Simplified Stress Design of Helicoidal HSS Beams
(ASCE, 2020)To facilitate the initial stress design of three-dimensional (3D) curved hollow structural steel (HSS) steel (i.e., helicoidal) beams and rapid early-stage topology decisions, a series of design charts and closed-form ... -
Integrated Change and Knowledge Management Approach for Energy Retrofits
(ASCE, 2020)The importance and benefits of change and dependency management (CDM) and knowledge management (KM) have been increasingly recognized in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. In energy retrofits, ... -
Performance of Light-Frame Timber Shear Walls Produced with Weathered Sheathing
(ASCE, 2020)Light-frame wood construction is the most common construction method used for single- and multifamily residential structures in the United States. Shear walls made with engineered wood structural panels are the primary ... -
Evaluation of Security Measures to Mitigate the Effects of Bioterror Attacks on Buildings Using a System Dynamics Method
(ASCE, 2020)This paper describes the use of a system dynamics (SD) computational method to evaluate initial designs or upgrades of security measures to protect a building and its occupants from bioterror attacks. The paper identifies ... -
Upgrading Large Existing Buildings to Maximize Their Sustainability
(ASCE, 2020)Existing buildings, especially aging ones, often are in urgent need of upgrading to improve their sustainability and environmental performance. Building owners often seek to identify and implement building upgrade measures ... -
Optimization Strategies for Grid Shells: The Role of Joints
(ASCE, 2020)Structural optimization techniques are being usefully employed for the design of large grid shell structures. Indeed, thanks to the use of innovative strategies and mathematical algorithms, it is possible to combine different ... -
Glass-Steel Triangulated Structures: Parametric Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis of In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Structural Response of Triangular Laminated Glass Panels
(ASCE, 2020)Glass exhibits brittle failure behavior. Therefore, redundancy is a fundamental design requirement when using glass as a main structural material. On this basis, a novel structural concept has been developed for hybrid ... -
Effects of Nonstructural Wall in Progressive Failure of Coastal Residential Buildings Subjected to Strong Winds
(ASCE, 2020)With many natural hazards impacting coastal communities, the resilience of low-rise residential wood buildings (LRWBs) in the community has been critical. To better understand structural performance under extreme weather ... -
Benchmarking Lab Wind Performance with In Situ Monitored Data of Modular Vegetated Roof Assemblies
(ASCE, 2020)The National Research Council of Canada (NRC), as part of a consortium with members from vegetated roof industries and roofing associations, established a national wind resistance standard for modular vegetated roof ... -
Alternative Approach for Traditional Slaking and Grinding of Air Lime Mortar for Restoration of Heritage Structures: Natural Polymer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Conservation of ancient buildings to make them long lasting is gaining importance. Lime mortars, which exhibit better strength and durability with progression over time, are used for this purpose. This study emphasizes the ... -
Mobile Augmented Reality to Influence Design and Constructability Review Sessions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In modern construction projects, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners who are actively involved in projects use different methods of visualization, such as building information modeling (BIM), physical mock-ups, ... -
Framework for Balancing Structural Efficiency and Operational Energy in Tall Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Buildings are responsible for a third of worldwide energy demand as well as anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a holistic approach for energy-efficient design over the life cycle of buildings is necessary. ... -
BIM Data Exchange Standard for Hydro-Supported Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)With the rapid adoption of building information modeling (BIM) across diverse industries, the need for a universal standard for BIM data exchanges has become critical for the success of BIM applications. Questions of the ... -
Development and Testing of a Resilience Rapidity Model for Disasters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Large-scale tornadoes in the United States can devastate the building stock of communities, leading to long-term negative effects in recovery. Resilience research has concluded that disaster losses are a predictable result ... -
