Timber panels and cold-formed steel sheeting are widely used in the construction industry, especially prefabricated structures, temporary housing informal settlements. This is because these materials available, can be cut fixed with hand tools, their lightweight makes them easy to transport build with. When together, there a potential for composite action developing between timber underlying sh...

The article investigates the shielding effectiveness (SE) of a metallic enclosure with multilayer composite cover over wide frequency range, from near-field magnetic (1 Hz–1 MHz) to far-field electromagnetic (4–14 GHz). Two enclosures are considered: conductive made aluminum and steel. is trilayer combining thin layer graphene Fe-Ni alloy on either side fiberglass plate. To determine SE these i...

Computer-numerical-control (CNC) fabrication of interlocking-plate timber structures is a promising form construction for housing with the potential to be socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. The primary mechanisms load transfer in these rely on direct contact friction between interlocking elements, without nails screws used conventional structures. development connections re...
