Fuzzy-stochastic model to assess defects in low-rise residential buildings

Journal of Building Engineering, 2021
Abstract Understanding the severity level of defects in buildings can help project managers to take appropriate corrective actions. The objective of this study is to assess the severity of defects in low-rise residential buildings and develop a stochastic model for predicting the likelihood of occurrence of various categories of defects.

Optimization planning of low-rise residential buildings

2016 2nd International Conference on Industrial Engineering, Applications and Manufacturing (ICIEAM), 2016
This paper presents a novel heuristic algorithm to solve the problem of optimal planning low-rise residential buildings. For this problem, many engineering companies try to use efficient methods to reduce costs. Firstly, it is shown that a comprehensive search is only effective on a small number of data.

Harvesting wind energy in low-rise residential buildings: Design and optimization of building forms

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017
Abstract As a renewable energy source, wind power has received growing attentions, but mostly been utilized in wind power farms or high-rise buildings where the wind with high speed is available. Few studies focus on the micro-wind utilization in low-rise buildings due to the bottleneck that the wind speed cannot meet the minimal speed requirement of

Equivalent parameterized beam model for nailed connections in low-rise residential buildings

Engineering Structures, 2017
Abstract Increased frequency and intensity of coastal storms has renewed interest in the structural performance of coastal low-rise residential homes. Post hazard surveys indicate connections that form the load path from sheathing to framing to foundation play a pivotal role in the failure modes of these non-engineered structures.

ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF A TYPICAL LOW-RISE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OF 1939-1955

Vìsnik Nacìonalʹnogo unìversitetu "Lʹvìvsʹka polìtehnìka". Serìâ Arhìtektura, 2023
Architectural features of typical low-rise residential buildings in the period 1939-1955 in ukraine are considered. It was noted that it was at this time that the mass construction of housing for the population in Ukraine was actively developing during industrialization, consolidation of villages (creation of «agricultural towns») and post-war ...
