  • Architectural
    Architectural Comparison of heat loss and air infiltration through the openings of Qajar and Pahlavi era houses in Tabriz M. Gane1, L. Balilan Asl2,*, D. Sattarzade2, F. P. Moran3 Received: August 2014, Accepted: November 2014 Abstract The rapidly growing world energy use has already raised concerns over energy resources and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since the global contribution from residential buildings towards energy consumption, has steadily increased between 20% and 40% and as large openings have considerable energy and heat loss in dwellings, this paper establishes a coefficient of heat loss and air infiltration through large openings in 10 historic dwellings (Qajar and Pahlavi era) in Tabriz, Iran. The results show that although Qajar era houses have larger windows than Pahlavi era equivalents, the rate of heat loss of openings per square meter of facades (Ĥ) and the air infiltration per square meter of facades (FA) of openings for Pahlavi era houses is more than the Qajar era equivalents. Therefore Openings of Qajar era houses have been designed more efficient than those of the Pahlavi era. Although the generally accepted way of building energy saving houses in cold climate has been to use small windows, the results indicates that instead of exploiting small openings in facades, it is possible to enlarge the windows to get better lighting conditions and simultaneously decrease the area of openings per square meter of facades for lower heat loss through these openings. Keywords: Heat loss, Air infiltration, Qajar, Pahlavi, House, Openings. 1. Introduction which building occupants control the indoor environment [6, 7]. Increasing population and the rising energy demand The cultural value of traditional buildings as part of the has led to a vast increase in the consumption of fossil built environment raises the question of their energy use.

Given the rapid growth of the function and forms of cities, meeting the requirements of population changes aspects within the context of variable risks overshadowed by environmental challenges (e.g., climate change and air pollution) highly comes to the fore. In this regard, this study aims to investigate the interactions between urban sustainability coupled with urban pollution in order to deals with an integrated approach adopted to improve the air quality of the city of Tabriz at northwest Iran. In this way, six pollution assessment stations within the study area have been examined by using the geographic information system (GIS) to measure the level of pollution in the city. Overall, results of the study revealed the point that pollution level experienced an increasing trend and the weather is being polluted not merely based on emissions from cars in downtowns at the main streets but also based on the nearby industrial places results in a high concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) gas very high at areas with high road traffic while that of sulfur oxides (SOx) varied differently.

Karaans were cut into the Lahars (volcanic mudflow or debris flow) of Mount Sahand. The cone form of the houses is the result of lahar flow consisting of porous round and angular pumice together with other volcanic particles that were positioned in a grey acidic matrix. After the eruption of Sahand these materials were naturally moved and formed the rocks of Kandovan.

  • Long-Period Ground Motion Simulation for NTF Fault Scenario
    Long-period Ground Motion Simulation for NTF Fault NearScenario-source in Tabriz energy City released of 2003 Bam earthquake using slip-weakening law Paper Title Line 1 Mohammad Reza Ghayamghamian International institute of earthquake engineering and seismology, Tehran, Iran Afrooz Rajool Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran SUMMARY: Tabriz, one of the metropolises of Iran, is a megacity situated at the northwest of the Iran with more than 1.5 million inhabitants. North Tabriz Fault (NTF) is a major seismogenic fault in NW of Iran that crossed north of Tabriz city and directly threaten metropolitan area of Tabriz. The NTF would have been the source of several major historical earthquakes in the past. Therefore, it is na important task to identify the characteristics of long-period strong ground motions for seismic hazard mitigation plan and design of long structures. The kinematic model with non-uniform slip distribution on the fault plane is employed to simulate velocity waveforms at the sites. To this end, the source parameters for the worst rupture scenario of NTF are defined. Then, the long-period velocity motions for this rupture scenario are simulated at 300 points in a grid of 1 km × 1 km covering whole Tabriz region. The simulated motions clearly show near-fault directivity pulse with different peaks and periods depending on the site location to the fault. The peak velocity (PGV) is found to be in the range of 100 to 255 cm/sec. Furthermore, the response spectra for simulated motions are also calculated, which their peak values vary in the range of 200-330 cm/sec for velocity.
