Motion control of long span horizontal structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Traditional approaches to structural design presuppose strength to be the dominant design requirement. But following new technologies and design methods, this assumption that strength requirements dominate is being challenged. ...
The progressive synthesis of architecture and engineering in modern bridge design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
History states that architects and engineers rarely operate in a peaceful environment as each have their own specific agendas to fulfill. The architect appeals to the plastic form of a building before tending to its ...
User interfaces for multimodal systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
As computer systems become more powerful and complex, efforts to make computer interfaces more simple and natural become increasingly important. Natural interfaces should be designed to facilitate communication in ways ...
Comparison of three widely-used aerodynamic modifications that minimize the impact of wind loads on tall buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
For tall buildings, motion caused by wind is usually the most damaging to the lateral support system. As a result, engineers have invented many different methods to limit the motion of the buildings, for example dampers, ...
Development of a ceramic water filter for Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Countries like Nepal face tough challenges in terms of providing safe, clean drinking water for their citizens. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 5 million people in Nepal lack access to safe drinking ...
Dynamic analysis of concrete coupled wall structures : a parametric study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Concrete coupled wall structure is a system that can efficiently dissipate energy under the effect of lateral loads. It has been widely used in medium height buildings for several decades. While researchers have conducted ...
Collaborative design process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
An analysis of the remediation systems on the contaminant plume at the Plainville Landfill
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The applicability of advanced composite structural members
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Study of filtration for point-of-use drinking water treatment in Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
