A Simple, Closed-Form Method for Determining the Superelevation of Tall Reinforced Concrete Buildings

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero, Paola Costanza Miglietta

The vertical shortening of tall buildings is not negligible, and it is important to account for these deformations to minimize differential movement and ensure that the finished building is level. Compensation via superelevation is common in reinforced con ...

Modeling lightning strikes to tall towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

In this chapter, we present a review of recent progress in the modeling of lightning strikes to tall structures. Since some tall structures are struck by lightning several tens of times per year, they can be used as ground-truth to measure and calibrate th ...

An Extension of the Guided Wave M‐Component Model Taking Into Account the Presence of a Tall Strike Object

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

We present in this paper an extension of the guided-wave M-component model of Rakov et al. considering the presence of a vertically elevated strike object. The tall object is represented as a lossless, uniform transmission line. Expressions for the current ...

Impedance and Admittance Formulas for a Multistair Model of Transmission Towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This article discusses formulas for the surge/ characteristic impedance of vertical conductors. Calculated results of the surge impedance are compared with measured results on vertical conductors and transmission towers. The accuracy of the available time- ...

Database of Embodied Quantity Outputs: Lowering Material Impacts Through Engineering

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Endrit Hoxha, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

Current studies and performance labels focus mainly on the operational energy demand of buildings due to heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and hot water, but they rarely account for embodied impacts. Performing a life cycle assessment (LCA) on an en ...

Moving on: Is Existenzminimum Still Relevant?

Bruno Marchand

In the inter-war period, progressive architects confronted the building of mass housing with an analogy with rational and functional workplaces. At the 2nd CIAM (Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne), held in Frankfurt in 1929, this was tested aga ...

De l’Existenzminimum à l’existence commune

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Alessandro Porotto

À l’intérieur des récits de la modernité architecturale, et au-delà dans sa divulgation générale, l’Existenzminimum, associé au deuxième Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne, est très souvent cantonné à un caractère évènementiel, étudié en tant que ...
