DOI: 10.1007/s00158-018-1921-7
Abstract: Bracing is commonly used to provide resistance to lateral forces in building structures. However, traditional bracing design approaches appear not to be underpinned by clear fundamental principles. Here, theoretically optimal arrangements of bracing members are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11630-019-1122-8
Abstract: This paper establishes an evaluation index system for existing building green-retrofitting considering different building majors. The weights of indicators at different levels were determined by using decision-making analytic hierarchy process. According to fuzzy mathematics theory,… read more here.
