Modeling Knowledge for Architectural Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Architectural programming practices are still being perceived to be inefficient. This research endeavors to respond to this concern by proposing a generic framework model that aims at capturing the process of properly ... -
Off-Site Construction of Apartment Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The populations of major cities in Australia are increasing rapidly and facing an acute housing shortage. Traditional apartment procurement techniques involve lengthy lead times, and therefore, factory-based, or off ... -
Analysis of Window Installation Shim Space Tolerances
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Most windows are required by their manufacturer to be installed in rough openings constructed so efficiently that there is a maximum of 6.35-mm (1/4-in.) space between the window and the adjacent structure. This space is ... -
Roman Concrete Vaulting in the Great Hall of Trajan’s Markets: Structural Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)An in-depth structural analysis is used to explore the design and functionality of the Great Hall of Trajan’s Markets (110 CE), a large Imperial monument cross vaulted in unreinforced Roman concrete. Following a combined ... -
Rethinking the Business Model in Construction by the Use of Off-Site System Deliverance: Case of the Shaft Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents a set of insights to be used in the development of business models for off-site system deliveries contributing to the development of off-site manufacturing (OSM) practices. The theoretical starting point ... -
New Building Scheme to Resist Progressive Collapse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In this paper, a new scheme is proposed for retrofitting RC buildings to resist progressive collapse that may result from a first floor column failure. The proposed scheme is comprised of placing vertical cables connected ... -
Detailed Analysis of the Construction, Operating, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Costs of Green Toronto Schools
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The lack of quantitative data relating initial investment to long-term costs has raised concerns about green buildings’ long-term economic effectiveness. This study analyzed the operating, maintenance, rehabilitation, and ... -
Business Design Modeling for Industrialization in Construction: Cooperative Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Currently, atomization and fragmented processes are strong constraints to industrializing the construction industry in Switzerland. Therefore, building construction in Switzerland is still characterized by manual production ... -
Structural Assessment of a Transparent Wall Panel with Load-Bearing Backup Framing and Polycarbonate Sheathing for Residential Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A new type of wall system for use in light-frame construction has recently been developed at Penn State University to allow for maximum daylighting and the use of glazing integrated photovoltaics to generate electricity. ... -
Structural–Architectural Integration of Double-Layer Space Structures in Tall Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper discusses structural–architectural integration of vertical, double-layer space structures in tall buildings. It covers the integration of the structures with building facades, entrances, lobbies, and interior ... -
Accelerations of Nonstructural Components during Nonlinear Seismic Response of Multistory Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A simple method is presented for determining the peak horizontal acceleration of nonstructural components attached to the floor system of multistory structures subjected to strong ground motions. The procedure was developed ... -
Adaptable Industrial Building System: Construction Industry Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Industrial building systems (IBS) are considered a modern method of construction (MMC). Although numerous studies have explored the implications of IBS implementation, they have focused primarily on the hardware elements. ... -
Evolution of Nontraditional Methods of Construction: 21st Century Pragmatic Viewpoint
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Technology has played a major role in the process of forming the architectural theory and practice during the twentieth century. The discourse on technology is well received both in hermeneutics and in architectural theory. ... -
Robustness-Oriented Design of a Panel-Based Shelter System in Critical Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper deals with the design and off-site construction of particular buildings for critical and emergency situations (e.g., natural disasters such as hurricanes, landslides, floods, and earthquakes; war sites; and ... -
Promoting Off-Site Construction: Future Challenges and Opportunities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012) -
Influence of Negative Phase Loading on Cable Net Facade Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The behavior of cable net facades subjected to blast loads differs significantly from the behavior of stiffer structures, such as post-and-rail facades or classical concrete or steel structures. The low eigenfrequencies ... -
Case Study of Occupant Costs in Roof Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A failed or failing roof system represents a heightened opportunity for failure in the building envelope and inherently increases the risk of additional costs. A leaking roof system also imposes costs on building occupants. ... -
Industrialized Building Systems: Strategic Outlook for Manufactured Construction in Malaysia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012) -
Maintenance Integrated Design and Manufacture of Buildings: Toward a Sustainable Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)There are many elements to the manufacture and preassembly of building components off-site. Maintenance has long been regarded as a Cinderella activity. By comparison, with the attention given to so-called new-build ... -
Missile Impact Resistance of a Metal Mesh Roofing System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents the results of impact tests on a roof system constructed with expanded metal mesh welded to a steel frame. The roof system was designed to be installed on a masonry structure that will protect an emergency ...
