Development of a High-Efficiency, Cost-Effective Ground Source Heat Pump System for Single-Family Houses
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Multi-Source Heat Pump systems are intended to achieve a high system efficiency through the combined or alternate use of two or more sources for a heat pump. This thesis entails the research work to develop a hybrid Ground ... -
Development of Sustainable Construction Material From Fly Ash C
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Environmental issues caused by the production of Portland cement have necessitated its replacement by waste materials like fly ash which has been proven to be quite beneficial environmentally and economically. Therefore, ... -
Effects of Nano Silica and Basalt Fibers on Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Emission of carbon dioxide gas has been a source of major concern for the construction industry. To curb this emission, geopolymer concrete has been deemed as a potential alternative in the recent studies. Previous research ... -
Environmental and Economic Outlook of Construction and Demolition Waste Management Practices in a Mid-Sized City
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Construction and demolition waste (CDW) left at landfill sites increases the burden on landfills, which are increasingly becoming scarce and costly to operate. In North Dakota, CDW generated is disposed of at the Fargo ... -
Environmental Information Modeling: An Integration of Building Information Modeling and Geographic Information Systems for Lean and Green Developments
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Building Information Modeling (BIM), used by many for building design and construction, and Geographic Information GIS System (GIS), used for city planning, contain large spatial and attribute data which could be used for ... -
Feasibility Study for Building Information Modeling (BIM) Education at the Community College
(North Dakota State University, 2015)With limited time and minimal skill sets of students at the community college, it is challenging to integrate new course material into a two-year degree or technical certificate in Building Construction Management while ... -
Geostatistical Interpolation and Analyses of Washington State AADT Data from 2009 – 2016
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data in the transportation industry today is an important tool used in various fields such as highway planning, pavement design, traffic safety, transport operations, and policy-making/analyses. ... -
Identification of Factors Contributing to Traffic Fatalities in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Traffic accidents not only cause injuries and deaths but also result in significant property and economic losses. With annual 40,000 lives lost in United States and $80 billion in economic losses, research in minimizing ... -
Identification of the Root Causes of Construction Accidents: Method-Related Causes
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Safety in construction is a problem that has been gaining increased attention in recent years. Although lots of research is being done to address different aspects of improving safety, the challenge remains in narrowing ... -
