Design and analysis of US Navy shipbuilding contract architecture
… If shipbuilding contracts could be described in engineering architectural terms, then perhaps that architecture could provide better clarity of contract options. Further, if contracting can be described as an engineering architecture, then perhaps that architecture could be optimized for a given …

Water-based digital design and fabrication : material, product, and architectural explorations in printing chitosan and its composites
… of water-based biomaterial structures at the architectural, and product-scale. Water is harnessed to tune biomaterial properties, to guide shape formation by natural evaporation, and to fully recycle and reuse material structures. Initial outcomes demonstrate self-supporting structural …

Evaluation of lateritic coarse aggregates as a partial replacement for granite coarse aggregates in structural concrete.
In Zambia, coarse aggregates for concreting are normally produced by crushing granite, limestone and basalt among other rock types. However, these rocks are scarce diminishing natural resources and henceforth; the need to study other naturally available materials for full or partial replacement; …

Lateral Strength and Ductile Behavior of a Mortise-Tenon Connected Timber Frame
<p>The primary goals of this project were to examine the amount of lateral force resisted by a single-bay mortise-tenon connected timber moment frame, and to introduce ductile behavior into the mortise-tenon connections by adding a steel sleeve around a traditional wood peg. This research aimed to …

Assessing the Technology Used by UAVs in Data Acquisition on Construction Sites
The question this thesis intends to answer is whether General Contractors (GCs) can indeed benefit from the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the construction process. With the technology of UAVs, cameras, thermographic scanners, and laser scanners with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), …

Adoption of building information modeling in developing countries: a phenomenological perspective
… prominent challenges in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries in most of the developed countries. Construction industries in developing countries due to identified challenges and unavailability of the clear understanding of best practices, are dithering whether to …

Seismic Performance Comparison of a Fixed-Base Versus a Base-Isolated Office Building
<p>The topic of this thesis is base isolation. The purpose of this thesis is to offer a relative understanding of the seismic performance enhancements that a typical 12-story steel office building can achieve through the implementation of base isolation technology. To reach this understanding, the …
