Comparison Between Precast And Cast-In-Place Reinforced Concrete Structures In Mexico City, Santiago Rodriguez Sanchez
Comparison Between Precast And Cast-In-Place Reinforced Concrete Structures In Mexico City, Santiago Rodriguez Sanchez
English Language Institute
Both Precast and Cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures have its own advantages and disadvantages. However, Precast RC structures have more advantages than Cast-in-place RC structures. Furthermore, it has been found that, under seismic loads, Precast structures can behave similar to Cast-in-place ones. Therefore Precast structures are an optimal option in Mexico City.

Dissertations - ALL
The overall goal of the study was to develop a "Virtual Design Studio (VDS)": a software platform for integrated, coordinated and optimized design of green building systems with low energy consumption, high indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and high level of sustainability. My dissertation research was focused on the development of a key VDS component -- an integrated design process and a near-real time performance simulation approach for fast feedbacks at the early stage of the integrated design process.
A design process module "Magic Cube" (MC) was developed for the VDS as the core for the design integration and coordination. It …
