATERIAL.
IT IS A CAPABILITY OF MATERIAL OF BEING
STRETCH OUT
3. A tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying
only tension and no compression or bending.
A tensile membrane structure is most often used as a
roof, as they can economically and attractively span
large distances.
Tension roofs or canopies are those in which every part of
the structure is loaded only in tension, with no
requirement to resist compression or bending forces.
5. There are many great advantages and functional benefits of tensile membrane
structures and here are few reasons why:
Flexible Design Aesthetics - Tensile membrane structures provide virtually
unlimited designs of distinctive elegant forms that can be realized because of the
unique flexible characteristics of membrane resulting in an iconic and unique
structure or feature for any building owner, city or even region.
Outstanding Translucency – In daylight, fabric membrane translucency offers soft
diffused naturally lit spaces reducing the interior lighting costs while at night,
artificial lighting creates an ambient exterior luminescence.
Excellent Durability – With several different membranes in the market place such
as PTFE fiberglass, ETFE film, PVC, and ePTFE, the durability and longevity of
tensile membrane structures have been proven.
6. Lightweight Nature - The lightweight nature of membrane is a cost effective
solution that requires less structural steel to support the roof compared to
conventional building materials, enabling long spans of column-free space.
Low Maintenance – Tensile membrane systems are somewhat unique in that they
require minimal maintenance when compared to an equivalent-sized conventional
building.
Cost Benefits – Most tensile membrane structures have high sun reflectivity and
low absorption of sunlight, thus resulting in less energy used within a building and
ultimately reducing electrical energy costs.
13. USES OF TENSILE STRUCTURES:
•USE AS PENUMATIC SHADE IN STATIDUMS.
•ANTICLASTIC STRUCTURES ARE VERY FREQUENT IN RESORTS PAVILION.
•IN SHADE OF CAR PARKING.
•IN SHADE OF OPEN THEATRE.
•IN SHADE OF SWMING POOL.
•IN PATIO AWRIGE.
14. MATERIAL FOR TENSILE MEMBRANE:
Structural Fabric
Structural fabric is the material that defines lightweight tensile
structures.
Requirements
As a primary structural element, it must have the strength to
span between supporting elements, carry snow and wind loads,
and be safe to walk on.
As enclosure element, it needs to be airtight, waterproof, fire
resistant and durable.
As daily use element, it requires to transmit daylight, reflect
heat, control sound, and be easy to keep clean.
Sample Materials
Fiberglass, Polyester Cloth, PVC, Teflon.
16. Rigid Structural Elements
Steel Frame Rigid structural elements, such as arches, are to support the flexible
fabric and cable membrane, generate its peaks, form its edges.
Requirements
The rigid elements in tensile structures must be strong, light, reliable,
readily available, easy to fabricate, transport .
Sample Materials
Steel, Reinforced Concrete,Laminated Wood, Aluminum.
STEEL ROOF
LAMINATED WOOD ARCHES
18. Cables
Cables serve a number of functions in tensile structure
applications:
reinforcement of the fabric where the spans and stresses get too
large;
linear tension support elements along edges;
tie-backs and stays to stabilize rigid support element.
Requirements
The cables need to be light, high-strength and flexible to some
extent.
Sample Materials
High Strength Bridge Strand, Steel,
Glass Fiber.
20. DISADVANTAGES :
•NO RIGIDITY.
•LOSS OF TENSION IS
DANGEROUS FOR STABILITY.
ADVANTAGES:
•UNIQUE DESIGNS.
•LIGHTWEIGHT
•FLEXIBLE
•ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE
ADVANTAGES FABRIC TENSILE STRUCTURE
21. ADVANTAGES FABRIC TENSILE STRUCTURE
One of the main advantages of fabric structure is that you can install it rapidly and easily.
Tension fabric buildings provide abundant daytime lighting that is bright and natural,
the interior of a fabric structure is an inviting environment that people, plants and animals
thrive in.
Fabric buildings are Acoustics exceptional; no sounds of pelting rain.
Fabric buildings have Low cost per square foot, Initial investment is low.
Fabric buildings are self cleaning; never needs painting; dust, dirt, pollutants wash off with
Water no rotting parts to replace.
Fabric structures are durable, corrosion resistance. salt, fertilizer and other corrosive materials
have virtually no effect on polyethylene fabric.
Flexibility, when a large clearspan building with tall overhead clearances is needed,
a fabric structure is an economical solution.
