Since the design of the first high rise building, the “Home Insurance Building” erected in Chicago in 1884-1885 only with 11 floors, new technologies encourage the designers to build taller and slender buildings penetrating through the sky. In the history, h…

In this study, the effects nano-SiO2 and nano-Al2O3 on cement mortars were experimentally studied. The percentage of nano-powders were used as 1%, 3% and 5% into the material. Different types of analysis were used to nano-powder’s impact on the cement mortars.…

In architectural schools, mediums of teaching vary from conventional theoretical classes to creative design studios. Lately, it has become popular to include demonstrative activities or design and build workshops out off the school environment. In addition to …

This paper explores the role of archival study in exploring site integrity within the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) framework, using the case of Islamic heritage sites in Java, Indonesia. In contexts where material traces have been lost or obscured, archival …

Additive manufacturing which is developed in the last half century is promising manufacturing technology. It uses layer-wise production method for obtaining finished product. In recent years, thousand researches were made but there was still gaps about impac…

Infill walls in reinforced concrete buildings produce a strong effect on the strength and deformation capacity of the buildings. In practice, a partial or full absence of infill walls at the first stories may become one of the reasons for vertical irregularity…

As widely known, construction on soft soils is generally problematic since the engineering properties of soft soils generally cannot meet the conditions required. Settlement, bearing capacity and seismic performance of the overlying structures is always questi…

Increasing number of motor vehicles together with economic development brings serious air pollution problems. Especially, Particle Matter emissions from Internal Combustion Engines are difficult to control and highly dangerous for human health. Both Europa and…

Complexity in the behavior of asphalt binders are further escalated with geopolymer (fly ash and the alkali liquid) modification thus, making it difficult to predict the performance of the binder accurately. This study employs artificial neural network model…

Low energy and water consumption of green buildings during the life cycle, waste management, minimizing the impact of projects on the ecosystem and increasing the use of environmentally friendly materials have made high performance green buildings attractive…

The act of engaging in architectural 'reading' entails the discernment of constructed realities within the context of the built environment. The newly introduced dance studio, Sandi Simon Center for Dance, has chosen to be read in architectural dimensions to r…

The formation of architectural form is influenced by functional, economic, social, cultural, climatic, and environmental factors, along with construction and stability conditions. Stability is crucial in shaping form and ensuring durability against environment…

Tüm dünyada evsel ve endüstriyel üretim işlemlerine bağlı olarak atıklar üretilmekte veya konut, köprü, yol ve benzeri yapıların tamiratı, tadilatı, yenilenmesi, yıkımı ve doğal afetler sonucu atık maddeler oluşmaktadır. Oluşan bu inşaat yıkıntı atıkları (İYA)…

High rise buildings are a type of structure that depends on many things such as rapid urbanization, population growth, high land prices, transportation problems, prestige concerns, development in construction and material technology. In these structures that…

Stone arches have been among the important structures in architecture and engineering throughout history. However, they can be damaged over time due to environmental impacts, conditions of use and natural disasters. Therefore, modern strengthening methods are …

The concrete, which is an important building material, has a wide range of uses through its economic advantages and many other advantages. Economics, easy obtainable, long life, easy curing and workability are some of the advantages. Concrete is the most used …

The waste problem has become a non-ignorable issue in apparel industry like other manufacturing industries and the concept of sustainability has come to the forefront. The term ‘sustainability’ refers to the long-term viability of business operations and their…

In this study, hybrid composite structures were manufactured by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method using three different woven fabrics (jute, E-glass and carbon) as the reinforcing material and polyester resin as the matrix material. All composite…
