Use of Pretreated Plastic Optical Fibers for Making Translucent Concrete-Based Architectural Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The light-transmitting plastic optical fibers (POFs) were treated with hydrofluoric acid and characterized for their wettability, surface topography, loss in mechanical properties, and fiber–matrix adhesion. The fibers ... -
Use of GIS for Identification and Resolution of Workspace Conflicts in Repetitive Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Effective planning of workspace on a construction site is necessary to execute work smoothly. Poor workspace planning results in workspace conflicts, site congestion, obstructions in work execution, and reduction in work ... -
Apparent Impact Sound Insulation Performance of Continuous Floating Concrete Toppings on Mass Timber Slab Floors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Mass timber panels including cross-laminated timber (CLT), dowel-laminated timber (DLT), and nail-laminated timber (NLT) are used increasingly as floor slabs in mass timber buildings and hybrid timber buildings. The sound ... -
Predicting Buildability Using the Surface Texture of 3D Printed Concrete Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)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 ... -
