PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR GABION FACED REINFORCED SOIL WALL IN A COLD, SNOWY ENVIRONMENT USING PERMEABLE HEAT INSULATING MATERIALS

Thermal Insulating Concrete Wall Panel Design for Sustainable Built Environment

Air-conditioning system plays a significant role in providing users a thermally comfortable indoor environment, which is a necessity in modern buildings. In order to save the vast energy consumed by air-conditioning system, the building envelopes in envelope-load dominated buildings should be well designed such that the unwanted heat gain and loss with environment can be minimized. In this pape...

Optimal Retrofit Design of Reinforced Concrete Frame with Infill Wall Using Fiber Reinforced Plastic Materials

Abstract—Various retrofit techniques for reinforced concrete frame with infill wall have been steadily developed. Among those techniques, strengthening methodology based on diagonal FRP strips (FRP bracings) has numerous advantages such as feasibility of implementing without interrupting the building under operation, reduction of cost and time, and easy application. Considering the safety of st...

A Theoretical Study of Wall Ironing for Anisotropic Workharden Materials

flexural strength of cold and heat cure acrylic resins reinforced with different materials

o bjectives: heat-polymerized acrylic resin has been the most commonly used denture base material for over 60 years. however, the mechanical strength of acrylic resin is not adequate for long-term clinical performance of dentures. consequently, fracture is a com- mon clinical occurrence, which often occurs in the midline of denture base.this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cold cure and...

THERMAL PERFORMANCE SIMULATION OF HYDROPONIC GREEN WALL IN A COLD CLIMATE

The green hydroponics walls are among new kinds of building facades, which receive more attention from architects lately. In addition to the positive effect these walls have in maintaining humidity in arid regions, they also have positive thermal performance in both cold and hot weather conditions. Therefore, they are in the center of designers’ focus for public spaces such as schools. In terms...
