Seismic performance of reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints with novel reinforcement detail (2020)
Journal Article
Shen, X., Li, B., Chen, Y., & Tizani, W. (2021). Seismic performance of reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints with novel reinforcement detail. Engineering Structures, 227, Article 111408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.111408

Horizontal stirrups are normally required in reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints (BCJs) for resisting shear forces in seismic design. For RC moment-resisting frames subjected to a high lateral load, a large number of stirrups are needed in jo...

A Knowledge-Based Model for Constructability Assessment of Buildings Design Using BIM (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Fadoul, A., Tizani, W., & Osorio-Sandoval, C. A. (2020). A Knowledge-Based Model for Constructability Assessment of Buildings Design Using BIM. In E. Toledo Santos, & S. Scheer (Eds.), Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering: ICCCBE 2020 (147-159). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51295-8_13

Economic and time efficiency can be attained in the construction industry by applying the principles of constructability. Existing empirical studies demonstrate that incorporating these principles into initial stages of design maximise outcomes for a...

Discrete-Event Simulation and Building Information Modelling Based Animation of Construction Activities (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Osorio-Sandoval, C. A., Tizani, W., Pereira, E., Koch, C., & Fadoul, A. (2021). Discrete-Event Simulation and Building Information Modelling Based Animation of Construction Activities. In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering: ICCCBE 2020 (285-294). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51295-8_21

Discrete-event simulation (DES) technology has been widely used in the construction context, particularly in the academic community for research purposes. However, it has been neglected by industry for various reasons, including the usual way in whic...

Effect of Concrete Infill and Slenderness on Column-Face Component in Anchored Blind-Bolt Connections (2020)
Journal Article
Tizani, W., Mahmood, M., & Bournas, D. (2020). Effect of Concrete Infill and Slenderness on Column-Face Component in Anchored Blind-Bolt Connections. Journal of Structural Engineering, 146(4), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29ST.1943-541X.0002557

© 2020 American Society of Civil Engineers. Previous research on blind-bolted connections to hollow columns have provided a wealth of experimental data but little information on parametric analytical models to guide their design. One of the connectio... Read More about Effect of Concrete Infill and Slenderness on Column-Face Component in Anchored Blind-Bolt Connections.
