Abstract:
The waste rubber from tire have been employed as aggregate in concrete due to their distinct characteristics, such as: less density, drainage properties improve thermal and acoustic isolation in construction, beyond final cost production reduced. This way, the substitution of part of natural aggregate by tire rubber, contributes to the natural aggregates preservation and offer an alternative for recycling this kind of waste. In view of these advantages, this study proposes the utilization of tire waste in projects of Social Interest Housing. The project has as mailing objective the construction of unfamiliar housing (vertical and horizontal) for low income families, searching a conciliation of sustainable development: social, environmental and economic. Social development means the worry with that low income family have a basic infrastructure; environmental development is to minimize the natural resources impact available; and economics is to offer new jobs and costs opportunities. The purpose of study the incorporation of this kind of waste in concretes used for interlocked pavers for floor to construct Social Interest Housing, aims to solve the problems of adequacy of this housings, offering a semi-rigid pavement that have a large use in landscaping for floor manufacturing, low maintenance and do not require specialist worker to their installation.

Abstract:
This article advances understandings of Melbourne’s dramatic vertical expansion over the last decade by attending to the political economies of its high-rise housing development. Melbourne’s major high-rise development in the wake of the financial crisis represents a radical yet poorly understood departure from the city’s traditional patterns of suburban development. This article applies an existing conceptual framework for residential vertical urbanisation informed by heterodox political economy and critical geography. Drawing on secondary sources supplemented by supply-side stakeholder perspectives, the analysis shows how Melbourne’s high-rise development assisted in syphoning significant investor capital into the city. This not only expanded the local housing stock but, in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis and later, amid ongoing economic uncertainty, Melbourne’s high-rise construction served both economic and geopolitical/symbolic functions in the city’s ongoing inter-urban competition for hyper mobile flows of capital and highly-skilled workers. Large apartment projects fuelled the Victorian economy and filled state coffers through property-related revenue. Meanwhile, the city’s dramatic vertical expansion helped project a powerful image of Melbourne around the world. Its crane-filled skyline heralded a thriving economy, and its new thicket of towers rendered a striking impression of urbane high-density living. Together these representations helped promote Melbourne as a vibrant, desirable place to live, work, and invest. Looking beyond the planning failures and planning politics identified in planners’ critiques of Melbourne’s vertical expansion, this article showcases the state’s considerable stakes in this development, and its role in smoothing the way for this expansion to occur.

Abstract:
The subject of the paper є is to study the mechanisms for investing in residential renovation in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, sustainable development is considered both from the point of view of safety and environmental friendliness of residential buildings, and from the social point of view of providing housing to citizens from strategic perspective. It is shown that the current sustainable development goals, the definition of indicators of their achievement do not cover the problem of housing deterioration, which is one of the most acute for national and social security, as well as the financial stability of the state. Therefore, the achievement of SDG-11 in Ukraine is in a high risk zone given the catastrophic state of housing, the scale of the problem, and the high cost of its renovation for insolvent households; this does not solve the problem only at the expense of homeowners as follows from the essence and functions of property owners. The situation in Ukraine differs from European countries in that the state is impossible to further subsidize the owners on a large scale. This requires a combination of public investment in renovation of residential real estate with property reform, transforming part of the housing stock into social housing. As the implementation of housing projects concerns the local level, the general shortcomings of strategic management are shown, where there is no vision of communities to solve the problem. Methodology. Based on the methodological developments of the authors on the insolvency of homeowners in Ukraine (A. Shcherbyna), criticism of unjustified approaches to co-financing by residents and local authorities of renovation projects in Kyiv (O. Popeko), and the need to justify and evaluate investment projects to achieve sustainable development goals (S. Kovalivska), the article forms a comprehensive approach to solving the problem in terms of all three aspects. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to deepen the formulation and analysis of methods to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 11 "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable" with the help of provisions on sustainable housing for citizens based on a projectoriented approach and mechanisms for financing projects using public-private partnerships of homeowners with local authorities, as well as taking into account sustainable development goals. Practical implications. The main directions of further progress in reforming property relations in the housing sector and creating tools for intensifying partnership mechanisms at the vertical and horizontal levels in the public administration system are identified. Results. The proposed methodology provides for the selection of projects for budget support and development of recommendations for their implementation, taking into account SDG in several stages: preselection based on cost-benefit analysis; assessment of the impact of the project on SDG (determination of the SDG identity of the project based on a quantitative assessment of the impact of its objectives on SDG and vice versa); determination of the volume and type of budget support (rating of projects based on a comprehensive analysis of their commercial, budgetary and social efficiency, adjusted for the level of manufacturability, export orientation, and SDG identity); development of recommendations for project implementation, which take into account the approaches to assessing the impact of the project on SDG and, conversely, the achievement of SDGs or the risks of their failure to achieve project objectives (4). Value. To link SDG with budget planning, it is proposed to introduce an additional classification of budget expenditures on SDG, which will help to reconcile strategic and budget planning with investment in order to achieve SDG, including in the process of ensuring state participation in programs and projects for renovation and construction of housing based on the concept of sustainable development.

Abstract:
In retrofit-purposed projects such as building renovations, the early decision-support mechanism to determine an optimistic circulation plan and spatial allocation is strongly required for architects, owners and residents. In this paper, we introduce such a case study based on the building information modelling-enabled approach that has been explored using an actual project at Yeongwol, South Korea for resolving diverse residential types, including elderly housing units. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate an actual analysis of building remodelling design alternatives regarding indoor circulation and spatial allocation problems, especially considering elderly housing units. Another significant feature of this paper is a quantitative and explicit approach to the indoor walkability index using building information modelling. After acquiring indoor circulation data, such as metric distances between rooms, number of turns, spatial depth, vertical access, or any other BIM-enabled data, an appropriate and teleological weighting function was applied to determine the indoor walkability index. The usefulness of the approach was demonstrated in this paper, based on a Yeongwol project. building information modelling-enabled data provided prompt and reliable quantitative analysis results as soon as various design alternatives appear within the given timeframe to resolve circulation and spatial allocation problems for remodelling homes for the elderly.

Abstract:
Low-density urban models, widely diffused in Spain until 2008, have been strongly criticized because they produce a great strain on the land, high infrastructure costs, increasing maintenance expenses, energy waste and pollution from excessive transport, time wasted commuting and more bedroom communities. To counterbalance this effect, opponents are claiming for a review of the capacity that the conventional city, with its higher population density and mixed uses, may still possess. One possibility that has been explored is the vertical extension of buildings, which capitalizes on the remaining buildable space characteristic of many older buildings, and at the same time, refurbishes the housing block and improves standards of energy efficiency, safety and accessibility. The challenge is not only technical - it is clear what needs to be done and how to do it - but it is also social and fiscal; in other words, how do we get organized and how do we finance such a project? The preferred construction system for vertical extensions is industrialized and uses two main materials: steel and wood. The system involves the use of two-dimensional panels and 3D pods that, once completed in the factory, are transported to the worksite, lifted by a crane and installed on the roof of the building. From refurbishing the existing building to adding the new vertical extension, the entire operation takes four months. The experience of this vision and its application in the area of the Example in Barcelona, coming soon to other central neighborhoods in Spanish cities, allows us to present our first results: the detection of over 2,000 buildings with remaining buildable space, the need to vertically extend 50 buildings and our completed projects, in some cases already inhabited, of which half a dozen are currently undergoing environmental evaluation using our own tool.

Abstract:
This article presents an analysis of a collective housing project designed by the architects Emilia Bisquert Santiago, Carmen González Lobo, Jose Miguel de Prada Poole and Ricardo Aroca in the Arturo Soria neighbourhood in Madrid in 1975. This project is noteworthy for its architects’ preference for designing flexible and adaptable spaces, both in the interior distribution of the homes spaces and in the common spaces of the building itself. Their main aim was to eliminate the rigid spatial segregation that was a dominant feature of Spanish housing estates promoted by the OSH (House Building Union) during the Franco Regime (1939–1975). To understand this idea, this research proposes a comparison between a Housing Estate promoted by the OSH in 1956 and the Arturo Soria building designed in 1975. The article explains and analyses the different architectural strategies that the architects proposed to achieve that flexibility and adaptability: a permanent structural ‘infrastructure,’ an intermediate architectural system adaptable over time, and finally, a range of possible configurations for the individual dwelling. Another important issue is the relationship between the construction system and alternative development of both horizontal and vertical living space. Explaining this relationship could help shape the habitability of future homes, the development of a sense of community, the possibility of designing for tenancies of different lengths and needs and the management of constant changes to a collective society.

Y si bien soportó dos sismos (1957 y 1985), con el del 19 de septiembre del2017 colapsó debido al desgaste natural propio de su antigüedad (más de 60 años) y las secuelas de los dossismos mencionados. El Edificio 1C fue el más afectado, aunque, gracias a la actuación inmediata de unasociedad involucrada y activa, autoridades responsables e instituciones comprometidas con las necesidades de las personas damnificadas, las consecuencias no fueron tan graves. Es que, por primera vez en la historia mexicana, se forjó un compromiso y una organización coordinada nuevas viviendas colaborativas verticales sostenibles, la construcción del patrimonio de las familias mexicanas que lo perdieron todo, y el acompañamiento desde lo social y emocional que representa todavía para muchos esta desgracia.Palabras Clave: Sostenibilidad, co-responsabilidad, viviendas colaborativas, intergeneracional.
 AbstractMultifamiliar Tlalpan was a housing project carried out by the Mexican government of President Miguel Aleman (1945 and 1960). Although it endured two earthquakes (1957 and 1985), with the one of September 19, 2017, it collapsed due to the natural deterioration proper to its antiquity (more than 60 years) and the consequences of the two earthquakes mentioned. Building 1C was the most affected, although, due to the immediate action of an involved and active society, responsible authorities and institutions committed to the needs of the people affected, the consequences were not so serious. This is because, for the first time in Mexican history, a commitment was forged and a coordinated organization that co-responsibly carries out the generation of new sustainable vertical collaborative housing, the construction of the heritage of Mexican families that lost everything, and the accompaniment from the social and emotional side that this misfortune still represents for many.Keywords: Sustainability, Co-responsibility, Co-housing, intergenerational.

Geant4 simulation package was used to simulate muon fluxes at different locations, the floor of UNIREA mine and two levels of CANTACUZINO mine, of Slanic Prahova site in Romania. This site is specially important since it is one of the seven sites in Europe that are under consideration of housing large detector components of Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification and Neutrino Astrophysics (LAGUNA) project. Simulations were performed for vertical muons and for muons with a zenith angleθ≤60°. Primary muon flux and energies at ground level were obtained from previous measurements. Results of the simulations are in general agreement with previous simulations made using MUSIC simulation program and with the measurements made using a mobile detector.

Abstract:
Le processus de développement urbain actuel est le produit d’une situation paradoxale. D’un côté, les ménages préfèrent l’habitat individuel, qui trouve dans les périphéries des villes les conditions favorables à son déploiement, tout en souhaitant bénéficier de services qui sont plutôt le corrélat des centralités urbaines denses. De l’autre côté, pour lutter contre les coûts environnementaux, sociaux et économiques de l’étalement urbain et tendre vers une ville plus durable, les projets de renouvellement urbain et de ville compacte imposent des densité que seul l’habitat collectif permet d’atteindre. L’équation « maîtrise de l’étalement urbain, satisfaction de la demande résidentielle et ville durable » apparaît donc insoluble, notamment par l’absence d’une offre d’habitat en mesure de conjuguer les singularités du pavillon et les besoins de densité urbaine. Deux tandems « habitat / territoire et mobilité induite » relativement étanches en découlent : la maison individuelle, dépendante de l’automobile, est principalement localisée dans les espaces périurbains, alors que l’habitat collectif, peu plébiscité par les ménages, se concentre dans les centres avec des alternatives multiples à l’automobile. Dans ce contexte, à travers le concept central de « lotissement vertical », ce travail de recherche doctorale pose l’hypothèse qu’un élargissement du prisme d’analyse des mobilités et des espaces urbains doit permettre l’émergence de solutions nouvelles, intégrant les caractéristiques de l’habitat et des territoires de manière pluridisciplinaire et multiscalaire. Pour valider cette hypothèse, la méthodologie s’articule en deux temps. Premièrement, une revue de la littérature architecturale a permis de définir le « concept de lotissement vertical » comme une réponse innovante à l’équation aujourd’hui insoluble ; l’histoire de l’architecture nous renseigne en effet abondamment sur les opportunités d’un urbanisme vertical jusqu’ici inexploité, qui autorise la création de terrains artificiels suspendus pour bâtir des maisons individuelles en étages. Deuxièmement, l’état de l’art a permis de cerner les principaux déterminants de l’attractivité résidentielle en confrontant les deux tandems classiques au concept de « lotissement vertical » et d’en proposer un modèle théorique adaptable à différents cas de figure. Le modèle a fait l’objet d’une triple évaluation. Premièrement, les informations recueillies lors d’une enquête par photo-élicitation permettent de valider a posteriori les choix architecturaux et de s’assurer de leur pertinence en termes de préférences résidentielles. Deuxièmement, une évaluation juridique montre qu’une évolution des dispositions réglementaires améliorerait le déploiement opérationnel du modèle, mais que ce dernier peut néanmoins immédiatement satisfaire la demande tout en luttant contre l’étalement urbain. Troisièmement, une évaluation géographique, confrontant le déploiement du modèle à la réalité des terrains disponibles et à la localisation des aménités et des infrastructures de transport, montre qu’il permettrait concrètement de densifier la ville et ses périphéries selon une logique proche du Transit Oriented Development. Trois résultats majeurs découlent de cette évaluation. Le concept semble en effet (i) correspondre aux choix résidentiels d’une part significative des ménages français, (ii) pouvoir être immédiatement autorisé et géré par le cadre légal et réglementaire existant, (iii) bénéficier d’un potentiel de développement conséquent à l’échelle de l’Eurométropole de Strasbourg. Par ailleurs, à l’heure où les démarches pluridisciplinaires et multiscalaires sont questionnées, ce travail de thèse, qui couple une approche architecturale à l’échelle de l’habitat et une approche géographique à l’échelle de l’agglomération, offre un exemple concret de formalisation de nouvelles formes d’habitat, fondée sur le principe original d’un découplage entre « typologies d’habitat » et « territoires »<br>The current urban development process is the result of a paradoxical situation. On the one end, families prefer individual housing, which finds the favourable conditions to its spreading in the more or less distant from towns outskirts, while wishing to benefit from services (proximity to amenities, public transport offers, etc…) which are rather the corelate of dense urban centralization. On the other hand, in order to fight against environmental, social and economic costs of urban sprawl, and also aim towards a more sustainable city, the urban renovation and compact city projects lead to some density levels that only collective housing enables to reach. So, the equation - control of the urban sprawl, satisfaction of the house request and sustainable city - seems to be unsolvable, especially due to the lack of a housing offer being able to combine the particularities of the detached house and the needs of urban density. Two relatively separate tandems “housing/territory and induced mobility” result from it : individual housing, which is dependent on cars, is mainly situated in peri-urban areas, whereas collective housing, which is not approved by most families, gather in the town centers with many alternatives to cars. In such a context, through the main concept of “vertical housing development”, this doctoral research work arises the hypothesis that the enlargement of the prism of the mobilities and urban areas analysis should enable the emergency of new solutions, which will include the housing and territories specifications in a multidisciplinary and multiscale way. In order to confirm this hypothesis, the methodology hinges on two steps. First, a review of the architectural literature allowed to define the “vertical housing concept” as an innovative answer to the equation which is insolvable nowadays : indeed, the history of architecture informs us profusely on the opportunities of a vertical urbanism unexploited until now ; this enables the creation of hanging artificial grounds to build in floors detached houses. In second place, the state of the art allowed to identify the main determinants of housing attractiveness while confronting the two classical tandems to the concept of “vertical housing development” and suggests a theoretical model adaptable to different cases. The model has been evaluated three times. Firstly, the information gathered during a photo-elicitation inquiry allow to validate the architectural choices a posteriori and make sure of their suitability in terms of residential preferences. Secondly, a legal evaluation shows that a development of the current regulatory measures is indeed partially necessary to the operational development of the model, but the latter can nevertheless quickly fulfill the demand while fighting against urban sprawl. Thirdly, a geographical evaluation which compares the deployment of the model with the reality of available grounds and the localization of amenities and transport infrastructure, shows that it would concretely allow to densify the town and its outskirts according to a logic close to the Transit Oriented Development. Three major results arise from this evaluation. Indeed, the concept seems (i) to match with the residential choices from a significant part of the French families, (ii) to be immediately authorized and managed by the current legal and regulatory framework, (iii) to benefit from a consequent potential of development at the level of the Strasbourg-Eurometropolis. Moreover, at a time when multidisciplinary and multiscale approaches are questioned, this thesis work, which links an architectural approach at the housing level and a geographical approach at the city level, gives a specific example of new types of housing formalization, based on the original principle of a decoupling between “housing types” and “territories”

The goal of this diploma thesis is to create a building technology project for construction of 4 flat houses within stage 3a. of the building project „Green town of Prague – Jarov, phase II“. The flat houses are in two pairs interconnected by basement, each is a 7 floor high reinforced concrete building with flat roof and is functionally connected to others by a terrace garden system. This document focuses on organisation and preparation of the construction. It includes building site equipment, cost calculation for setting up and servicing of the building site with graphical illustrations for selected construction phases. Additionally a detailed time schedule was created with a proposal for stream construction of the reinforced concrete scelet and lining in the pairs of interconnected buildings. A realization study of the main technological phases was also prepared. The diploma thesis covers in detail construction of reinforced steel scelet and circumferential casing including a layer of contact insulation system. A blueprint of formwork for walls and ceiling is included in the manual for construction of reinforced steel scelet. On these particular actions probationary and control plans were added. The required machinery set with detailed placement was also drafted. An itemized budget for the main building was prepared as well. Attached to this document is a detailed manual on how to use housing units including repairs and revisions plan for next 30 years. Part of this diploma thesis is also a detailed study covering the construction in relation to the surronding living and educational areas.

Abstract:
This paper outlines a demonstration project planned and implemented at the Canadian Centre for Housing Technology (CCHT) in 2006. The CCHT, located on the campus of the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada maintains two identical, detached, single-family houses that have the capacity to assess energy and building technologies in side by side comparisons with daily simulated occupancy effects. The paper describes the residential integrated total energy system being installed in one of the homes at the CCHT for this demonstration, consisting of two one-ton ground source heat pumps, an air handler with supplemental/back-up hydronic heating capability, a natural gas fired storage type water tank, an indirect domestic hot water storage tank and a multistage thermostat capable of controlling the system. There is also a description of the bore-field, consisting of three vertical wells arranged to suit a typical suburban landscape. Two of the wells serve the heat pumps; the third well is arranged between the other two to sink the waste heat from a cogeneration unit. The 6 kWe cogeneration unit to be installed in May 2007 is also described. The heat pump system was deliberately sized to satisfy the cooling load in Canada’s heat dominated climate, leaving room in the operation of the system to accept waste heat from the cogeneration unit, either directly or indirectly through recycling the heat through the ground to the heat pumps. This paper presents and discusses preliminary testing results during the fall of 2006 and modeling work of the ground heat exchanger component of the system and therefore sets the stage for performance modeling work that is currently underway at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).

Abstract:
Resumen: El "hameau" vertical de Le Corbusier es un prototipo de alojamiento colectivo, desarrollado como alternativa plástica a la "Unité d'habitation de grandeur conforme", quizás su obra más sintética. La torre residencial se concreta a partir de las teorías urbanas de la regla de las 7V, a través de la impronta de una de las formas elementales: el volumen cilíndrico, manteniendo prácticamente inalteradas capacidad, forma y dimensiones en cualquiera de los entornos urbanos donde se inserta, los proyectos no construidos de su última etapa para Europa. Lejos de ser un modelo genuino es deudor de otras construcciones previas, los albergues para las colonias infantiles italianas, promovidas por la fábrica FIAT en los años 30, y algunos experimentos residenciales del arquitecto francés Auguste Bossu, erigidos también por esos años en la ciudad de Saint-Étienne. El artículo traza las relaciones entre estas construcciones y las aldeas cilíndricas para solteros, analizando las particularidades de su estructura formal y la dinámica de su organización interna, para comprobar cómo son adoptadas por Le Corbusier en la constitución de la identidad de un nuevo tipo de vivienda colectiva que permanece todavía a la sombra de sus proyectos más reconocidos. Abstract: The vertical "hameau" of Le Corbusier is a prototype of collective housing, developed as a plastic alternative to “Unité d’habitation de grandeur conforme", perhaps his most synthetic work. The residential tower is generated from urban doctrine of 7V theory through the shape of one of the elementary forms: the cylindrical volume. The towers keep capacity, shape and dimensions unchanged in any urban environments where they are inserted: the unbuilt urban projects in his last stage in Europe. Far from being a genuine type, is based in other previous constructions; the children's summer camps sponsored by the Fiat factory in the 30s, and some residential experiments by French architect Auguste Bossu erected by those years in the city of Saint-Etienne. The article describes the relationship between these structures and the cylindrical villages for singles and analyzes the peculiarities of their formal structure and the dynamic of their internal organization in order to check how those constructions were adapted by Le Corbusier for the constitution of a new collective type dwelling which still remains in the shadow of his most famous projects.

Abstract:
Abstract Yamamoto [1] examined a vertical Jeffcott rotor model with bearing clearances and showed that a small bearing “dead-band” clearance could have a dramatic influence on synchronous rotor response. Recent test results for a turbopump in a liquid-rocket-engine development program showed a twice-running-speed response (2E) on the order of 8 gs over a wide speed range, while synchronous response levels were only at an 0.5 g level. Childs [2] predicted a sharp 2E response for the Advanced Technology Development, High-Pressure Fuel Turbopump of the Space Shuttle Main Engine due to bearing clearances, when the running speed was nearly one half of a housing-mode natural frequency, i.e., when the 2E frequency was close to the housing mode natural frequency. However, his model did not predict significant 2E response over a broad running-speed range. Ellipticity of the bearing dead-band clearances was suggested as a possible cause for the observed 2E phenomenon. An extension of Yamamoto’s analysis [1] is presented including bearing ellipticity to examine that proposed explanation. The analysis results show that clearance ellipticity will produce 2E response over a considerable running-speed range during which the bearing clearance is engaged; however, the predicted 2E-response amplitude corresponding to an ellipticity of 0.1 were about 10% of the synchronous levels, and the projected 2E acceleration levels were about 40% of synchronous. The predicted 2E response includes a resonance peak (that can be sharp) at speeds slightly above 25% of the rotor critical speed. The perturbation-analysis results provide an explanation for persistent, lower 2E-response levels observed in many turbopumps, but do not explain the high levels observed with this turbopump.
