Laboratory Tests for Assessing the Reliability and Durability of Innovative Cold-Glued 3D Glass Building Subcomponents
(ASCE, 2020)The paper shows the results of analyses of the behavior of an innovative subcomponent made of two glass shells and a plastic thermal belt interfaced with a resin-based adhesive, in order to define the plastic material–adhesive ... -
Structural Behavior of Sandwich Beams with Flax Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Faces and Cardboard Cores under Monotonic and Impact Loads
(ASCE, 2020)To meet the ever-increasing demand for more environmentally conscious building designs, it is important that sustainable building material options be available. Natural and recycled materials can be used in sandwich panels ... -
Database of Embodied Quantity Outputs: Lowering Material Impacts Through Engineering
(ASCE, 2020)Current studies and performance labels focus mainly on the operational energy demand of buildings due to heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and hot water, but they rarely account for embodied impacts. Performing a ... -
Influence of Passive Design Parameters on Thermal Comfort of an Office Space in a Building in Delhi
(ASCE, 2020)Energy efficiency measures in buildings, along with maintaining indoor thermal comfort, are increasingly drawing attention. The most widely accepted indices, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Percentage People Dissatisfied ... -
Embodied and Operational Energy Analysis of Passive House–Inspired High-Performance Residential Building Envelopes
(ASCE, 2020)High-performance building envelopes are designed to achieve target reductions in operational energy (OE). However, these wall assemblies often require initial, upfront investments in material cost and manufacturing energy. ... -
Probabilistic Model to Predict the Durability of Concrete Affected by Salt Crystallization
(ASCE, 2020)The architectural heritage of the 1950s, mainly built in reinforced concrete, currently presents serious problems of degradation in the structural members more exposed to environmental aggressiveness. One cause of degradation ... -
Effects of Silicone Coatings on Heat Strengthened and Fully Tempered Glass
(ASCE, 2020)This study investigated the effects of inorganic silicone coatings on the load resistance of heat treated glass beams. The authors performed destructive load tests on 192 heat treated glass beams divided into 6 samples. ... -
Catenary Solutions for Arches and Vaults
(ASCE, 2020)An arch is a basic structural form and has been used extensively in antiquity to create openings, doorways, vaulting, buttressing, bridges, and aqueducts. Most arches are built with masonry, especially those in the past. ... -
Experimental and Numerical Thermal Properties Investigation of Cement-Based Materials Modified with PCM for Building Construction Use
(ASCE, 2020)Due to their latent heat storage capacity, phase-change materials (PCM) incorporated in wallboards are an effective solution to reduce energy consumption inside buildings. This is achieved by incorporating PCM in construction ... -
Seismic Retrofit of Low-Rise Reinforced-Concrete Buildings: A Modified Displacement-Based Design Procedure
(ASCE, 2020)A noniterative procedure to determine the retrofitted configuration of an existing building, to be assessed according to the seismic code, is proposed. Among possible rehabilitation strategies, the approach involving both ... -
Technical Analysis and Comparison of Formwork-Making Methods for Customized Prefabricated Buildings: 3D Printing and Conventional Methods
(ASCE, 2020)Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is increasingly playing an essential role in the customization of prefabricated buildings. To demonstrate its high-quality, cost, and time-saving advantages, this paper first ... -
Comparison of Building Design Assessment Behaviors of Novices in Augmented- and Virtual-Reality Environments
(ASCE, 2020)Design and construction professionals must make well-informed decisions for every project that meets both industry standards and building codes and also the specific needs of building users and clients. In order to make ... -
Application of the Glass Failure Prediction Model to Flat Glass Using Finite-Element Modeling
(ASCE, 2020)Architectural glazing designers in the United States and many other parts of the world use prescriptive methods to determine the load resistance (LR) of glazing and glazing constructions in buildings based on a probabilistic ... -
