Concern for the perpetuation of stone monuments is deeply ingrained in humans; however, despite attempts made this field, there still a great deal effort needed to bring about advancements conservation ornamental stone. Erosive agents, such as rain, extreme temperatures, and chemical biological threaten our heritage gradually wear away buildings, sculptures, other found all around world. Limest...

The construction technique of raw earth, which has always been in use most the world, left large monuments or architectural complexes to cultural heritage that need special attention due notable vulnerability material. A convenient way deal this threat, besides physical intervention, is by using an information system, such as HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling), a tool for damage asse...

Groundwater depletion is one of the serious geo-environmental issues causing ground subsidence, which damage buildings, infrastructures and causes loss life. The quantitative qualitative evaluation groundwater variability requires multiple approaches to measure hydraulic head level geodetic deformation. In this study, we have made efforts integrate hierarchical space-borne data, including Gravi...

Lately, it has been observed that buildings are becoming daring in their design, with forms and structures appears to defy the law of gravity. The architecture discipline deployed create eye-catching, even startling isolated space serves multiple purposes from authoritarian state-building symbols development, "must-see" objects driving tourist a particular place. These dramatic, monumental asse...

In this paper, we briefly introduce different types of buildings such as spherical buildings, Euclidean buildings, twin buildings, R-buildings and describe some of their applications to many subjects: (1) differential geometry such as Mostow strong rigidity, rank rigidity of nonpositively curved manifolds, Margulis superrigidity, quasi-isometry rigidity, classification of isoparametric manifold...

This paper aims to investigate the energy saving and carbon reduction performance of cross-laminated timber residential buildings in the severe cold region of China through a computational simulation approach. The authors selected Harbin as the simulation environment, designed reference residential buildings with different storeys which were constructed using reinforced concrete (RC) and cross-...
