Blast-Resistant Glazing Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)When blasts occur in urban areas, many injuries and sometimes deaths result when glass shards fly from windows fractured by airblast pressure. The use of blast-resistant glazing can mitigate the number and severity of ... -
United States–India Collaborative Research Directions in Urban Housing and Supporting Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006) -
Structural Use of Glass
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper introduces the materials, design methods, and details used to create glass structures from small unframed glazing screens to the largest glass walls and roofs. It includes information on the use of glass in ... -
New Design Procedure for Wind Uplift Resistance of Architectural Metal Roofing Systems1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Currently, there are no Canadian national guidelines for the wind uplift resistance of architectural metal roof systems. Thus, it is difficult to judge their suitability and performance based on a common standard. Given ... -
Design of Architectural Glazing to Resist Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A state of the practice summary is presented with regard to the design of architectural glazing to resist earthquakes. Highlighted are new model building code provisions that have been adopted recently by a number of code ... -
Constructability Practices to Manage Sustainable Building Knowledge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Construction professionals have knowledge and competencies that can help improve the design and delivery of sustainable buildings. The introduction of construction knowledge during design using constructability practices ... -
Validation of Finite-Element Analyses for Storm Shelters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The Federal Emergency Management Agency -
Mechanics and Test Study of Two-Dimensional Flexible Membranes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Numerous enclosure wall systems as well as roof systems employ membranes that are not fully adhered, common examples being mechanically attached roofing membranes and housewraps in screen-type exterior wall systems. Under ... -
Exposure to Condensation Moisture of Sheathing in Retrofitted Leaky Wall Assemblies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Exfiltration of moist indoor air during winter conditions may lead to the gradual wetting of the sheathing of wall assemblies that are not airtight. In this study, seven full-scale wood-frame wall specimens were tested to ... -
Standards Governing Glazing Design in Hurricane Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The latest editions of model building codes in the United States mandate protection of glazed openings in hurricane regions, unless the buildings are designed for the higher pressures of partially enclosed buildings. The ... -
Design of Window Glass for Lateral Pressures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)ASTM Standard E 1300-04 (“Standard practice for determining load resistance of glass in buildings”) outlines procedures for determining the strength of window glass products when the glass is subjected to uniform lateral ... -
Survey of Sustainable Building Design Practices in North America, Europe, and Asia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Sustainable design should be applied in all phases of the life cycle of a building, including programming, design, building construction, building operation, and finally demolition. This paper compares and contrasts ... -
Educational Architecture-Oriented Software Linking Conceptual Design and Solar Intensity1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Fundamental architectural decisions such as a building’s form and orientation greatly influence the energy performance of a building. As these decisions are taken very early in the design process, it is important for the ... -
Bearing Strength of Slabs on Grade Supporting a Cold-Formed Steel Wall in Low-Rise Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The main objective of this research project was to develop a better understanding of the bearing strength of slabs on grade supporting load-bearing walls made of cold-formed steel studs and tracks used in residential and ... -
Adoption of the International Residential Code in a High Natural Hazards Region—An Overview
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)South Carolina was among the first jurisdictions to adopt the -
Static and Cyclic Racking Performance of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Cladding Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Laboratory experiments subjected full-scale autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) cladding panel specimens to static monotonic loading and incrementally increased displacement amplitudes of cyclic racking movements. The objective ... -
Application of a Virtual Environment System in Building Sciences Education
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper includes a brief review of the application of virtual environments in building sciences and presents details of the application of virtual structural analysis program (VSAP), a virtual reality based structural ... -
Development of a Virtual Reality Structural Analysis System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper discusses the development of virtual structural analysis program (VSAP). This is a virtual environment (VE) based structural analysis system developed through a collaborative effort between the School of ... -
