Abstract: There is a growing use of green roofs on urban buildings around the world with a focus on reducing energy consumption of buildings. Energy consumption of buildings results mostly from heating or cooling of indoor spaces. When mechanical air conditioners are operating, windows (natural ventilation) are shut. This paper studied 2 field models, one wi... Show More

Abstract: Earthquakes can cause a lot of damages to buried pipelines. When pipelines are placed in a seismically active area, in addition to safety, performance, and environmental criteria, ground displacement hazards such as fault movements should be considered carefully. Therefore, the present study was aimed to evaluate the response of buried pipelines cr... Show More
