A new study in the journal Buildings considers how continuous glass fiber and resin are used to make glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. They are corrosion-resistant, have high tensile strength, and are light in weight.
Recently, a team of researchers, writing in the journal Buildings, has considered daily global and diffuse solar radiation evaluated on a horizontal surface to establish the most efficient angles of installation.
A study in the journal Buildings looks at how design discourses and practices can be used to both alleviate the negative effects of (un-)natural disasters and lead to good post-disaster regeneration.
Present architectural design digital interpretation tools implement a visualization strategy that reflects the building’s form through the use of plans, sections, elevations, and perspective views. A study presented in the journal Architecture considers the use of Algorithmic Design in Virtual Reality to facilitate the design stage of planning.
Knowledge Management (KM) has gained considerable attention both in academia and industry. KM promotes the productive dissemination of knowledge in an organization pertaining to the requirements of a specific project.
Researchers, writing in the journal Buildings, have come up with a system that allows collaboration between educators and architects to create school designs suitable to the needs of the school at the time as well as in the future. This article reviews this research.
This article provides a review of a study on the use of coal bottom ash with silica fume as an alternative for fine aggregate material in concrete. The researchers published their review in the journal Buildings.
This article reviews a study on the carbon emissions produced by modular construction methods versus those using traditional reinforced concrete. The researchers, writing in the journal Buildings, used a Korean case study to investigate their hypothesis.
