Critical Review of Aerosol Particle Transport Models for Building HVAC Ducts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Literature on aerosol behavior in conventional heating ventilating and air conditioning duct systems that is directly applicable to modeling and simulation of deposition and resuspension of particulate matter is reviewed. ... -
Performance of Conservatories under Wind and Snow Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Wind and snow loads are the governing load cases for the design of conservatories. The performance of conservatories under these loads determines to a great extent the reliability and serviceability of these structures. ... -
Bracing Demand in Axially Loaded Cold-Formed Steel Stud Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The problem of determining adequate bracing for multiple studs in a wall with similar imperfections is addressed. Previous studies have determined the necessary brace strength and stiffness required to adequately brace a ... -

Thermal Probe Technology for Buildings: Transition from Laboratory to Field Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper reports the results of an investigation into the transfer of thermal probe measurement technology from laboratory use to actual buildings in order to undertake the in situ determination of thermal material ... -
How Much Energy Do Different Toplighting Strategies Save?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Skylights can introduce considerable heat gains and losses that may offset the benefits of electric light savings and cause an increase in yearly net building energy use. The design of a toplight system needs to take into ... -
Optimizing the Wind Uplift Resistance of Mechanically Attached Roof Systems1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Wind dynamics on a mechanically attached single-ply roofing assembly can lift the membrane and cause fluttering, introducing stresses at the attachment locations. To identify a component in a system that has the weakest ... -
Developing O&M Plans for Homeowners Associations: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper presents a case study of a town-home community in Atlanta, and describes the development of an operations and maintenance (O&M) plan for the maintenance of the exterior building components of the superstructures, ... -
Simplicity, Scale, and Surprise: Evaluating Structural Form
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Aesthetic and ethical issues of building design are presented here to encourage meaningful discussion among today’s architectural engineering students and practitioners. The evaluative aesthetic ideas of scale, simplicity, ... -
