Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConstruction 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 · 9,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBasis 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 · 6,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReview on the use of FRP Composites for Facades and Building SkinsChiara BedonFiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of materials typically able to offer excellent mechanical, thermal and insulation properties, taking advantage of a combination of their constitutive fibers and polymers. Due to their intrinsic lightweight properties, FRP composites are in use for aerospace, automotive, marine industries and ballistic armor since several decades. Only in a subsequent phase, i.e. since … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 9,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Utilisation of Dijkstra's Algorithm to Assist Evacuation Route in Higher and Close BuildingNor Amalina Mohd Sabri, Abd Samad Hasan Basari, Burairah Husin, Khyrina Airin Fariza Abu SamahFinding a shortest path in a high rise building during critical incident or evacuation is facing two main issues which are evacuees find difficulties to find the best routes and their behavior makes the process more difficult. These problems are important since it is related to the human's life. By providing the shortest path and control the evacuee behavior, these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 28 Jan 2015 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessEvery word in the titleRECENT 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 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMODEL BUILDING FOR AUTOCORRELATED PROCESS CONTROL: AN INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCEM. A. Djauhari, S. L. Lee, Z. IsmailWe show that many time series data are governed by Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) law. This motivates us to propose a procedure of time series model building for autocorrelated process control that might consist of two steps. First, we test whether the process data are governed by GBM law. If it is affirmative, the appropriate model is directly given by … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 29 Mar 2014 · 6,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE USE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MULTI-ROOM MODELING APPROACH-APPLICATION TO BUILDING POLLUTION TRANSPORT AND EFFICIENCY OF OFF-HOUR VENTILATIONAhmed Cherif MegriSeveral building simulation programs have been developed for design, analysis and prediction of the distribution of temperature, airflow and heat transfer between inside and outside of a building and/or between different zones of the same building. These programs are categorized as mono-zone models, multi-room models, zonal models, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and multi-zone models. The number of computer programs … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDYNAMIC ENERGY MODELING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL BUILDING EQUIPPED WITH AN UNDERFLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION (UFAD) SYSTEMYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriIn this study, experimental and simulation studies were performed in a building equipped with an UFAD system in order to investigate the applicability of a new approach designed for prediction of the energy consumption of a residential building with an UFAD system. In this approach, a zonal model, Pressurized zOnal Model with the Air diffuser (POMA), was coupled with a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,141 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnvironmental 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 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
