Abstract: The buildability of three-dimensional (3D) printable concrete is commonly measured by the number of layers that can be printed before a collapse or excessive deformations. Buildability depends on rheological properties and ...

Abstract: Warm climates pose challenges to building energy consumption and pedestrian comfort. Knowledge of the wind flow around buildings can help address these issues through improving natural ventilation, energy use, and outdoor ...

Abstract: Many engineering tasks involve the search for good solutions among many possibilities. In most cases, tasks are too complex to be modeled completely and their solution spaces often contain local minima. Therefore, classical ...

Abstract: System identification involves identification of a behavioral model that best explains the measured behavior of a structure. This research uses a strategy of generation and iterative filtering of multiple candidate models ...

Abstract: System identification using multiple-model strategies may involve thousands of models with several parameters. However, only a few models are close to the correct model. A key task involves finding which parameters are ...

Abstract: Flexibility has been touted as an important requirement for firms to survive and prosper in turbulent and volatile economic environments. The aim of this research is to investigate the relevance of organizational flexibility ...

Abstract: The ability to predict and develop organizational flexibility is important for firms to survive and prosper in volatile business environments. The aim of this study is to investigate the constituents of and the constructs ...
