Prototype Implementation of an Automated Structural Steel Tracking System

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
K M. Furlani, D T. Latimer, David E. Gilsinn, Alan M. Lytle
This paper discusses the prototype implementation of a system developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the transfer of real-time on-site metrology and metrology-based data for tracking steel frame

Report of the NIST Workshop on Automated Steel Construction

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Alan M. Lytle, Kamel S. Saidi, William C. Stone, John L. Gross
The Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in cooperation with the American Institute of Steel Construction, sponsored a workshop on automated steel construction. The purpose of the workshop was to

Thermal and Flammability Properties of Polypropylene-Carbon Nanotube Composites

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, E A. Grulke, J N. Hilding, Richard H. Harris Jr., W H. Awad, Jack F. Douglas
Nanocomposites based on polypropylene and carbon nanotubes (up to 2 vol.-%) were melt blended, yielding good dispersion of the nanotubes without using any organic treatment or additional additives. Carbon nanotubes enhance the thermal stability of

Towards the Ultimate Construction Site Sensor

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
William C. Stone, Maris Juberts
The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG), in cooperation with the NIST Intelligent Systems Division (ISD), is developing performance metrics and researching issues related to the design and development of a Next Generation LADAR sensor

Wind and Seismic Effects: Proceedings of the 34th Joint Meeting

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
Stephen A. Cauffman
This publication is the proceedings of the 34th Joint Meeting of the US-Japan Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects. The meeting was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, during 13-15 May 2002. The proceedings

Modeling Ion Transport Mechanisms in Unsaturated Porous Media

August 27, 2002
Author(s)
J Marchand, E Samson, Kenneth A. Snyder, J J. Beaudoin
The transport of ions in colloids, granular and consolidated porous media is important to a wide variety of environmental and engineering problems. Typical examples are the transport of contaminants in marine sediments, the containment of hazardous waste

A Priority Agenda for Energy-Related Indoor Environmental Quality Research

July 1, 2002
Author(s)
W J. Fisk, G Brager, M Brook, H Burge, J Cole, J Cummings, H Levin, V Loftness, T Logee, M J. Mendell, Andrew K. Persily, S Taylor, J Zhang
A multidisciplinary team of IEQ and energy researchers is working together to define a program of priority energy-related IEQ research. This paper describes the methods employed, ten high priority broad research and development (R&D) goals, and 34 high

Community-Scale Fire Spread

July 1, 2002
Author(s)
Ronald G. Rehm, Anthony P. Hamins, Howard R. Baum, Kevin B. McGrattan, D D. Evans
This paper addresses community-scale fires, which have also been called urban/wildland interface or intermix fires. These fires arise when wildlandfires invade the built environment and attack structures as well as wildland fuels. The prediction of the

Dynamic Range Limitations in Phase Doppler Interferometry Measurements

July 1, 2002
Author(s)
J F. Widmann, Cary Presser, Stefan D. Leigh
It has been well established that the dynamic range of phase Doppler interferometry (PDI) size measurements is limited by the photomultiplier tubes (PMT). A statistical method is presented to overcome this limitation by combining data sets collected over
