Analytical Investigations on the Glulam Beam-to-Column Connections Reinforced with Knee Braces
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)The glulam knee-braced frame structure is a type of the post-and-beam construction and has extensive application in real projects. The mechanical performance of the beam-to-column connection reinforced with knee brace has ... -
Automated Text Classification of Maintenance Data of Higher Education Buildings Using Text Mining and Machine Learning Techniques
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Facility maintenance data sets have not been actively employed because of missing data and data inconsistency. This research attempts to resolve the issues (i.e., missing data and data inconsistency) by proposing a systematic ... -
Thermal State, Potential of Natural and Fan-Induced Ventilation in Enhancing Comfort of Nine Office Buildings in Southern Ghana
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)This paper presents the outcome of a long-term study of the thermal conditions in nine office buildings in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana. As part of the aim, the authors sought to evaluate the prevailing thermal conditions in ... -
Design Optimization of Structural–Acoustic Spanning Concrete Elements in Buildings
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)In many buildings, structural concrete systems have a large impact on the building’s overall weight, embodied energy, and embodied carbon. Efficient structural components could result in building weight reductions, leading ... -
The Fuzzy Logic Method in Assessing Window Design for the Visual Comfort of Classrooms at the Early Design Stage
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)Architectural design is the process of solving design problems until the final product emerges. Solving these problems altogether complicates this process. It is one of the most important stages of this complex process ... -
Reusing Earthquake Rubble in a Temporary Housing Structure for Hot Arid Climates
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)Natural disasters are responsible for causing significant damage to built environments and its consequent homelessness. This subject is notable in developing countries, specifically when they are located in earthquake-prone ... -
Geometric Feasibility of Kinetic Reciprocal Frame Structures with Linear and Curved Elements and a Constant Perimeter
(ASCE, 2022-6-1)Deployability of reciprocal frame (RF) structures can aid in the creation of multifunctional architectures, satisfy the needs of flexible architectures, and adapt to climatic and environmental conditions. However, changes ... -
A Hybrid Prioritization Model for Funding School Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects Using Data Envelopment Analysis and Linear Programming Algorithms
