Abstract: Industrial steel chimneys are in the group of the tallest shell shaped structures, and these structures are one of the most important parts of power plants. The main rule of chimneys is transferring Emissions resulting from fuels to the higher level of ground. In this article the capacity curve of the structure calculated by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) and nonlinear static analysis (pushover). Therefore, ductility, over strength, Deflection amplification factor and response modification coefficient were computed by considering capacity curve. For modeling of the chimney, finite element software ABAQUS is used. The results show good agreement between response modification coefficient obtained from IDA and poshover analysis with the coefficient that suggested by AISC code. Results show that response modification coefficient suggested by AISC code is conservative. At the second part two opening were added at the bottom of the chimney, and time history analyses for ten different ear

Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a research which sought to investigate the readiness to Integrate Sustainable construction Principles into Curriculum Design for Built Environment Professional programs in the Nigerian Universities. Developing the knowledge and understanding that construction professionals acquire of sustainable construction practice leads to considerable improvement in the environmental performance of the construction sector. Integrating sustainable environmental issues within the built environment education curricula provide the basis of this research. An integration of sustainable development principles into the universities built environment professional programmes are carried out with a view of finding solutions to the key issues identified. The perspectives of academia have been assessed and findings tested for validity through the analysis of primary quantitative data that has been collected. The secondary data generated has shown that there are significant di
