This study presents analysis of a benchmark building installed with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) while subjected to wind and earthquake loads. Different TMD schemes are applied to reduce dynamic responses of the building under wind and earthquakes. The ...

Buildings are the key components of urban areas and society as a complex system. Traditionally, the emissions embodied in construction materials have not been considered important, in comparison with impacts from the energy use when it comes to mitigating ...

Traditionally, the emissions embodied in construction materials have not been considered important; however, they are becoming crucial due to the short time-frame in which the emissions should be reduced. Moreover, evaluating the environmental burden ...
