The construction industry's focus on a low-carbon economy will result in the need for deeper examination of natural-based building materials. From an environmental point view, benefits these materials are undeniable. However, it is necessary to consider their shortcomings other areas design terms thermal engineering. This article observes and evaluates wall designed wooden with almost zero ener...

Manufacturing induced imperfections in composites lead to a reduction the performance of structure. In order carry out repairs only when they are really necessary, evaluation capabilities determine strength required. Two methods presented: finite element based and Peridynamic approach, respectively. The process is used evaluate stiffness reduction. This processes currently doesn't include progr...
