Quantifying the Flexibility of Centralized Hot Water Systems at a University Campus by Considering Demand Response Participation Uncertainty

Centralized hot water systems in university dormitories can provide significant energy flexibility through demand response (DR). Thus far, however, existing studies have mainly focused on system-level optimization and have failed to provide a quantitative framework that accounts...

In-Plane Shear Behavior of Masonry Walls Strengthened with High-Ductility Concrete and Steel Connectors

This study investigates the influence of high-ductility concrete (HDC) strengthening configurations and steel connector positions on the in-plane shear performance of masonry walls in a retrofit scenario where the external masonry facade is retained while the original masonry wal...
