3D concrete printing is a perspective technology for sustainable construction and realization of sophisticated architectural projects. The current research proposes the thermal engineering calculation wall structure based on printed element total thickness 150 mm with internal air layer about 75 mm. mixture was designed addition perlite as filler in dosage 8 % by weight cement. process performe...

This article identifies and examines the symbolic significance of two-story concrete wall murals in Takoradi, which currently evidences need to decode irreplaceable glimpse into diversity Ghanaian culture for future use while maintaining their original meaning purpose. The qualitative research approach was adopted using unstructured interviews on-site direct observations data collection. study ...

an application of aerated concret (foam concrete) was experimentally studied. in this study the compressive strength of the proposed concrete was measured the effect of parameters such as aggregate size of broken stone, quantity of cement and various densities were exprementally studies, and the best mixture was select.these prepared mixtures are practically useful to optimize the consumption o...

abstract to resist lateral loads in concrete buildings, usually systems such as flexural frame, shear wall or their combinations are used. using x form of cable bracing in order to strengthen concrete buildings is a new method. this system is more economical compared with the other systems due to cables low weight, high tensile resistance, easy performance and less maintenance problems. in this...

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...

the steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...

Abstract Inter-vehicle communication system using 720 MHz band to prevent car crashes at an intersection has been proposed in Japan recently. In this paper, the propagation characteristics at an intersection surrounded by concrete block walls in residential area were analyzed by using the FDTD method for the first time. We investigated the influence of wall thickness and source locations on the...
