Decision Support System for Manufactured Housing Facility Layout
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Productivity improvement of manufactured housing (MH) production systems has been a great concern to manufacturers and production managers. Studies show that a typical manufactured housing plant fails to produce at desired ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of Felix Candela’s Chapel of Lomas de Cuernavaca
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The structures of Felix Candela stand as elegant examples of the art of thin shell concrete structural design. However, few thin shell structures are built today and many of the most enduring structures, such as those of ... -
Survey of Bioterrorism Risk in Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Due to the lack of data and experience with designing buildings for a bioterrorism hazard, it is important for civil engineering professionals to understand both the way that risk is currently accounted for in the design ... -
Making the Financial Case for Sustainable Design

Design and Construction Challenges of a Federal Laboratory Building: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper presents a case study regarding design and construction challenges of a federal laboratory building. The case study illustrates the successful collaboration of two federal agencies, General Services Administration ... -
Test Method to Measure the Relative Capacity of Wall Panels to Evacuate Moisture from Their Stud Cavity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Rainwater penetration is the source of moisture that causes the greatest damage to building envelope assemblies. The building envelope should be designed to reduce the amount of rainwater penetration by deflection and ... -
Computer-Integrated System for Estimating the Costs of Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)The cost estimate is considered one of the most important and critical phases of a construction project. Preparing reliable and accurate estimates to help decision makers is the most challenging assignment that cost engineers ... -
Balancing User Priorities for Sustainability versus Security
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)In these times of global change, many facility emphases are competing for limited resources. Competing factors include, but are not limited to, sustainable design or green buildings; security, hardening or force protection; ... -
Modeling Particle Dispersion under Human Activity Disturbance in a Multizone Indoor Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Human activity is an important factor influencing particle resuspension in the indoor environment. This work studies the applicability of a multizone airflow and contaminant transport model (CONTAM 2.1) in the simulation ... -
Bio-Based Composite Roof for Residential Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Bio-based composites are an innovative new class of materials that offer many advantages over traditional fiber reinforced composite materials, and may be suitable for use in light duty construction. A study was conducted ... -

Medical Records for Building Health Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Medical records provide essential information for evaluating a patient’s health. Without them, it would be difficult for doctors to make accurate diagnoses. Similar to diagnoses in medical science, building health management ... -
Effect of Turbulence on Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)It is shown that in ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems for air disinfection, where turbulence completely mixes the flow in the directions perpendicular to the net flow direction, turbulence can also act to ... -
