The Assessment of Building Energy Functionality in the Integrated Building Design [PDF]
Proceedings, 2019 Buildings are significant contributors to energy-related sustainability challenges and a sustainable future. Practice shows—that the traditional building design process is becoming ineffective and will no longer be able to meet the determined ...

Selection of Response Reduction Factor Considering Resilience Aspect [PDF]
Buildings, 2023 The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building is critical to the building’s seismic response.

Accounting for Resilience in the Selection of R Factors for a RC Unsymmetrical Building
Applied Sciences, 2023 Several design codes consider the non-linear response of a building by using one of the most important seismic parameters, called the response reduction factor (R).

Constructing Hospitals for Functionality after Earthquakes: Saves Lives and Costs!
Buildings, 2023 Applications of the American Seismic Isolator Standard “SIS” are summarized. The SIS is the only construction standard that specifies design criteria for retaining the functionality of hospitals after earthquakes.

Building functional cities [PDF]
Science, 2016 The literature views many African cities as dysfunctional with a hodgepodge of land uses and poor “connectivity.” One driver of inefficient land uses is construction decisions for highly durable buildings made under weak institutions. In a novel approach, we model the dynamics of urban land use with both formal and slum dwellings and ongoing urban ...

Functional code building genetic programming
Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2022 General program synthesis has become an important application area for genetic programming (GP), and for artificial intelligence more generally. Code Building Genetic Programming (CBGP) is a recently introduced GP method for general program synthesis that leverages reflection and first class specifications to support the evolution of programs that may ...

Using Fuzzy Logic Based Decision Support Systems for New Function Selection in Structures
Journal of Architectural Sciences and Applications, 2023 These buildings, which function as important documents for the period in which they were built, and which have managed to preserve their original qualities, have been abandoned as a result of various some factors and have lose their functionality.

The Golgi and the centrosome: building a functional partnership [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2010 The mammalian Golgi apparatus is characterized by a ribbon-like organization adjacent to the centrosome during interphase and extensive fragmentation and dispersal away from the centrosome during mitosis. It is not clear whether this dynamic association between the Golgi and centrosome is of functional significance.

Automated BIM-based structural design and cost optimization model for reinforced concrete buildings
Scientific Reports, 2022 The process of optimizing building designs requires developing several architectural and structural layout alternatives. Traditionally, limited number of design iterations can be conducted manually, which is time consuming and results in non-optimum ...
