 Abstract

The use of steel structures in seismic -prone areas is a well-established effective approach due to their strength and ductility, which enables them to withstand the forces generated during earthquakes. Steel shear walls, in particular, are considered one of the best options for seismic resistance. However, recent advancements in steel production have introduced a new material called Low-Yield Point Steel (LYP Steel), Characterised by extremely low yield strength and high elongation properties. This new steel material has the potential to offer unique benefits in seismic design. In the current study, we delve into the seismic performance of a wide spectrum of low yield point steel plate shear walls, encompassing various stiffness configurations and perforation types, including square, circular, and elliptical. The research accounts for shear walls that are unstiffened, horizontally and vertically stiffened, diagonally stiffened, and combinations thereof. Additionally, the impact of varying perforation sizes is considered. This comprehensive investigation seeks to shed light on the diverse structural behaviours exhibited by these shear wall configurations when subjected to seismic forces. The outcomes aim to provide valuable insights into optimizing the use of low yield point steel plate shear walls, guiding engineers and architects in the pursuit of resilient and efficient building designs that meet the evolving demands of seismic-prone regions.

 Abstract

Medicine delivery systems are developed to maximize medicine efficacy and minimize side goods. As medicine delivery technologies ameliorate, the medicine becomes safer and more comfortable for cases to use. During the last seven decades, extraordinary progress has been made in medicine delivery technologies, similar as systems for long- term delivery for months and times, localized delivery, and targeted delivery. The advances, still, will face a coming phase considering the unborn technologies we need to overcome numerous physicochemical walls for new expression development and natural unknowns for treating colorful conditions. For immediate and long- term progress into the future, the medicine delivery field should use time and coffers for further translatable exploration ideas. The medicine delivery discipline has to continue working on introductory, applied, translational, and clinical exploration in a combined manner to produce medicine delivery systems that work for cases. It's a time to concentrate our attention on effects that count. It's also a time to develop realistic exploration pretensions and issues, diversify medicine delivery technologies, and take the collaborative responsibility for our conduct. Nanotechnology has eventually and forcefully entered the realm of medicine delivery. Performances of intelligent medicine delivery systems are continuously bettered with the purpose to maximize remedial exertion and to minimize undesirable side- goods. This review describes the advanced medicine delivery systems grounded on micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and Dendrimers. Polymeric carbon nanotubes and numerous others demonstrate a broad variety of useful parcels. This review emphasizes the main conditions for developing new nanotech- nology- grounded medicine delivery systems. Medicine targeting to specific organs and apkins has come one of the critical trials of the century since the use of free medicines in conventional lozenge forms generally involves difficulties in achieving the target point at the applicable cure after or during a proper time period. Accordingly, the hunt for new medicine delivery approaches and new modes of action represent one of the frontier exploration areas. New medicine delivery systems include Lepidic, proteic and polymeric technologies to give new sustained medicine delivery with better body distribution, medicine protection from harsh external terrain and avoidance of medicine concurrence. Numerous of these technologies have reached the request thus proving the benefits of these new carriers. This review covers the generalities of those new carriers and their new advances in medicine delivery.

 Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has the potential to significantly improve productivity, coordination, visualization, documentation, and waste reduction in the field of structural engineering. However, achieving these benefits requires smooth data transfer from the BIM platform to structural analysis or Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software, which can be hindered by challenges in interoperability. This thesis aims to examine the possibilities of converting from the Tekla Structures BIM platform to commonly used FEM programs, including Staad.Pro, Etabs, SAP2000, SOFiSTiK, Dlubal (RFEM), SCIA (SCIA Engineer), and Robot (Autodesk), for improved structural analysis and design. The study includes three case studies, one each in concrete, steel, and composite structures, where load-bearing data is added to the central Tekla models to enable interoperability. We first review the use of BIM in structural engineering, including the impacts on structural design and workflow, key benefits, and challenges during use. We then define and theoretically research the three main levels of interoperability between BIM and FEM software: direct native file exchange, direct link or bi-directional data exchange, and IFC (Industry Foundation Class). Our case studies demonstrate the benefits of using BIM and FEM interoperability for improved structural analysis and design, including the early detection and correction of design errors, and improved collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors. Overall, this thesis contributes to the field of structural engineering by providing practical guidance on the use of BIM and FEM interoperability for improved structural analysis and design.
