At Microarchitectural level, multi-core processor, as a complex System on Chip, has sophisticated on-chip components including cores, shared caches, interconnects and system controllers such as memory and ethernet controllers. At technological level, architects should consider the device types forecast in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). Energy simulation enables architects to study two important…

Unreinforced masonry (URM) wall is one of the oldest types of walls used around the world. During earthquakes, URM walls present a real danger to life safety due to their behavior characterized by a brittle failure caused by their feeble shear resistance to in-plane loads, which make their strengthening necessary. Numerous studies had been used…

This paper investigates the in plane behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls externally strengthening on both sides by different configurations of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of using the strengthening systems to improve the in plane behavior of masonry walls, the experimental program was conducted by testing…
