Single layer two-way grid shell with in-plane and out-of-plane tension members is a new type of single-layer latticed shell roof. This study treats the effects of tension member installation on the buckling load and strength of a single layer two-way grid cylindrical shell roof by the numerical method. The tension members are installed to stiffen the rigidity of a single layer two-way grid shell roof and improve its stability behavior. Tension member installation and placement pattern is focused as both diagonal members of two-way grids and out-of-plane stiffened members in a cylindrical surface. The diagonal member and the out-of-plane member are used to increase the in-plane and the out-of-plane rigidity of a single layer two-way grid shell, respectively. The tension member placement pattern, the load distribution patterns, the initial imperfections and the initial axial force are considered for the numerical calculation parameters. It is confirmed by the numerical analysis that the tension members in out-of-plane and diagonals caused the increase in the buckling and strength of two-way grid shell.

This study was carried out to evaluate the load distribution along the two feet in subjects with rotated mandibles. This study used the Staticus device from Smylist® to map the foot pressure loads after the three jump test. Data was obtained from 20 subjects. The Staticus data was acquired by the Smylist® analytic software and the load distribution patterns were obtained. Subjects were selected so as to have at least 75% of them exhibiting an asymmetrical vertically displaced pattern. The Smylist® concept has presented a logical sequence of events which leads from a rotated mandible to overloading of one leg based on the complexity of the mandibular rotation. This is the first study ever to digitally ascertain the variation in the load patterns. It was found that in the subjects who exhibited a vertical foot position discrepancy also had a discrepancy in the load patterns and mandibular rotations.

Friction control systems have been widely used as one of the efficient and cost effective solutions to control structural damage during strong earthquakes. However, the height-wise distribution of slip loads can significantly affect the seismic performance of the strengthened frames. In this study, a practical design methodology is developed for more efficient design of friction wall dampers by performing extensive nonlinear dynamic analyses on 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-story RC frames subjected to seven spectrum-compatible design earthquakes and five different slip load distribution patterns. The results show that a uniform cumulative distribution can provide considerably higher energy dissipation capacity than the commonly used uniform slip load pattern. It is also proved that for a set of design earthquakes, there is an optimum range for slip loads that is a function of number of stories. Based on the results of this study, an empirical equation is proposed to calculate a more efficient slip load distribution of friction wall dampers for practical applications. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated through several design examples.

A comprehensive parametric study is carried out on the longitudinal dynamics of a freight train having different loading patterns. A nonlinear time domain model, with one locomotive and nine wagons, is considered. In another simulation the train model has two locomotives and eight wagons, and in both models, every two cars are connected to each other through an automatic coupler. The effects of different load distribution patterns on the coupler forces for the cases of ascending, descending, constant, ascending-descending and descending-ascending are investigated through a parametric sensitivity study. In order to investigate how an empty wagon and its position in a train-consist model may affect the overall longitudinal dynamic behavior of freight trains a second computer simulation model has been developed. Moreover, the best possible position for the second locomotive with the objective of reaching to the lower longitudinal forces, in the case that an additional locomotive is included will be discussed. Finally, an investigation is carried out to determine the kind of couplers with their relevant specifications that must be installed in different positions of a train-consist in order to improve the longitudinal train dynamic behavior.

Research on the condition of the nesting habitat of Chelonia mydas (green turtle) in Pangumbahan Beach, Ujung Genteng, South Sukabumi has been carried out. Data retrieval is done 6 times for 2 days, 27-28 November 2017 at 3 observation stations. The abiotic parameters measured include surface temperature and depth of 50 cm, surface humidity and depth of 50 cm, beach width, beach slope, and the size of sand grains. While the biotic parameters measured were density, relative density, the frequency of attendance, and distribution patterns of Pandanus tectorius (sea pandanus) vegetation. Based on the results of data processing, the biophysical conditions in Pangumbahan Beach are still suitable for the Chelonia mydas nesting habitat. It also got clear evidence of the many Chelonia mydas landings during the data collection.

Candi Village in Bandungan District is one of the Chili Supply Sub-district for Semarang Regency and surrounding area has agro-climate suitable for the development of various agricultural commodities supported by wide market opportunity, so it is suitable for agricultural business development. The purpose of this research is to identify the distribution pattern of red pepper, to know each value of commodity chains and distribution, to design alternative distribution pattern of red pepper.Population in this research is 88 respondents from 735 of member of chilli farmer in Desa Candi with total area of 150,3 hectare consisting of rice field, moor and yard. Methods of data analyst using quantitative approach is done by using Margin Marketing Analysis. The results include: (1) The pattern of distribution of existing farming business grows naturally in accordance with the developments and needs of the perpetrators, the actors in this pattern are farmers, wholesalers, collectors, wholesalers, retailers, consumers. (2) The value of the red chili commodity chain in this naturally grown pattern often makes pricing more dominant by traders, so farmers receive prices slightly lower than market prices. (3) Some obstacles faced in distributing red peppers are the difficulty of changing the mindset of the community about advanced farming, this is best utilized by market participants (chain of distribution) who are more informed and always keep abreast of market dynamics. Conventional marketing pattern by farmer cause price level accepted by farmer in general relatively smaller compared to price received by trader. Suggestions shorten the chain of distribution patterns, increase the added value of products and improve the bargaining position of farmers and for the government always guide / accompany farmers in getting accurate market information, which can be used as farmers in bargaining, Increased market transparency can act as a trigger for the functioning of a market, improved competition and increased adaptation to meet the needs of supply and opportunity to compete with market prices. Desa Candi di Kabupaten Bandungan adalah salah satu Kecamatan Penyedia Cabai untuk Kabupaten Semarang dan sekitarnya memiliki agroklimat yang cocok untuk pengembangan berbagai komoditas pertanian yang didukung oleh peluang pasar yang luas, sehingga sangat cocok untuk pengembangan bisnis pertanian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pola distribusi cabai merah, untuk mengetahui masing-masing nilai rantai komoditas dan distribusi, untuk merancang alternatif pola distribusi cabai merah. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 88 responden dari 735 anggota petani cabai di Desa Candi dengan total luas 150,3 hektar yang terdiri dari sawah, tegalan dan pekarangan. Metode analis data menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dilakukan dengan menggunakan Analisis Pemasaran Margin. Hasil meliputi: (1) Pola distribusi usaha pertanian yang ada tumbuh secara alami sesuai dengan perkembangan dan kebutuhan pelaku, pelaku dalam pola ini adalah petani, pedagang besar, pengumpul, pedagang besar, pedagang besar, pengecer, konsumen. (2) Nilai rantai komoditas cabai merah dalam pola yang dikembangkan secara alami ini sering membuat penetapan harga lebih dominan oleh para pedagang, sehingga petani menerima harga yang sedikit lebih rendah daripada harga pasar. (3) Beberapa kendala yang dihadapi dalam mendistribusikan paprika merah adalah sulitnya mengubah pola pikir masyarakat tentang pertanian maju, hal ini paling baik digunakan oleh pelaku pasar (rantai distribusi) yang lebih banyak informasi dan selalu mengikuti perkembangan dinamika pasar. Pola pemasaran konvensional oleh petani menyebabkan tingkat harga yang diterima petani pada umumnya relatif lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan harga yang diterima pedagang. Saran mempersingkat rantai pola distribusi, meningkatkan nilai tambah produk dan meningkatkan posisi tawar petani dan bagi pemerintah selalu membimbing / menemani petani dalam mendapatkan informasi pasar yang akurat, yang dapat digunakan sebagai petani dalam tawar-menawar, Peningkatan transparansi pasar dapat bertindak sebagai pemicu berfungsinya pasar, meningkatnya kompetisi dan peningkatan adaptasi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasokan dan peluang untuk bersaing dengan harga pasar.
