The Public's Role in Seismic Design Provisions
Earthquake Spectra, 2016Seismic design provisions in the United States reflect structural engineers’ experience, technical capabilities, and judgment of what is in the public's interest. Yet the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Code of Ethics implicitly requires civil engineers to make a reasonable effort to elicit and reflect the preferences of the public, whose ...

Provision of design temperatures
2023To design a building adapted to local climate requires a number of different climate indicators, one of them is design temperatures (DUT) for summer and winter.  The classic definition of summer design temperature was the maximum temperature exceeded 50 hours a typical year, and for winter the coldest three day average temperature.

Biased managers, organizational design, and incentive provision [PDF]
Economics Letters, 2004 We model the tradeoff between the balance and the strength of incentives implicit in the choice between hierarchical and matrix organizational structures. We show that managerial biases determine which structure is optimal: hierarchical forms are preferred when biases are low, while matrix structures are preferred when biases are high.

Incentive Design for Flexibility Provisions From Residential Energy Hubs in Smart Grid
IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2021Transforming residential loads to residential energy hubs (REHs) and hence creating a flexibility in their energy consumption, can offer significant benefits to the power grid, such as peak reduction, congestion relief and capacity deferral.
