Abstract: Residential land prices are crucial for any country’s economy and development. There is, therefore, the need to identify factors affecting the increase in the overall land prices as a first step toward accurately evaluating land assets. This research aims to find the factors affecting residential property prices worldwide b [...] Read more.
Abstract: In this study, we conducted electrical resistivity tests and small-diameter drilling tests on mortar surface layers using water-cement ratio and unit water content as experimental factors, and we investigated the effect of electrical resistivity on the drilling speed. Results showed that water content had a considerable eff [...] Read more.
Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced mortars (GRM) are widely used exterior material in construction. However, their flexural strength decreases owing to the deterioration of glass fibers in alkali environment, which can be attributed to the formation of Ca(OH)2. On the other hand, Geopolymers (GP) that do not use cement as a binder can [...] Read more.
Abstract: In this study, we examined evaluation methods based on hydraulic flux measured with the permeability-testing device GWT-4000 and its relationship with bleeding, which affects surface layer quality. We also analyzed the effects on bleeding of the permeability distribution in the height direction of a sample. The results show [...] Read more.

Abstract: The anchorage design with baseplates according to EN 1992-4 [1] and ACI 318 [2] postulates that the baseplates need to be sufficiently rigid, because the linear distribution of anchor forces is required for calculating the concrete failure resistance of anchor groups.
With the precondition that the baseplate is suffici [...] Read more.

Abstract: The design of anchor fastenings in concrete is dealt with in EN 1992-4 [1] only for simple anchor layouts (Figure 1). For fastenings with gap in the fixture near the edge under shear load towards to the edge, maximum of two anchors in a row parallel to the edge can be designed. In the case of fastenings under torsional mome [...] Read more.

Abstract: The main use of the lateral intakes is water conversion from a main channel into a branch channel for different purposes such as water distribution network, irrigation and cooling systems at thermal power plants. The flow structure at the intake is very complicated due to sediment diversions. The intake usually installed ma [...] Read more.
Abstract: The air quality in the premises with the presence of people affects the performance and health of a person. In the context of the spread of infections and various respiratory diseases, air exchange in the room, the presence of fresh, clean air become a mandatory requirement to prevent the development of diseases. During the [...] Read more.
Abstract: In order to find out the sensitivity of influencing factors on the slope stability of geogrid reinforced tailings dam, the single index multi factor numerical simulation test was designed by orthogonal method, Five influencing factors including elastic modulus (E), laying length (L), laying spacing (d), pseudo-cohesion of r [...] Read more.

Abstract: Very long dry seasons due to high temperature and decrease of rainfall rate, may threaten the stability of dams and dikes, and make them more sensitive to internal erosion. This vulnerability raises a question of how such hydraulic structures could behave after the degradation of soil properties. This research investigated [...] Read more.

Abstract: In general Primary Air fan (PA Fan) foundation consist of a block foundation / semi framed foundation with heavy concrete mass. Its dynamic behavior is studied using Barkan’s method by most of the engineering practitioners. This method has limitations in providing wholistic details of foundation behavior like transient stag [...] Read more.

Abstract: Many schools of architecture focus on developing students' competence in the spatial and aesthetic aspects of architectural design, with less effort to inform them about the multidisciplinary nature of actual design in practice. The paper will describe the main disciplines that are often involved in the design and construct [...] Read more.
Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2019
Abstract: A Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system has the potential for reducing CO2 emission and fossil fuel consumption. The high heating efficiency of a typical GSHP system compared to conventional heating devices, such as gas-fired furnaces or boilers, makes it more attractive in cold-climate regions, e.g., the areas of the north [...] Read more.

Abstract: Waste foundry sand, often piled in a large amount in the enclosures of the foundries, is the by-product of metal casting industry. Rice hull which is often burned after it is removed from rice is also a by-product of the agriculture industry. Disposing of these wastes leads to the environmental pollution. To optimal use of [...] Read more.

Abstract: Problems on motion of cylindrical bodies in continuum are widely represented in the monograph [1]. The problems represented in the reference refer to the motion of a cylinder in acoustic or elastic medium and are solved by operational method with finding originals by numericl methods [2]. Below we construct special solution [...] Read more.

Abstract: There is, however, limited knowledge of how precisely the needs of disabled people are defined and incorporated, or not, into the design and development for the accessible environment1. This study assumes that the accessible design in public places facilities are of benefit not only to disabled people but all people with th [...] Read more.

Abstract: The recent global financial crisis points to the importance of the allocation of risks among different housing market actors. The purpose of the paper is to provide taxonomy for identifying and comparing the allocation of risks typically in China and Sweden during housing development and ownership. The risk assessments are [...] Read more.
