Fire Performance of Cedar Shingles under Radiant Heat
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Wood as a building material is a common roofing material in both contemporary homes and older properties such as heritage buildings. As a combustible material, wood can be associated with higher rates of building damage ... -
Finite-Element Modeling of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns under Axial Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures involve pouring concrete into steel tubes, which exert a constraining role, significantly enhancing the ductility of the concrete. Such structures are gaining popularity in ... -
Finding Connections between the Diné Philosophy of Life and a Project Definition Rating Index to Develop a Planning Tool for Construction on Tribal Lands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Many Tribal Nations are working to build capacity to plan, scope, execute, and operate construction projects internally, yet they face a lack of resources designed to support their efforts to self-perform such projects. ... -
A Top-Down Hierarchical Decomposition Approach for Generating Process Models to Aid BIM Data Exchanges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Process models are a critical component in the development of building information modeling (BIM) software interoperability advances, specifically with information delivery manuals (IDMs). These process models’ formulations ... -
Estimation of Surface Flaw Parameters for Annealed Glass Using Maximum Likelihood Estimator and Comparison with Historical Estimated Surface Flaw Parameters for Weathered and New Annealed Glass Samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Over the past four decades, surface flaw parameters for the two-parameter glass failure prediction model were estimated based on statistical measures and the researcher’s interpretation of the failure data rather than an ... -
Enhancing Energy Efficiency of High-Rise Buildings through Generative Design of Balcony Configurations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The building sector, responsible for about 40% of nonrenewable energy use and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, urgently needs architectural strategies that integrate energy efficiency goals with aesthetic design. In our ... -
Effects of Interior and Exterior Shading Elements on the Indoor Thermal Environment for Buildings in a Semiarid Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In semiarid climates, buildings with extensive glazing often become overheated by direct solar radiation in the summer. Careful selection of shading devices (SDs) is crucial to mitigate this issue. This study is a comprehensive ... -
Design–Construction Interface Problems in Sustainable Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The unique demands of sustainable construction projects, necessitating distinct management techniques, specialized materials, and novel building practices, present challenges in efficiently navigating project scope, time, ... -
Daylighting Design Optimization of Complex Fenestration Systems with External Shading and Horizontal Slats in Tropical Elementary School Classrooms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Daylighting in school classrooms is essential to support the health, well-being, and performance of students, while minimizing electric lighting energy. However, excessive exposure to daylight may lead to visual and thermal ... -
Wind-Induced Dynamic Behavior of Single-Skin Curtain-Wall System: A Comparative Numerical Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Glass curtain walls, while broadly used as a building facade, are vulnerable to extreme winds. Curtain-wall failures in major wind events lead to substantial economic losses, and wind-induced vibration is often a major ... -
Wind Uplift Resistance of Discontinuous Metal Roofing Systems: Literature Review and Experimental Research
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Damage to building envelopes, roofing, and wall cladding systems remains a major concern during high wind speed events such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Roofing systems are particularly vulnerable to wind damage, which can ... -
Utilizing Kinematic Models of Kinetic Facades to Obtain Optimal Natural Lighting in an Office Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Kinetic facades with various geometric models perform remarkably well in response to changing outdoor conditions. Therefore, their performance in controlling interior daylight could be optimized and balanced. This study ... -
Use of Pretreated Plastic Optical Fibers for Making Translucent Concrete-Based Architectural Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The light-transmitting plastic optical fibers (POFs) were treated with hydrofluoric acid and characterized for their wettability, surface topography, loss in mechanical properties, and fiber–matrix adhesion. The fibers ... -
Use of GIS for Identification and Resolution of Workspace Conflicts in Repetitive Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Effective planning of workspace on a construction site is necessary to execute work smoothly. Poor workspace planning results in workspace conflicts, site congestion, obstructions in work execution, and reduction in work ... -
Apparent Impact Sound Insulation Performance of Continuous Floating Concrete Toppings on Mass Timber Slab Floors
