RISMultiobjective Aerodynamic Optimization of Tall Building Openings for Wind-Induced Load Reduction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The dependency of wind forces and responses on the outer shape of tall buildings provides a unique opportunity to reduce wind effects through the aerodynamic optimization of the outer shape. The current study presents a ...
Wind-Induced Pressures on Solar Panels Mounted on Residential Homes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents wind load investigations on solar panel modules mounted on low-rise buildings with gable roofs that have two distinct slopes. Wind loads on the solar panels mounted on several zones of the roofs were ...
Concurrent Delay Analysis: Methods, Case Law, and Expert Perception
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concurrent delays in a project schedule are due to two or more independent delay events occurring during the same time period. There arise difficulties in attributing responsibility for these delays and in deciding the ...
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems Subjected to Along-Wind Loads. I: Parametric Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lateral strength and stiffness requirements due to wind loads usually govern the design of tall buildings. The current building codes in the US, Canada, and Europe recognize the first significant yield point as an ...
BIM-CFD-based Thermal Analysis for Northern Buildings on Permafrost
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In austere environments, such as northern regions, remote communities face many challenges such as permafrost warming and significant infrastructure deficit. With the increasing demand for soil stabilization methods beneath ...
Impact of Construction Scheduling Practice on Delay Claim Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of delay analysis techniques in giving accurate and timely analysis results is determined by scheduling practice performance and the availability of as-built records. To enhance the effectiveness of delay ...
Impact of Architectural Details on the Transmission of Airborne Pollutants between Flats in Residential High-Rise Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The interflat cross-contamination of air pollutants such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in built environments has become a growing concern. This study investigates the effect of the geometrical details of building ...
Opening and Compartmentalization Effects of Internal Pressure in Low-Rise Buildings with Gable and Hip Roofs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines how design features, such as building envelope openings and compartmentalization, affect the wind pressure in typical low-rise buildings with gable and hip roofs. Wind-induced internal and external ...
Wind Effects on Roofs with High-Profile Tiles: Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: 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 ...
Wind Turbine Tower Failure Modes under Seismic and Wind Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response ...
