Abstract:

The premise, that building codes have become too complex, has been discussed, commented on, and documented by practicing engineers; however, prior to this research there was little scientific evidence that codes have increased in complexity over time. There are many aspects of building codes that are complicated, and this reflects a combination of the inherent complexity of building design and the dynamical processes that produce the codes. This research focuses on navigational complexity and specifically the aspects that can be quantified to demonstrate current codes are more complex than the

Abstract:

The advent of performance-based codes in the United States underscores the need for a thorough, systematic approach to the documentation and accomplishment of a performance-based design. This project has three objectives: economic analysis of performance-based codes from a social view point, documentation of a performance-based design, and an example application of the ICC Performance-Based Code to high-rise office building. Economic issues explored include the externalities, insurance, and liabilities associated with performance-based codes. Documentation of a performance-based design include

Abstract:

Buildings are a major contributor to energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, and their energy-efficient renovation has been widely accepted as a cornerstone in the low-carbon transition of Europe’s cities. Through an investigation into the policies and practices for the retrofitting of residential buildings, the research draws on the experience gained by leading member states and exemplary retrofit projects to highlight their most innovative aspects and practical implications from a design perspective. To this aim, the research starts by presenting facts and figures about

The appearance of the contemporary suburb is one of its most criticized and problematic features. Architects find themselves challenged by its increasing size and complicated planning issues. These challenges are compounded because traditional methods of control do not specifically confront these issues.

Abstract:

This thesis is divided into two topics: the development of a procedure for wind serviceability design of steel buildings and the development of a simple linear response history analysis for building codes. In the United States the building codes are generally silent on the issue of serviceability. This has led to a wide variation in design practices related to service level wind loads.

Abstract:

Lateral load carrying capacities of reinforced concrete structures which are designed by considering only gravity loads or according to outdated earthquake codes can be insufficient. The most important problem for these buildings is the limited ductility of the frame elements.

Recent earthquakes which occurred in the Marmara Region in the last decade have increased the number of seismic assessment projects drastically. However, there was no special guide

The turbulent nature of the wind flow coupled with additional turbulence created by the wind-building interaction result in highly non-uniform, fluctuating wind-loading on building envelopes.

However, given the complexity of wind loading on low-rise buildings, its codification can be difficult, and it often entails significant inconsist

Most of the reinforced concrete systems are monolithic. During construction, concrete from the bottom of the deepest beam to the top of slab, is placed at once. Therefore the slab serves as the top flange of the beams. Such a beam is referred to as T-beam. In a floor system made of T-beams, the compressive stress is a maximum over the web, dropping between the webs. The distribution of compressive stress on the flange depends on the relative dimensions of the cross section, span length, support and loading conditions.

Abstract:

The seismic analysis of tall buildings requires nonlinear analysis in order to determine their behaviour in a more realistic manner. Nonlinear analysis necessitates the input of suitable ground motions records that represent the hazard at the site of the building. Finding appropriate ground motions is an arduous task, mainly because there are not enough records that are compatible with the hazard level prescribed in the codes for the site of the building. Therefore, existing records must be modified somehow to match the target hazard. The National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) provides guidel

Abstract:

Residential and commercial buildings consume approximately 20% of the global energy generation. This value is continuously growing and the governments across the globe have realized the importance of regulating the building construction to optimize the energy utilization. Energy efficient building codes have been developed to optimize the energy efficiency in buildings. OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) is a key parameter for evaluating energy efficiency of building envelops in the present building code of Sri Lanka. In this research, the prescriptive requirements mentioned in the building

Abstract:

This report is aim to compared building standard of Chengdu city and Stockholm, as well as find out the suitable energy-saving scenario for two places. To simulate the total energy consumption of logistics building, energy software named design builder will be introduce to calculate. Some of other analysis will be implemented at the same time, including economic analysis, environment analysis and thermal comfort analysis.
