A Comparative Study of the Wind Load Effect on High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: Tall buildings are going up all over the world, so it increases the importance of design for wind-inducedbuilding motion. Tall structures that comply with lateral drift requirements specified in building codescan still experience significant swaying under strong wind conditions. Severe wind-related disasters inIndia and the United States have highlighted the fact that many existing buildings are not entirely wind-resistant. This underscores the need to reevaluate and enhance the computational techniques …

Community Resilience and Adaptability on Built Environment: A Study with reference to post-tsunami resettlement at Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka
Abstract: This study investigates the community resilience with reference to a tsunami resettlement at Ambalangoda in Sri Lanka. The theoretical framework used in the research is based on the “Adaptive Cycle of Resilience” developed by Holling and Gunderson. This cycle consists of four different phases; exploitation, conservation, release and reorganization. Any social system which is adapting to the changing external conditions would go through these stages of the cycle. The study …
