Background Transtibial amputees encounter stairs and steps during their daily activities. The excessive pressure between residual limb/socket may reduce the walking capability of transtibial prosthetic users during ascent and descent on... more
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of a winding glass stairway by observing the behavior of stair users and to identify issues that should be studied in a laboratory setting. A checklist for coding stair use behaviors was... more
Slender monumental stairs are major architectural features in many high-end building structures. Architectural requirements for these are usually very aggressive, with long spans and slender stringers being the norm. The resulting low... more
Fire research has provided engineers with practical models and data that can be used to undertake perforinance based fire engineering analysis. This form of analysis is demonstrated in the development of a fire safety design strategy for... more
Previously, the study of 3D joint angle has been proven to give better interpretations on the joint and muscular activities. However, it has not been widely discovered and usually limited to normal subject and level walking activity. The... more
La obra del arquitecto almeriense Fernando Cassinello Pérez (Almería, 1928-Madrid, 1975)ha sido escasamente publicada a pesar de ser prolífica y de calidad. El desarrollo de su profesión descansa sobre tres pilares: la producción... more

En este artículo se ofrece una visión de conjunto sobre la arquitectura civil –tanto privada como pública– levantada en tierras aragonesas a lo largo del Quinientos. Partiendo del análisis de las tipologías y prestando una atención... more
This paper reviews empirical studies in product modeling and issues of CAAD, and then proposes a new way of thinking in object modeling for abstract design concepts – by using stairs as the subject of study because of its systematic... more
