Abstract:

Terrace farming is one of the most important phenomena of Armenian culture. The function of agricultural terraces is to prevent soil erosion. Thanks to them, are appropriated the steep slopes of the mountains. Terracing is important to manage water flow, slowing runoff. This article, on the example of Armenian culture, focuses on issues оф various phenomena of terracing, their creation and typology. In Armenian highlands, agricultural terraces are distributed in various regions and at different heights. Terraced farming is typical for many regions of Armenia, for example, Syunik, Vayots Dzor,

Abstract Terraces, as agricultural heritage, reflect a value system related to both nature and humanity. The Zhuang ethnic villages in China hold significant representativeness and research value concerning minority villages and agricultural heritage. Currently, research on the spatial forms of these terraced minority villages is extremely limited, and they encounter challenges related to inheritance and sustainable development. This study selects Longji Village of the Zhuang ethnic group as the research site and employs field investigation, survey and mapping, literature review, and comparati

Abstract:

<em>The use of natural light and ventilation, which to some extent represents an important factor of energy saving, is one of the key components of the building design to ensure that buildings consume the least amount of energy possible and to make sure that they blend in with their environment. Currently, integrated design emphasises natural ventilation as the primary building design element. In India, the idea of terraced housing is resurfacing in metropolitan areas. It makes sense that terraced homes would become more popular in the future given the restricted supply of land. The majority o

Abstract:

Stone wall terraces are a largely investigated topic in research for both their landscape and cultural/historical value. Terraces are anthropogenic landforms that interact with natural processes and need permanent maintenance to preserve their functionality. In the Mediterranean region, ground effects related to intense rain events often involve terraced slopes that, in some situations, are directly sourced areas of debris/mud flow. Starting from the 1950s, the changing socio-economic conditions caused the abandonment of large portions of rural areas. Nowadays, at the catchment scale, it is fr

Abstract:

With the introduction of mechanization in agriculture, the area of terraced slopes has increased. However, in most cases, the planning of terracing in practice remains experience-based, which is no longer effective from an agricultural, geological, and hydrological point of view. The usual method of building terraces, especially terraces with earth risers, is therefore outdated, and a new method must be found for planning and building terraced areas. In addition to geographical information system (GIS) tools, parametric design tools for planning terraced landscapes are now available. Based on

Abstract Building construction and operation both have a high environmental impact. In Flanders (Belgium), public authorities have defined clear targets for improved building energy performance, but a strategy to reduce construction (embodied) impact is still lacking. Environmental benchmarks based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) have been identified as a means to limit embodied impacts. Such benchmarks are often derived with a bottom-up approach consisting of a statistical analysis of the building stock, which is usually modelled based on a limited set of representative buildings or archetypes

This would allow the highest heat conductance of the building envelope. However, it also helps buildings to gain useful solar heat during winter. Therefore, it has been generally accepted that passive buildings would have small windows towards the poles and large windows facing the equator (Persson, Roos, and Wall 2006).

Abstract:

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) is progressing. The use of microcontrollers and sensors in buildings is described as a level 3B maturity in the use of BIM. Design companies, contractors and building operators can use IoT solutions to monitor, analyze or manage processes. As a rule, solutions based on original Arduino boards are quite an expensive investment. The aim of this research was to find a low-cost IoT solution for monitoring, analysis and management, and integrate it with a BIM model. In the present study, an inexpensive NodeMCU m

Abstract:

AbstractAnalytical earthwork and geophysical surveys have advanced our understanding of the lozenge-shaped Roman fort at Whitley Castle (Northumberland), which is notable for the exceptional depth of its outer defences. Built at a higher altitude than any other fort in England, it was almost certainly positioned to control the production and shipment of lead and silver from the Alston ore-fields. Its curious shape, tailored to that of the natural knoll, necessitated some adjustment of a standard fort plan, but accommodated six buildings to the rear of the central range and four to the front.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In the green building industry there is an implicit understanding that the use of a green building rating tool will attract additional capital cost. This phenomenon has been well studied in commercial buildings, with mixed results, but has received little focus in the residential, single family context. In New Zealand the local green building council advises the market that they have reduced the time and cost to implement their green building rating tool, Homestar, through modifications to version 4 of the rating tool, which include the use of a new 6-Homestar checklist.

Abstract:

The seismic performance of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is considerably affected by typology and level of effectiveness of both construction details and structural components, especially if not originally designed for resisting earthquakes. Within this framework, the use of advanced numerical approaches that are capable of duly accounting for such aspects might improve significantly the assessment of the global response of URM structures. In this article, the applied element method is thus employed for simulating the shake table response of a number of full-scale building spec

Abstract The passive house concept specifically improves insulation of exterior building components, utilisation of passive solar gains, airtightness and heat recovery from ventilation air. Reducing also heat losses from thermal bridges, the energy balance is improved significantly resulting in net heating demands lower than 15 kWh/(m2a) which is less than one-tenth of the typical heating energy in the average of existing buildings. The design concept can be used for every new building, and many thousand examples have so far been built for different use, in several climates and based on differ

Abstract:

Estimating residential building energy use across large spatial extents is vital for identifying and testing effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve urban sustainability. This task is underpinned by the availability of accurate models of building stock from which appropriate parameters may be extracted. For example, the form of a building, such as whether it is detached, semi-detached, terraced etc. and its shape may be used as part of a typology for defining its likely energy use. When these details are combined with information on building construction materials or glazin

Abstract:

In the last years, the induced seismicity in the northern part of the Netherlands has considerably increased. The existing building stock was not designed for seismic loading, and it is characterised by very slender walls, limited cooperation between walls and floors, and use of cavity walls. As a consequence, the validation of analytical and numerical models for the assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings and the characterisation of the masonry at both material and structural level have become of great importance.

Agricultural terraces are important artificial landforms on the Loess Plateau of China and have many ecosystem services (e.g., agricultural production, soil and water conservation). Due to the loss of rural labor, a large number of agricultural terraces have been abandoned and then the degradation of terraces, caused by rainstorm and lack of management, threatens the sustainability of ecological services on terraces. Our previous study has found its geomorphological evidence (sinkhole and collapse). However, no quantitative indicators of terrace degradation are identified from the perspective
