The Stability

In recent years, with the rapid development of urban development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, China's construction industry has also achieved remarkable development. In order to meet the needs of urbanization, many large buildings and high-rise buildings have been built up. These buildings are usually large, so they put forward higher and higher requirements for the technical level of engineering construction. Whether it is for the stability or safety of buildings, it must be continuously improved. Basic design is a key part of the structural design of a building. For the safety of buildings, natural disasters or accidental injuries can have extremely bad effects on urban development and people's life. This paper briefly discusses the basic design analysis in architectural structure design, and seeks the key technology in this process to provide a guarantee for the safety of the building.

Partial Safety Factors

In structure design, for expressions with partial safety factors, partial safety factors and nominal value of loads are calculated based on the presupposition that the design reference period is 50 years. When the design reference period is not 50 years, it would cause unclear reliability of building structure by using expressions with partial safety factors following correlative codes yet. It may lead to hidden dangers in that way. In order to derive expressions with partial safety factors suitable for any design reference period, two useful methods are shown in this paper, modification of partial safety factors and modification of importance factor of structures. From results of analysis, we get the conclusions that it can assure the reliability index of the expression using the method of modification of partial safety factors, and the method of modification of importance factor of structures is very simple, but cannot assure the reliability index of the expression.

The Stability

In many industries, such as chemical industry, food industry and cement industry, rolling drum are widely used for the mixing of solids which in many cases is the mixture of particles of different sizes. The quality of product is directly determined by the mixing uniformity, thus it is desired to guarantee the stability of mixing extent of rolling drum. This paper describes a new structure design for the mixture of different sizes of particles, and an image-analysis-based experimental method to verify the effectiveness of this new structure. Results of the experiment showed that using the new structure would enable a faster mixing rate, and obtaia higher mixing extent relative to the traditional structure.

Negative Environmental Impact

Activities related to buildings contribute to a large degree to environmental degradation. It is necessary to reduce the negative environmental impact and resource consumption throughout the life cycle of the building. The aim is to optimize building performances in accordance with the integrated design objectives. The building structure, along with other elements of architectural space, deter-mines the performances of the building. The building structure should be designed and evaluated as a sub-system of the building, whose behaviour is directed towards the aim of system-building ? ecological quality. This paper deals with the analysis of structural design in accordance with integrated design objectives, which are derived from quantitative and qualitative indicators of ecological quality of building, within the criteria of environmental protection throughout the life cycle of the building. The overall objective is to reduce harmful emissions to the air, water and soil, as well as to increase the efficiency of resource use, that is, to reduce the intensity of their use. Based on subject analysis, the environmentally-based criteria for the design and evaluation of building structures are derived, in the function of creating the environmentally acceptable building solutions. The present analysis points to the necessity of applying a complex and systemic approach to structural design, in function of achieving the ecological quality of buildings.

Basic Concepts

Under the action of same loads, the sizes of deformation and internal force generated in the building structure are related to the inherent stiffness of member or structure itself. In structure design, these two basic concepts of section rigidity and member stiffness play a significant role in stress analysis of member or structure. This article summarizes the application of section rigidity and member stiffness which are often used in structural design by contrasting the definition and calculation of section rigidity with those of member stiffness, which can help the designers to understand the two concept of “rigidity” well and utilize them reasonably in real structure designs, and make the designed structural force conform to relative codes and regulations.

Intense Debate

Against the background of European standardisation of structural engineering principles, there is intense debate about the extent to which self-regulation and internal inspections can replace independent inspection of calculations relating to static equilibrium, project scheduling and execution of construction work by a third party. There is also discussion about whether the likelihood of errors decreases and, to a certain extent, whether errors would be unlikely or would not have a significant effect on the stability of buildings, as engineers become better qualified. This contribution examines both questions and gives examples from the author’s practical experience.

Iterative Evaluation

Smartphone users are striving for easy-to-learn and use mobile apps user interfaces. Accomplishing these qualities demands an iterative evaluation of the Mobile User Interface (MUI). Several studies stress the value of providing a MUI with a pleasing look and feel to engaging end-users. The MUI, therefore, needs to be free from all kinds of structural aesthetic defects. Such defects are indicators of poor design decisions interfering with the consistency of a MUI and making it more difficult to use. To this end, we are proposing a tool (Aesthetic Defects DEtection Tool (ADDET)) to determine the structural aesthetic dimension of MUIs. Automating this process is useful to designers in evaluating the quality of their designs. Our approach is composed of two modules. (1) Metrics assessment is based on the static analysis of a tree-structured layout of the MUI. We used 15 geometric metrics (also known as structural or aesthetic metrics) to check various structural properties before a defect is triggered. (2) Defects detection: The manual combination of metrics and defects are time-consuming and user-dependent when determining a detection rule. Thus, we perceive the process of identification of defects as an optimization problem. We aim to automatically combine the metrics related to a particular defect and optimize the accuracy of the rules created by assigning a weight, representing the metric importance in detecting a defect. We conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed tool in computing metrics and detecting defects. The findings affirm the tool’s reliability when assessing a MUI’s structural design problems with 71% accuracy.
