Non-Linear Static
Push-over Analysis
The static pushover analysis is becoming a popular tool for seismic
performance evaluation of existing and new structures. The expectation is that
the pushover analysis will provide adequate information on seismic demands
imposed by the design ground motion on the structural system and its
components. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the basic concepts on
which the pushover analysis can be based, assess the accuracy of pushover
predictions, identify conditions under which the pushover will provide
adequate information and, perhaps more importantly, identify cases in which
the pushover predictions will be inadequate or even misleading.

Whether you are working with existing furnishings and
fabrics or “starting from scratch” with an empty room, you should always use
the elements and principles of design as a guide in choosing everything. The
elements are your tools or raw materials, much like paints are the basics to a
painter. The elements of design include space, line, form, color, and texture.
The principles of design relate to how you use these elements. The principles
of design are balance, emphasis, rhythm, proportion and scale, and harmony and
unity.

Washington, D.C. “The change in temperature serves as a signal to start
focusing more on the indoors to get ready for winter.”
Roman shades are a classic window
treatment. They are simple, elegant, and can fit in any style of room. Roman
shades are made from a single of fabric panel. A cord is thread through loops
running along the length of the fabric at regular intervals. When the cord is

shades are made of fabric, but bamboo Roman shades fit in rooms with an earthy
or Asian décor.
All homebuyers want as much house
for their money as they can get. Many buyers are looking for a larger home
because they've outgrown their current one, and especially desire more closet
and cupboard space as well as larger rooms.
Visual space makes your home appear larger by allowing
the buyer's eye to move from one side of the room to the other without
interruption, giving the illusion of more space and openness. In contrast, a
cluttered room stops the eye repeatedly and gives the illusion of less space.
Roman shades are a simple and
practical window treatment to accent a room or to provide privacy from bright
sun or noisy neighbors. A Roman shade is a piece of fabric that is mounted at
the top of a window. The fabric is pleated such that when the Roman shade’s
string is pulled, the fabric folds up in regular intervals. Not only does it
look better than a boring plastic shade, it uses less fabric than other window
treatments making it a cheaper alternative to ornate window treatments.

composite of mind, body and spirit. All these three in proper coordination,

gets created.

Noted Italian designers developed
the first bean bag chairs in the 1960’s. Their creation was called the ‘Sacco’,
and was at the time described as an ‘anatomical armchair’. It became the first
mass produced bean bag furniture. Just like its counterpart these days, the
Sacco was filled with polystyrene beads that make them lightweight and easy to
mold to the shape of the body. While enhancements to its size and shape have
occurred over time, in general the bean bag chair form remains true to the
design of the Sacco from the 1960’s.

roots, the function of today’s kitchen has broadened to become a social
gathering space for friends and a homework space for kids. Fall is a good time

Interior decorating is that medium
which can make your closed spaces convey to the observer a lot about you and
your lifestyle through strategic use of elements which range from the visual
(color, lighting, form) to the tactile (surface, shape, texture) to the
auditory (noise, echo). The more alluring the result, the more the aesthetic,
practical and technical appreciation for these elements the designer must
have.
