Social Welfare-Based Human Comfort Aggregation Model to Facilitate Healthy and Comfortable Indoor Environments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multioccupancy environment (e.g., classroom, open office space, auditorium) typically features unbalanced ambient conditions such as temperatures, humidity, CO2 levels, noise levels, and lighting conditions. It is also ...
Building Upward: Methodological Approach to Defining Criteria and Guidelines for Interventions for Italian Post-War Housing Refurbishment in a Seismic Area
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Refurbishment of existing buildings, in order to reduce environmental impact, both in terms of land take and CO2 emissions, must be one of the priorities of the whole building sector. Quantitatively, residential housing ...
Planning a Relocation Method to Preserve Structural Integrity During the Holistic Relocation of Historical Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Architectural assets, regarded as the common heritage of the whole of humanity, can be passed onto following generations without losing their structural integrity and authentic architectural characteristics by means of ...
Statistical Methods Applied to Optimize Perforated Façade Design for Daylight Availability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Perforated solar screens (PSS) are important to consider in building façade design because of their contribution to sustainability through daylighting. PSS façade design requires the consideration of many potential design ...
Friction-Based Connectors for Timber Shear Walls: Static Experimental Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Timber shear wall systems dissipate energy through nail bending, nail withdrawal, and crushing of the sheathing around the nail hole. This dissipation mechanism is a pinching hysteretic response. Use of high-damping devices ...
Effect Evaluation for the Regeneration of Old Industrial Buildings Based on Multilevel Extension Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To promote the development of the regeneration of old industrial buildings and reasonably evaluate the effects of regeneration projects, we propose an evaluation model for the regeneration of old industrial buildings based ...
Analyzing the Quality Problems and Defects of Design Deliverables on Building Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Since poor design deliverables can generate significant project cost overruns and schedule delays, producing high-quality design deliverables is critical. To improve design quality on building projects, this study focuses ...
Application of the Glass Failure Prediction Model to Flat Odd-Shaped Glass Using Finite-Element Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Model building codes and standards in the United States find their bases in a probabilistic model of glass load resistance (LR). In general, architectural flat glass design predicated on these model building codes and ...
Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment of a Living Building
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A whole building life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed on a Living Building, focusing on impacts from green building materials, a decentralized water system, a net-positive use phase, and the end-of-life of structural ...
Rotational Stiffness of Wood Truss Joints in Lateral and Diagonal Bracing and Truss–Wall Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The modeling and structural analysis of roof systems composed of metal plate–connected wood trusses (MPCWTs) require a detailed understanding of the rotational stiffness associated with various connections of the MPCWTs ...
