“…This comparison is performed based on a cumulative density function (CDF) for total accidental load proposed in original sources The standard deviation of this imposed load model is calculated by Eq. (21), with σ V the standard deviation of the overall load intensity, σ U the standard deviation associated with the spatial variation of the load, A 0 an occupancy-specific reference area, A the loaded area and k an influence factor (commonly between 1 and 2.4; further taken as 2.2 for agreement with (Ellingwood, and Culver, 1977).…”

The paper discusses two main design strategies when checking for reliability and considers accidental action combinations according the various codes. If accidental actions can be identified, one of the possible design strategies is checking the “key element”. This strategy minimizes the possibility of local failure and subsequent progressive collapse. The combination of actions for accidental design situation for checking of the “key-element” resistance was proposed. In addition, the values of the combination factors for variable loads and partial factors for permanent loads in accordance with required reliability class RC for structural element and values of accidental loads was proposed. The second strategy is checking modified structural systems in accidental design situation from unidentified accidental actions. For this case, a comparison of several probabilistic models was performed, as well as a probabilistic assessment of the accidental action combinations according the various codes.

“…An intensive green roof requires a planting medium of at least 1 foot to 3 feet in depth and can accommodate the growth of trees and shrubs while an extensive green medium is thinner and accommodates shallow root plants such as grasses and sedums [10]. The intensive green roof can effectively protect a building surface from direct sunshine, but it also requires thoughtful inspection of structural safety of a building because weight of soils cannot be negligible [11,12]. Therefore, the extensive green medium less than 6 inches has been widely adopted in practice [13].…”

Simulation Modeling of a Photovoltaic-Green Roof System for Energy Cost Reduction of a Building: Texas Case Study

2021

This study aims at introducing a modeling and simulation approach for a green roof system which can reduce energy cost of a building exposed to high temperatures throughout the summer season. First, to understand thermal impact of a green roof system on a building surface, a field-based study has been conducted in Commerce, Texas, U.S., where the average maximum temperature in summer is 104 °F (40 °C). Two types of analyses were conducted: (1) comparison of temperature between different plant type via Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and (2) polynomial regression analysis to develop thermal impact estimation model based on air temperature and presence of a green roof. In addition, an agent-based simulation (ABS) model was developed via AnyLogic® University 8.6.0 simulation software, Chicago, IL, U.S., in order to accurately estimate energy cost and benefits of a building with a photovoltaic-green roof system. The proposed approach was applied to estimate energy reduction cost of the Keith D. McFarland Science Building at Texas A&M University, Commerce, Texas (33.2410° N, 95.9104° W). As a result, the proposed approach was able to save $740,325.44 in energy cost of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HAVC) system in the subject building. The proposed approach will contribute to the implementation of a sustainable building and urban agriculture.
