Experimental Study of Thermal Buoyancy in the Cavity of Ventilated Roofs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Pitched wooden roofs are ventilated through an air cavity beneath the roofing in order to remove heat and moisture from the roof construction. The ventilation is driven by wind pressure and thermal buoyancy. This paper ... -
Exploring Pre-Construction Activities in Infrastructure Projects That Can Benefit from Contractor Involvement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The pre-construction phase of public infrastructure projects is characterized by significant uncertainty as crucial decisions are made with limited information. This early stage of project development is influenced by a ... -
Facilitating building projects’ short-term and long-term value creation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Real estate and buildings are some of facility managers’ most costly resources. Thus, knowledge about how to get the most out of building or renovation projects both in the short term and in the long term are of great ... -
Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams under Instantaneous Loading: Effects of Recycled Ceramic as Cement and Aggregates Replacement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The flexural behavior of five reinforced concrete beams containing recycled ceramic as cement and aggregate replacement subjected to a monotonic static load up to failure was studied. A full-scale, four-point load test was ... -
Hybrid krill herd-ann model for prediction strength and stiffness of bolted connections
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The behavior of beam-to-column connections significantly influences the stability, strength, and stiffness of steel structures. This is particularly important in extreme non-elastic responses, i.e., earthquakes, and sudden ... -
Hygrothermal Simulation of Interior Insulated Brick Wall - Perspectives on Uncertainty and Sensitivity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Energy retrofit of existing masonry buildings has become attractive to meet demands for reduction in energy consumption. Retrofit may, however, introduce moisture risk that needs to be assessed. Hygrothermal simulation ... -
