Friction-Based Connectors for Timber Shear Walls: Static Experimental Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Timber shear wall systems dissipate energy through nail bending, nail withdrawal, and crushing of the sheathing around the nail hole. This dissipation mechanism is a pinching hysteretic response. Use of high-damping devices ... -
Structural Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Century-Old Masonry and Timber Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This work focused on the structural condition assessment, repair, and rehabilitation aspects of old buildings built primarily with masonry and timber. Specifically, several school buildings that are old and considered ... -
Rotational Stiffness of Wood Truss Joints in Lateral and Diagonal Bracing and Truss–Wall Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The modeling and structural analysis of roof systems composed of metal plate–connected wood trusses (MPCWTs) require a detailed understanding of the rotational stiffness associated with various connections of the MPCWTs ... -
Geometric Design of Axisymmetric Spatial Structures Using Planar Angulated Members
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Geometric design methods for deployable structures matured considerably during the latter half of the twentieth century. This article presents the geometric formulation for axisymmetric spatial structures using angulated ... -
FRCM Reinforcement Systems in Historical Masonries of Savuto Castle, Italy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The analysis to consolidate the historical masonry through reinforcement systems is presented. Savuto Castle, located in Cleto (in the south of Italy), of the thirteenth century, was chosen as a case study due to its ... -
Development of Green Building Rating System Using AHP and Fuzzy Integrals: A Case of India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The greenness of a building is measured through green building assessment tools. These tools have limitations because they cannot be applied to all regions. The aim of this research was to develop a green building assessment ... -
Impact of Four Physical Design Factors on Mixed-Income Housing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The goal of this study was to survey the impact of design factors upon a mixed percentage of subsidized and market rate units. After content analysis of research, four physical factors, including unit number, site area, ... -
Seismic Analysis of a Portuguese Vernacular Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Rammed-earth constructions are present all over the world and are common in Portugal, especially in the southern part of the country. In recent years, several research works published on this topic focused on characterizing ... -
Prediction of Residential Satisfaction in South African Low-Income Housing: Role of Beneficiaries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article presents findings of an investigation, conducted in South Africa, on the influence of the beneficiaries’ participation in the formation of low-income housing residents’ satisfaction with their houses. The study ... -
Lifecycle Cost Analysis of Prefabricated Composite and Masonry Buildings: Comparative Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a tool to assess the costs associated with each phase of the building lifecycle. This study evaluated the lifecycle cost (LCC) of a prefabricated fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) building ... -
BIM-Based LCA Method to Analyze Envelope Alternatives of Single-Family Houses: Case Study in Uruguay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Currently, Uruguay is developing several measures to reduce the environmental impact of human activities and CO2 emissions. In 215 more than 9% of electricity was produced by renewable sources. Despite this fact, the ... -
Framework for Using Building Information Modeling to Create a Building Energy Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The use of building information modeling (BIM) to create a building energy model (BEM) compared with traditional simulation practices offers significant timesaving potentials by minimizing efficiency issues, legal disputes, ... -
Rapid Prototyping and Its Role in Supporting Architectural Design Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Model making is a crucial part of the design development for evaluating the form, fit, and functionality of a design before a notable investment is made. The emergence of novel technologies and their increasing uptake are ... -
Sustainable Residential Sector in Egypt: Performance Estimation of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System for Dar Misr Housing Project as a Case Study
