Generation of Composite Surfaces With Bimodal Distribution and Contact Analysis for Optimum Tribological Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most contact analyses assume that the surface height distributions follow a single modal distribution. However, there are many surfaces with multi-modal roughness distributions, e.g., magnetic ...
Automated Generation of User Activity–Space Pairs in Space-Use Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Automation of space-use analysis consists of two parts: automated generation of activity-space pairs and automated computation of space utilization based on the pairs. However, existing user presence models require architects ...
Ontology for Representing Building Users’ Activities in Space-Use Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In spite of advances in formalizing space-use analysis (SUA) methods, which predict space utilization of buildings based on user activities and spaces, a detailed ontology that provides architects with a common vocabulary ...
Automated Mapping of User Activities onto Flexible Space in Space-Use Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexible space is an adaptable space that is increasingly used in many types of buildings because it increases space efficiency and contributes to sustainable development. However, the construction industry lacks a formalized ...
Integrated Approach to Evaluating the Effect of Indoor CO2 Concentration on Human Cognitive Performance and Neural Responses in Office Environment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: According to a guideline published by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), people spend 80%–90% of their lives indoors; therefore, managing indoor environmental quality ...
Schedule Delay Leading Indicators in Precast Concrete Construction Projects: Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Korean Cases
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper analyzed 19 precast concrete (PC) construction project cases from Korea using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to explore the relationship between the conditions of PC projects, observable at an early ...
EEG-Based Circumplex Model of Affect for Identifying Interindividual Differences in Thermal Comfort
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) guidelines, people spend about 80%–90% of their time indoors. One of the most important factors that directly affect ...
Digitalized and User-Centered System for Construction Site Layout Planning and Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study addresses project managers’ challenges in drafting, evaluating, and communicating construction site layout plans (CSLP) due to the need for a specialized CSLP system. It highlights the absence of a scientific ...
Recipes for Cost and Schedule Successes in Industrial Modular Projects: Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modularization is a well-established method that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the construction industry. However, the industry continues to struggle with its implementation, and not all executed modular ...
Automated Components–Vehicle Allocation Planning for Precast Concrete Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To move precast concrete (PC) components to the site through vehicles in a PC project, a construction manager must establish a PC components–vehicle allocation (CVA) plan everyday by integrating factory, transport, and ...
