To overcome these limitations, this research aims to investigate the response of base plate connections with hollow steel section (HSS) columns under lateral loading with the aid of finite element analysis. The objective is to address the limitations of the design guideline and to observe the ...
Wind Earthquake Base isolation Post-disaster steel building Performance-based design Multi-hazard excitation 1. Introduction Base isolation is an efficient technique for seismic risk mitigation; it improves occupants' comfort, minimizes non-structural losses and ensures functionality during and post-earthquake...
HEK293T cells were first seeded in a 6-well plate with a seeding density of 4.8 × 105cells per well. After 24 h, HEK293T cells were then transfected with 22 nM (50pmoles per well) final concentration of respective siRNAs using RNAiMax transfection reagent (Invitrogen 13778) accor...
