The disclosed technology uses signaling devices and sensors that are distributed throughout a building in order to provide egress guidance to people located in a building when an emergency occurs. Such signaling devices can be located at or near doors, windows, and/or other junction points between...
It is intrinsically non-linear even in the elastic range due to cracking, and its ductility in flexure is strongly affected by the axial and shear loads supported concurrently.The paper discusses the influence of modeling assumptions and analysis methods on the predicted performance of an idealized ...
