(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The initial curriculum of Drexel University’s Architectural Engineering program evolved considerably during the first five years—academic years 1986–1987 to 1991–1992—leading up to its initial accreditation by ABET in 1992. ... -
Typology of Buildings with Grating Smart Windows with Azimuthally Optimized Light Transmission
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)A novel architectural typology of buildings is proposed with special transmission of each window without the use of additional daylight shading/redirecting devices. Minimum transmission at a preset time and self-regulated ... -
Scan4Façade: Automated As-Is Façade Modeling of Historic High-Rise Buildings Using Drones and AI
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)This paper presents an automated as-is façade modeling method for existing and historic high-rise buildings, named Scan4Façade. To begin with, a camera drone with a spiral path is employed to capture building exterior ... -
Multiobjective Model for Optimizing the Planning of Floor Plans, Finishing Level, and Transportation in Modular Construction
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The objective of this research study is to formulate and develop an automated multiobjective optimization model for modular construction projects. The model is designed to support planners of modular construction in ... -
Effect of Short-Term Simulated Rain Exposure on the Performance of Cross-Laminated Timber Angle Bracket Connections
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Connections play a vital role in the transfer of lateral forces and energy dissipation in cross-laminated timber (CLT) structural systems. However, moisture exposure (e.g., rain during or after construction) can affect the ... -
Assessing Typological Variants in Existing Prefabricated Industrial Buildings: Case Study of Casentino in Tuscany, Italy
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Precast reinforced concrete technology has been widely applied in Italy for industrial facilities throughout the years and nowadays older buildings show structure and energy-related deficiencies. In order to promote ... -
Factors Affecting the Seismic Analysis of Historical Masonry Structures: Case of a Single-Nave Church Damaged during the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)The post-earthquake seismic assessment of buildings is usually performed through numerical methods. Geometrical simplifications of the structure are often introduced. Moreover, the seismic input is evaluated following the ... -
Seismic Rehabilitation and Repurposing of the Faculty of Design of the Tabriz Islamic Art University
(ASCE, 2022/07/07)In addition to maintaining their cultural, social, and economic character, repurposing old industrial edifices breathes new life into them. The historical Khosravi leather factory was built in 1931 in the city of Tabriz ... -
Design of Self-Supporting Rotegrity Structure Using Notched Elements
(ASCE, 2022/06/22)Consisting of linear elements, reciprocal frame structures are three-dimensional (3D) self-supported structures that can be rapidly assembled. This feature renders them suitable for both temporary and permanent uses. ... -
Integrating Knowledge of Project Management and BIM for MEP Education: Review and Recommendations
(ASCE, 2022/06/22)The purpose of this paper is to address the importance of project management education and building information modeling (BIM) for coordinating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services. Coordination of MEP ... -
Acoustic Modeling of Honeycomb Structures for First Load Direction with Damping Consideration
(ASCE, 2022/06/09)Low-frequency noise control in buildings is a critical issue because of the weak sound insulation in low frequencies (<200 Hz) for doors and partitions. In the present study, an analytical model has been proposed to ... -
A Framework to Identify Stakeholder Values for Building Layout Design
(ASCE, 2022/06/01)Well-designed facilities result in significant social, economic, cultural, and environmental benefits to their stakeholders. In Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) literature, these benefits are generally ... -
