Research Brief: Concrete building design optimization for reduced life cycle costs and environmental impacts
(2018-04)Decisions made at early stages of the building design process can have a large influence on the environmental performance and financial costs of a building. One of the best ways to discover preferable designs is to analyze ... -
Research Brief: Validation of Molecular Dynamics-Based Structural Damage
(2019-03)Windstorms currently generate $28 billion in average annual damage and this figure is projected to potentially rise to $38 billion by 2075. Traditional engineering approaches that analyze the resilience of structures fail ... -
Research Brief: Optimizing Building Life Cycle Environmental Impact and Cost
(2020-02)Existing building life cycle assessment tools rely on detailed building models that make it difficult to explore the environmental implications of design strategies in the earliest design phases. Most of these tools are ...
