Real Records Scaling Factors Optimization To Fit The Syrian Design Spectra Using Genetic Algorithm, Seraj Jdyd
Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث
After selecting real seismic records it is necessary to scale these records to match the intensity of the earthquake expected for the site. Generally, scaling can be made by ground motions uniform scaling in time domain which is simply scaled up or down the ground motions uniformly to best match (in average) the target spectrum within a period range of interest. It’s an engineer’s job to find the best scaling factors to best match the target spectrum, which is a complex task, so we employed the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in finding those scaling factors to achieve the best results.

The Provision Of Educational Needs Of The Old City Of Sana'a According To The Concept Of Sustainable Preservation, Ali Amer
Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث
The idea of sustainable development begun in the eighties of the 20th century, soon after, this concepts started to be use in different fields, including the preservation of historical cities, which known as sustainable preservation. Sustainable preservation cares about using the valuable cultural heritage to meet the modern needs of the historical cities as a way of continuously preserving the heritage, and to bring it to the next generations as good as possible.
The current lack of educational environment in the old city of Sanaa is one of the main dangers to preserve the authentically of the ancient city, especially …
