Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Linear Chouquet Integral Algorithm to Design Optimal Time-Cost Model in Large Construction ProjectsHamid Jafari Nia, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Hamidreza BabaaliNowadays, the problem of scheduling and executing projects with the least cost and time has become one of the main concerns of project managers. In this regard, researchers have used different methods and patterns. One of these methods is to use concurrent engineering in projects. Simultaneous engineering means the creation of a project schedule for projects based on existing units … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2020 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasis of Guidelines for Structural Design and Thermal Assessment of Buildings with Hybrid CLT-Glass ElementsNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Chiara Bedon et al.Facade elements are known to represent a building component with multiple performance parameters to satisfy. Among others, “advanced facades” take advantage from hybrid solutions, like the assemblage of laminated materials. In addition to enhanced mechanical properties that are typical of optimally composed hybrid structural components, these systems are energy efficient, durable and offer lightening comfort and optimal thermal performance. This … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2020 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishing an Evacuation Network: A Path Ranking ApproachHoussein Alaeddine, Kamal Serrhini, Mindjid Maizia, Emmanuel NéronThe evacuation of population exposed to flood hazard requires the establishment of a specific transportation network. This is to compute escape routes to be taken by affected population. At evacuation time, inhabitants of affected area must be evacuated through transportation network to safety area. The main objective of this work is to provide assistance to rescue forces in terms of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Retrofits Needed in Old Office Buildings to Achieve Thermal ComfortChipozya Tembo Silungwe, Josephine Mutwale Ziko, Edward Jims SakalaBuilding designs normally are made to offer a given level of comfort to occupants without any mechanical intervention. However, with the advent of global warming temperatures globally have been seen to rise making the occupants of most buildings uncomfortable. The immediate solution has been to add mechanical ventilation, which comes at an added cost of installation and running a building. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping an Integrated Method for Optimal Design of Chilled Water Plants in HVAC SystemsNabil Nassif, Nihal Al Raees, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-LebdehBuildings account for a large portion of energy use in the US. Many those buildings have equipped with central plants to produce chilled water supplied to central air handling units. The chilled water plant design can have a significant impact on building energy uses and costs. In this paper, an integrated method for optimal design of chilled water plants is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKey Structural Aspects for Adaptive Facades - Activity Progress from the EU-COST Action TU1403 ‘Structural’ Task GroupChiara Bedon, Dániel Honfi, Marcin Kozłowski et al.Adaptive facades are getting more and more widespread in modern buildings. These facade systems, among many others, need to fulfil the requirements of several structural considerations, such as structural safety, serviceability, durability, robustness and fire safety, being typically defined for standard facades and building enclosures in general. The current paper discusses special structural characteristics which need to be taken into … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2018 · 13,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstruction Stage Analysis for a New Mixed Structure Building in MilanMarco Zucca, Nicola Longarini, Federico de Socio, Iacopo MiglioriIn this study the Construction Stage Analysis (CSA) of a new mixed structure building is discussed in order to identify the best timing and execution activities scheduling. The building is part of a new university campus that will be realized close to the center of the city. The CSA is carried out by the implementation of two models: the finite … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2018 · 9,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Electricity Price on Saving Energy Transmitted from External Building WallsSamah K. Alghoul, Ammar O. Gwesha, Abdurrauf M. NaasSpace heating and cooling loads consume a significant part of the national produced energy in many countries. Therefore, substantial energy savings can be achieved by the reduction of spent energy in this category. Since wall insulation is rarely used in Libya, this research was conducted to study the effect of electricity price on residential heating and cooling energy consumption and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 May 2016 · 10,842 accessesView PDFCite
