Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvolutionary Structural Optimization of Wind Bracing Connection Plates in Steel StructuresReza Kasiri, Saeid Eslamian, Theodore C. Crusberg et al.Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is one of the rules in structural engineering which has received much attention by the researchers. Today, the reduction of construction cost and weight is an important issue in the structure design. The optimization phenomenon is pursuing to fulfill this objective. Thus, presenting a design which could be both safe and economic is of special significance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2020 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Information Modeling for Indoor Environmental Performance AnalysisYaik-Wah LimThere are increasing numbers of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software available nowadays which change the working methods in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. From the stages of building design development to post-occupancy management, BIM plays an essential role in collaboration among multi-discipline professions, time and cost saving, fabrication and construction as well as facilities management. With the arising concern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Analysis on Same Filter Different Sources for Selection of Spectral Filters in Optical DemultiplexerMohammad Syuhaimi Ab-Rahman, Hadiguna, Latifah Sarah SupianThe cost effective demultiplexer based on POF is reported in this study. The demultiplexer is fabricated by combining optical splitter with the suitable filter for wavelength selection. Therefore this study we aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selected color filter film for demultiplexer construction where only signals with certain wavelengths are allowed to pass through the demultiplexer while the other … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 18 Jun 2013 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Recycled and Waste Materials in Various Construction ApplicationsJohnny Bolden, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie FiniMore production equals more waste, more waste creates environmental concerns of toxic threat. An economical viable solution to this problem should include utilization of waste materials for new products which in turn minimize the heavy burden on the nation’s landfills. Recycling of waste construction materials saves natural resources, saves energy, reduces solid waste, reduces air and water pollutants and reduces … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2013 · 24,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Ethics in Governing Recycled Material Styrofoam for Building Human HabitatRavichandran Moorthy, Kartini Aboo Talib Khalid, Suhana SaadStyrofoam is extensively used in food packaging businesses throughout the world. Its light weight makes it a favorite food package for entrepreneurs in food businesses. However, unlike its content, the food, which decomposed easily after some time, Styrofoam remains un-decomposed due to its oil-based structure. This study discusses the prospects of re-utilization of Styrofoam as environmentally friendly recycled material. This … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 28 Dec 2012 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposed Reliability Techniques on Soil and Rock ExcavationsS. TangchawalProblem statement: Assessment of the ground mass excavation is normally done by the deterministic method. A quantitative indication of mass stability provides as an index term known "the Factor of Safety (F.S.)". There are uncertain to some degrees, such as only a single value of mass properties is used or variation in geologic conditions, computed values of F.S. are never … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards more Manageable Coastal Building; Initial Coastal Building Construction GuidelinesRoslan Talib, Mohd Z. SuliemanProblem statement: As we may not be aware that the coastal construction is different from inland construction. Building in a coastal environment is different from building in an inland area. In general, buildings in coastal areas must be designed and built to withstand higher loads due to its more extreme conditions. Nowadays, the issue of global warming, uncertainty of global … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 22 Aug 2011 · 8,650 accessesView PDFCite
