Quantification of Residential Energy Consumption Reduction Using Glass-Modified Asphalt Shingle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is defined as the differences in temperatures between urban and rural areas caused by the thermal properties of urban materials, urban geometry, and air pollution. Rooftops are playing ... -
Seismic and Direct Costs Comparison of Conventional and Nonconventional Structural Systems Used for an Irregular Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Although current structural design philosophy privileges the notion of structural regularity, contemporary architecture includes building irregularities. Often, conventional structural design is forced on nonconventional ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Review of <i>The Conservation and Structural Restoration of Architectural Heritage</i> by Giorgio Croci
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Automated Green Building Rating System for Building Designs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)As the sustainability of building projects has become of great concern for construction professionals, a number of different green building rating systems have been developed to help ensure that building projects are ... -
Wind Effects on Roofs with High-Profile Tiles: Experimental Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Hurricane wind–induced damage to the roofs of residential buildings has raised concerns regarding design provisions and construction practices. Current code provisions on wind loads on roofs are mainly based on testing of ... -
Computational Modeling of Translucent Concrete Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The last decade has witnessed a heightened interest in making buildings more sustainable, which has been fueled largely by the increase in energy costs and advancements in manufacturing technology. Lighting consumes a ... -
Using Eco-Indicator 99 to Evaluate Building Technologies under Life Cycle Assessment Uncertainties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The primary advantage offered by the Eco-indicator 99 (EI99) methodology is its ability to consider life cycle assessment (LCA) uncertainties. EI99 considers these uncertainties through a perspective-specified set that ... -
Outstanding Paper of the Year for 2010
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011) -
Impact of Low-Income Occupant Behavior on Energy Consumption in Hot-Humid Climates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Within the residential sector, the low-income segment accounts for a significant amount of energy consumption. In addition to poor housing conditions in the low-income sector, occupant behavior is one of the most important ... -
Life-Cycle Assessment Comparison for Long-Span Cable and Truss Structural Systems: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The architectural engineer has a considerable influence on the sustainability of buildings. The reduction in environmental impacts of building materials, as measured by life-cycle assessment (LCA), has recently become a ... -
Comparison of Traditional and Bayesian Calibration Techniques for Gray-Box Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Bayesian and nonlinear least-squares methods of calibration were evaluated and compared for gray-box modeling of a retail building. Gray-box model calibration is one form of system identification and is examined here with ... -
Editor’s Note

Feasibility Study of Determination of Seismic Performance Factors for Structural Insulated Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The authors present the results of a feasibility study to apply the major steps of the methodology to quantify seismic performance factors (SPFs) for structural insulated panels (SIPs) as the seismic force–resisting system ... -
Experimental Seismic Collapse Study of a Full-Scale, 4-Story, Soft-Story, Wood-Frame Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout much of California, there are a large number of wood-frame buildings with garage space at ground level, resulting in open fronts on one or two sides. This type of geometry results ... -
Residential Energy Recovery Radiant-Heated Slab System for Melting Snow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper introduces the feasibility of a flue gas energy recovery system that applies recovered waste energy to the proposed energy recovery radiant-heated slab system (ERRHSS). Through application of a runaround coil ... -
