Hygrothermal Effects of Air Cavities Behind Claddings on Building Envelopes

Xie, Yanmei (North Dakota State University, 2022)

Air cavity behind claddings within building envelope provides an approach to mitigating building moisture-related issues as well as improving the building’s thermal performance. However, studies in literature commonly ...
Numerical Simulation and Structural Optimization of Composite Rigid Frame Bridge

Xie, Yanmei (North Dakota State University, 2017)

A composite rigid frame bridge replaces a certain portion of the concrete middle span of a bridge with a section of the steel girder. While the steel span improves the bending moment distribution of the rigid frame structure, ...
