Throughout history, earth as one of the most basic building materials of architecture, has stood out as a culturally and environmentally sustainable resource thanks to its local availability, compatibility with natural cycles and renewability. Increasing envir…

Many well-known material structures, such as metals, ceramics or polymers, cannot meet all the technological demands. For this reason, there is ongoing research into new materials with advanced features. A composite material is consisting of at least two phase…

Moda endüstrisinde hızlanan üretim ve tüketim döngüsü ciddi çevresel sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Bu nedenle sürdürülebilir tasarım ve üretim uygulamaları büyük önem kazanmıştır. Temelleri 1960’lı yıllarda atılan sürdürülebilirlik hareketi, moda endüstrisinde çev…

This study emphasizes the significance of integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a process throughout its entire life cycle, as a vital tool for cultural heritage conservation in Türkiye. The …

Fins are basic structures which can be easily added to many engineering designs to improve heat transfer from hot surfaces. The addition of a fin to a particular heated surface can significantly increase the cooling at no extra cost. In some cases, standard fi…

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 …

This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

Developing technology in the manufacturing industry and the requirement of high precision parts reveals micro machining. It is possible to produce workpieces both at high speed and with high precision by means of micro-mechanical machining.The finite element m…

This paper examines the development of sustainable architectural design strategies in office buildings from 1970 to the present. Drawing on literature, policies, and historical examples, it traces the transformation of sustainability from a loosely defined env…

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems consume about 15% of global electricity, and 46% of energy used in household and commercial buildings belongs to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Vapor-compression technologies dominate the HV…

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…

Environment and climate change caused by human life negatively affects our world on a global scale. The need for sustainable technological solutions to minimize these disadvantages is becoming increasingly imperative. Nanotechnology is entering our lives at th…

The rapid growth of city populations and the increasing complexity of managing city infrastructure have led to the emergence of smart cities, which rely on advanced technologies to optimise urban services. However, one of the key challenges facing smart cities…

Chronically, the Nigerian pharmaceutical arena has witnessed a series of scandals, perhaps unprecedented level of unethical behaviors, cruelty or of a kind. These events have seriously shaken people’s belief. In general, such activities have left a black-hole …

Artificial lighting is an important part of global electricity consumption. At office buildings, the energy consumed by artificial lighting can reach up to 40% of total energy consumption. This work is being done to find solutions to such problems with energy …

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…

Rubble of destroyed buildings in Turkey is a growing environmental problem, in Ankara only, there are 12 landfills to collect and store them. Adobe is a world common building material; many studies inferred its environmental qualities. This study examines th…

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…

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…

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…
