Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeorge (Gogu) ConstantinescuRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.George (Gogu) Constantinescu (October 4, 1891 - December 11, 1965) was a Romanian scientist and engineer, often considered to be one of the most important Romanian engineers. He was responsible for creating a new field of mechanics, called "sonicity," which describes the transmission of energy through vibrations in fluid or solid bodies. He applied the new theory to numerous inventions: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2017 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Energy Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksMaya Arida, Nabil Nassif, Rand Talib, Taher Abu-LebdehAccurate modeling of total building energy is now vital to reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for buildings since they are considered as the largest energy consumer in the United States. This paper investigates modeling methods for building energy-systems using non-linear auto-regression artificial neural networks. The proposed model can forecast the whole building energy consumptions given the four input … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Residual Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns Subjected to Extreme Dynamic LoadsMasoud Abedini, Azrul A. Mutalib, Sudharshan N. Raman et al.The evaluation of residual axial load carrying capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns to explosion load is significant for protection of buildings. The few investigations conducted on residual axial load carrying capacity of RC columns when subjected to blast loads. Therefore, the overall aim of this research is to generate equations on the blast capacity of axially and uniaxial loaded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of the Nere Pod (Parkia Biglobosa) for the Improvement of Mechanical Properties of SoilsSinko Banakinao, Sonnou Tiem, Kodjo Attipou et al.Buildings made of unbaked clay have some advantage in terms of production cost. However, they have some inconveniences concerning their mechanical performance, particularly their resistance to weather. The objective of this study is to minimize these disadvantages and to maximize the benefits of such buildings to make them more viable. For this purpose, a method based on a traditional practice … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2017 · 7,853 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Dynamic Thermal Behavior of Building Envelope in Summer Conditions By Means of in-Field Continuous MonitoringAnna Laura Pisello, Gloria Pignatta, Cristina Piselli et al.The effect of dynamic properties of building opaque envelope in summer conditions is investigated by means of an extensive continuous monitoring of a dedicated experimental field. Two test-buildings, a weather station and two microclimate stations positioned in each test-building represent the experimental field. The prototype buildings have been specifically designed to present the same stationary envelope properties, but different construction … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 25 Apr 2016 · 8,562 accessesView PDFCite
