Application of PV Panels in Large Multi-Story Buildings
Application of PV Panels in Large Multi-Story Buildings Feasibility Study Sara Kayal The awareness of global warming along with an ever increasing demand for a new source of energy has brought a strong interest in harnessing natural resources such as solar energy. This thesis evaluates the …

A space-constrained resource-constrained scheduling system for multi-story buildings
… availability. The research’s domain focuses on multi-story building construction with particular focus on the repetitive portion of the facility (i.e. typical floors). The research studies the issues of work space as a new decision factor for schedule generation in this type of construction. A …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… the poor performance of one class of existing buildings. Many older buildings were designed prior to the implementation of modern seismic design codes. Although building codes have clearly evolved, the problem is still unresolved for older buildings that are code-deficient such as soft-story …

Application of the Finite Element Method to the Seismic Design and Analysis of Large Moment End-Plate Connections
… the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (1997) make current moment end-plate configurations and design procedures inadequate for multi-story buildings. This dissertation first examines and critiques current seismic design philosophies as applied to moment end-plate connections. …

Wind- Chimney (Integrating the Principles of a Wind-Catcher and a Solar-Chimney to Provide Natural Ventilation)
… integrated with a solar-chimney in a single story building so that the resident might benefit from natural ventilation, a passive cooling system, and heating strategies; it would also help to decrease energy use, CO2 emissions, and pollution. This system is able to remove undesirable interior …

Modeling buoyancy-driven airflow in ventilation shafts
Naturally ventilated buildings can significantly reduce the required energy for cooling and ventilating buildings by drawing in outdoor air using non-mechanical forces. Buoyancy-driven systems are common in naturally ventilated commercial buildings because of their reliable performance in …

Prediction of Bending Properties of Lightly Modified Bamboo from Bambusa blumeana
… been developed for wall and floor systems for multi-story buildings. Mass bamboo panels use lightly modified bamboo (LMB) where the top and bottom of round bamboo are flattened to create gluing surfaces. Mass bamboo panels use layers of LMB in different configurations to create beams and …

House Recycled
… in the following points: 1. Traditional buildings, when decayed, generate a large amount of construction waste, which occupies more land and resources in the form of landfills. New buildings should aim to minimize or eliminate construction waste generation, thus reducing environmental …

Multi-axial Active Isolation for Seismic Protection of Buildings
… excitations. Earthquakes are intrinsically multi-dimensional, resulting in out-of-plane responses, including torsional responses. Therefore, an active isolation system for buildings using multi-axial active control devices against multi-directional excitations must be considered. The focus …

Smart Building Energy Management System for Energy Efficiency and Demand Response
Buildings account for a significant share of total energy use throughout the world. Religious facilities, which account for a substantial portion of overall floor space and energy use in the commercial sector, have rarely been the subject of energy efficiency and management studies. Religious …
