Abstract:

Block restructuring has been strongly emphasized in Japan for renovating cities. However, little is known about the relation between block size and building shape. Moreover, the shape of buildings designed on a block after restructuring is unclear. In this study, the relation between block size and building shape is analyzed quantitatively, and a three-dimensional building shape is estimated by a model using an urban planning GIS data set of Tokyo. Results show the quantitative relation between block size and building shape, and the building shape image on the blocks. Higher buildings and buil

Moreover, the shape of buildings designed on a block after restructuring is unclear. Some estimation methods for urban physical status, such as building footprint location, floor area, and land use, have been developed in previous research. Taima et al.

Abstract:

With the development of construction technology and material, more and more super high-rise buildings will be constructed in the future. In a specific metropolitan area, super high-rise building with various cross-section and high side ratio have to been designed and constructed due to the size limitation of construction site. This kind of building is also very prone to wind excitations. In this research, wind tunnel tests for a practical case of this kind of building with surrounding buildings were carried out in atmospheric boundary wind tunnel.

Abstract:

This The palace is a formal structure representing the authority of the king and can be said to be the largest complex building group since ancient times. Ancient countries in Northeast Asia generally used ancient Chinese palaces as models and built palaces, and various norms and rituals were applied. However, since differences in perception of nature, topographical conditions, and differences in the use of tools and living customs cannot be excluded, a review based on the topography and environment of the area is needed in the construction of the royal palace.

Abstract:

The effects of buildings on the environment can be reduced with research-based alternative building designs. This study focuses on reducing the building space to lower the overall size of a building as a strategy to reduce the building’s embodied energy. The aim of this study was to investigate the initial embodied energy (IEE) of a residential building that was systematically reduced in size. Using input–output-based hybrid analysis, the IEE for three architecturally distinct four-bedroom residential prototypes (P1, P2, and P3) was calculated. The IEE for P1 (525 m2), P2 (266 m2), and P3 (109

Abstract:

The rotational seismic inputs for building design were discussed. The free ground rotations and the relation between free ground rotations and basement rotations were derived. The results show that the relation depends on the basement size, site and seismic frequency. For most building, the differences between the free ground rotations and the basement rotations are small. The suggestion is that for tall buildings the free ground rotations can be taken as the seismic input, but for low-rise building with large basement, the response spectra in short period region should be reduced.

Abstract:

Abstract Buildings are responsible for a significant portion of global energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. With population growth and urbanization on the rise, we have to rethink the way we build cities to enable greener and smarter living for all. Building with a vision for the future means thinking ahead to reduce our environmental impact. In this context the green certification of buildings is a method of evaluating their energy performance and environmental impact. This study examines environmental assessment tools commonly used for building green certification, including LEED (Leader

The aim of this work was to use simulation as a tool to better understand areas of orthokinetic (shear-induced) aggregation which are still not well understood. These areas include aggregate structure, aggregate strength, breakup and restructuring and combined perikinetic/orthokinetic aggregation. Previous simulation studies were reviewed and it was concluded that the methodology of Chen and Doi (1989) was an appropriate starting point for this study. The modified simulation was validated by comparison with theoretical and experimental results. Orthokinetic aggregates were found to have a fr

The effects of maximum size coarse aggregate on the relationship between accelerated strength and 14-day normally cured strength of normal and superplasticized concrete have been investigated. The results obtained show that differences among maximum size coarse aggregates are greater in normal concrete than in superplasticized concrete in strength-producing properties. Among the various sizes of aggregates investigated, one-half inch maximum size of coarse aggregate exhibited higher strength producing properties.

Congenital microcephaly (conMiC) is a manifestation of severely disrupted prenatal brain development, caused by genetic defects, toxins, severe maternal malnutrition, or infection. The Zika virus outbreak and the devastating impact of Zika infection on the fetal brain have focused much attention on the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of conMiC. Mendelian conMiC disorders offer a unique opportunity for understanding gene and protein networks that direct cellular processes essential for prenatal brain development. Using OMIM and literature searches, I analyzed 68 conMiC disorders and thei

Klimonas thus corresponds to the range of middle-sized PPNA villages.

The results show that the assessment of the compressive strength of concrete depends strongly on the aspect ratio and the diameter. Furthermore, the comparison between the core compressive strengths of samples with an aspect ratio of one and two could be

What determines the aggregate and distributional effects of new transportation infrastructure? One key overlooked channel is the role that infrastructure policy plays in changing the incentives of firms to enter, exit, and grow--in turn generating endogenous changes in local productivity. In this paper, we document and quantify the importance of this channel by using detailed Mexican microdata and a spatial general-equilibrium model that incorporates firm dynamics.

The HAMSTER project (2016-2022) aimed at designing, building, and validating a bi-climatic chamber. The test facility developed within the project, called the HAMSTER test facility, is a recent versatile bi-climatic chamber that is made to study the dynamic heat, air and moisture performance of building components of realistic size. The hot chamber is furthermore thoughtfully designed to conduct accurate stationary thermal transmittance tests according to the standards. Realistic climatic conditions, like rain, sun, and pressure differences, can be reproduced in the cold chamber so that many d

Abstract:

This discussion paper summarizes the proceedings at the Second China-Latin America and the Caribbean Policy and Knowledge Summit, focusing on leadership and capacity building for public sector executives. The event, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Inter-American Development Bank, was held in Beijing and Shanghai, China in 2015. The paper discusses practices related to the management and training of public executives in China, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Peru, and provides a general context for these practices in OECD and Latin American and Caribbean count

Abstract:

This tutorial is about building up a COMSOL model for a robot ant. In this model, we have a robot with a size of a few centimeters and which is based on piezoelectric ceramics. This robot has already been built by the University of Michigan and some COMSOL models only for the legs’ operation are already existing and are published. From what we know, the full ant robot had not been computationally simulated before. Here, we provide a tutorial on how to successfully achieve this task. Furthermore, we uploaded a video on YouTube to visualize the results: https://youtu.be/ePyD8TAQt3I

Abstract:

Residential buildings are one of the crucial energy consumers. The vast majority of the existing buildings require urgent retrofitting due to the very poor thermal insulation properties of their external building envelope. There are many building retrofitting technologies available on the market. However, thermal insulation technologies, such as rendered and double facades, require large amount of on-site human working hours. One of the most promising technologies is a modular retrofitting.
