Off-Site Construction of Apartment Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: 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 ...
Design Optimization of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Based on Variable Baffle Cuts and Sizing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article investigates the optimization of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger design through the optimization of baffle spacing and cut. This study focuses on the impact of baffle spacing (20–35%) and baffle cut percentage ...
Impact of BIM on Quality of Planning and Design in Highway Infrastructure Projects: SEM-Based Inquiry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractQuality of planning and design (QPD) is crucial for the success of highway infrastructure
projects. Inadequate planning and design often lead to costly change orders, rework,
and delays. Although previous studies ...
