Humidity is an indoor environmental factor that can affect thermal comfort inside a building. Sustainable construction techniques to create and maintain healthy indoor condition, based on ecological principles and through an efficient use of resources are the requirement nowadays. Common cause of moisture during the hot season is excessive indoor humidity, caused by an improper balance between ...

The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...

A fundamental unit of computation is introduced for reactive programming called the LEGO R © brick. It is targeted for domains in which JavaScript runs in an attempt to allow a user to build a trustworthy reactive program on demand rather than try to analyze JavaScript. A formal definition is given for snapping bricks together based on the standard product construction for deterministic finite ...

This paper presents quality Clay-Brick selection process based on intuitionistic fuzzy multi criteria group decision making through grey relational analysis. Brick plays an important role in construction field. Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator is used to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers into a group opinion. Six criteria are considered for selection process and t...

This paper proposes, for low buildings, an integrated wall structure of a brick-stem-insulating layer, which plays a major part in both heat preservation and force bearing. The research team has tested the thermal performance of the structure, the results of which are satisfying. To further study the force-bearing performance, the paper carries out compressive tests of specimens of different st...

The associahedron is a polytope whose graph is the graph of flips on triangulations of a convex polygon. Pseudotriangulations and multitriangulations generalize triangulations in two different ways, which have been unified by Pilaud and Pocchiola in their study of pseudoline arrangements with contacts supported by a given network. In this paper, we construct the “brick polytope” of a network, o...
