RISVisualizing Global-Force Distributions in Finite-Element Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although computer analysis has created invaluable benefits in structural design, several structural experts have expressed concern about the impact of computers on younger engineers. Computers clearly help develop insight ...
In-Plane Monotonic and Cyclic Racking Load Testing of Structural Insulated Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural insulated panel (SIP) wall systems have been used in residential and light commercial buildings for the past 60 years. Lack of sufficient published research results on racking load performance and understanding ...
Evaluating Energy Impact of People's Behavior in a House: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on the monitoring and analysis of an existing house, additional evidence is brought forth on the major impact of people's behavior on the energy performance of a house. The following items are discussed: (1) The ...
Deterioration of Terrazzo
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Terrazzo installation is often perceived as an art, left to individual contractors and craftsmen to implement tried-and-true application and repair methods. In this context, architects and engineers often relegate themselves ...
Curtain Wall Designs for Wind and Blast: Three Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current design for curtain walls subjected to wind, wind-borne debris, and blast contain relatively new structural requirements for the curtain wall designer to address. These new criteria are defined and discussed in ...
Lessons from an Outpatient Surgery Center
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This technical note briefly reviews the problems that our firm, Johnson Engineering Associates (JEA), encountered with both design development and procurement procedures in the development of a small ambulatory surgical ...
Evaluation of Clay Brick Durability Using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many failures in the building envelope are associated with disintegration of the brick veneer. The evaluation of durability is important for proper selection of the brick. The American and the Canadian standard methods for ...
Economic Analysis of Thermal Energy Storage Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes an investigation of the economic performance of a central chiller plant with thermal energy storage (TES) operating in a hotel in California and an office building in Wisconsin for the following three ...
Contradictions in Use of Collar Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recommendations for the use of collar beams—horizontal timbers connecting opposing rafter pairs in gable-type wood-frame roofs—are often confusing and contradictory. This is due in large part to their peculiar history: ...
Design of Low-Rise Buildings for Extreme Wind Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Damages from hurricanes and various windstorm events represent a loss of several billions of dollars in the United States. A loss of $30 billion was attributed to Hurricane Andrew alone in Florida in 1993. In 2004 and 2005, ...
