The Analysis of Thermal and Fire Performance of Cementitious Building Components
… members subjected to fire are the major components of this research. In this thesis a non-linear finite element procedure is proposed to predict the temperature distribution history in the cross section of structural members, such as beams composed of reinforced concrete, in fire …

Work optimization with association rule mining of negative effective deterioration in building components
The objective of enterprise building infrastructure management is to provide optimal allocation of maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement (MR&R) resources and to preserve the condition of building components over a planning horizon. While most approaches have studied it as a finite resource …

The Modulo: Bridging Community and Individuality in Multi-Family Housing
Modular construction, a method where building components are prefabricated off-site and then transported as completed modules, is generally employed to save time and cost in the building industry. Despite its default as a repetitive component, it holds potential to address both individuality and …
