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 ... -
Performance of Lightweight Wet-Room Floor with Two Waterproof Membranes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The purpose of this paper is to present and evaluate the performance of a lightweight wet-room floor structure with two waterproof membranes with a water-resistant cast compound between the membranes (twin floor). The twin ... -
Digital Image Processing Techniques for Evaluating Façade Flatness in Historical Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study reports a rapid method of analysis for evaluating the flatness of the façades of historical buildings. This method applies topographic, digital photogrammetric, and image processing techniques to measurements ... -
Framework for Proactive Change Management: Assessing the Risk of Change in Construction Projects Using Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Changes that occur during a project are a common and inevitable problem in the construction industry. Change is an important source of risk that could affect project performance significantly; thus, it is necessary to ... -
Modeling Knowledge for MEP Coordination in Building Projects in Saudi Arabia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For many years, the building industry in many countries has been plagued by issues of poor quality, cost overruns, and construction delays. This has been largely attributed to the continuous fragmentation of the industry ... -
Standardizing System of Posthandover Defects for the Construction Sector in Colombia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Posthandover defects present in the construction industry lead to reprocesses, cost overruns, and situations of dissatisfaction for purchasers. The analysis of past experiences through a feedback process with a view to ... -
One-Sided Steel Shear Connections in Progressive Collapse Scenario
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)There are many design techniques and philosophies intended to provide structural integrity or increase structural robustness, thereby making structures resistant to progressive collapse. However, studies that reveal origins ... -

Procurement of Architecture and Engineering Services: Influence of Cost on Selection Outcomes and Evaluation Criteria That Best Differentiate Consultant Expertise
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although the procurement of architectural and engineering (A/E) consultants has traditionally followed Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS), owners have begun to utilize cost evaluations with increasing regularity. A/E ... -
Environmental Impact Profiles for Glazing Systems: Strategies for Early Design Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The most crucial architectural design stage is the early design phase, when most of the critical decisions are made. To address the significance of this stage, the design team is obliged to rapidly evaluate many design ... -
Effects of Using Coconut Fiber–Insulated Masonry Walls to Achieve Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort in Residential Dwellings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In most developing countries with a tropical climate, the benefits of insulating external masonry walls are often overlooked, and there is little or no effort to reduce the energy consumed. Apart from the comfort challenges, ... -
Statistical Methods Applied to Optimize Perforated Façade Design for Daylight Availability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Perforated solar screens (PSS) are important to consider in building façade design because of their contribution to sustainability through daylighting. PSS façade design requires the consideration of many potential design ... -
