ShareThe current research relates to the application of circular systems in the built environment. As of most projects related to the built environment (BE), and as it much fits in the framework of the circular economy (CE), this study will be applied for social well-being (WB) (goal no. 3 and No. 11 of the SDGs) for a particular age group. Sustainability is a delicate issue, for which sustainable construction should be the front-of-mind of any relevant company. Regarding older adults (OAs) as focusing populations, action plans must be carefully thought out; since sustainability is even more crucial for building a healthy environment for OAs. For this purpose, circular systems are promising. However, for an action plan to take effect, studying the various influential aspects, such as the support systems, locations, access to n.....

SharePopulation growth rate, urban migration and natural disasters are making, the chronic shortage of housing in the developing countries, more complicated and strenuous. The case of Bangladesh is no different. However, though the growth rate of Chittagong is high yet due to various infrastructural and socio-environmental issues, the people of Chittagong are facing housing shortage. In most of the cases the development of informal sector housing is makeshift, unplanned and the consideration to the geographical, environmental, and ecological matrix is minimal. People who are in the informal sector and economically disadvantaged, cannot get proper shelter due to the shortage of housing or housing ingredients for the poor. This paper attempts to find a way to mitigate the shortage of informal sector economically disadvantaged group housing..... ReadMore

ShareHeterogeneity of aggregate in concrete has been monitored in different developed mixed design concrete by experts applying different curing techniques. Their findings have always reflected the variation of aggregate size as one of the major influential property that determined various rates of tensile, based on its compressive strength. The behaviour are basically on the effect from aggregate shapes that reflect on the generated results on the model concrete, but other parameters that express impact on the variation rate of tensile strength are not always determined, because of the limitation of experimental techniques including the concept of ignoring these other parameters on concrete properties , these are other major significant areas that will determine various rate of tensile partially replaced cement with Metakaolin substance.....

ShareIn the first part of this paper, the degradation of the mechanical properties of the mass concrete of the Dez concrete arch dam under the long-term effects of its environment as well as its loading history has been investigated using an innovate inverse analysis method. For performing that inverse analysis, an objective function was defined and then it was attempted to minimize that. That function was defined as the sum of the squared differences between the displacements obtained from a developed enhanced FE model in the ABAQUS standard software by the authors in the current study for each assumed set of the degraded mechanical properties of the dam as input variables and those obtained from the inverse pendulum’s records of the dam. For the sake of the generality of the problem, in performing such FE analyses, it was assumed tha..... ReadMore

ShareBuildings and their construction together account for 36 percent of global energy use and 39 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions annually. Globally, the embodied carbon of buildings account for about 11 percent of emissions. The design and construction of civil engineering infrastructures are impacting global warming and climate change and the world is facing a big challenge in the form of environmental degradation occasioned mainly by global warming due to ozone layer depletion, fauna loss, deforestation and pollution. A new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report cautioned that unless global greenhouse gas emissions fall by 7.6 per cent yearly between 2020 and 2030, the world will miss the opportunity to get on track towards the 1.5o temperature goal of the Paris Agreement on the eve of a year that nations are due to stren.....

ShareThe article presents static shear tests of adhesives connecting various types of lightweight floor system (LFS) composites with a heating coil. This method is approved for use, and its advantage is the reproduction of the real working conditions of a light floor. Preliminary tests were carried out to determine the point shear strength of selected adhesives and the target ones, using a strain gauge method of deformation measurements. Three types of adhesives used in the lightweight heated floor system were researched-cement deformable, type C2S1, C2S2, and polyurethane BondT8. In addition to determining the maximum shear stress, deformation and approximate displacement of adhesives in this type of composites, the Kirchoff ’s and Young’s modulus were also calculated. The method used did not allow determining Poiss..... ReadMore

ShareLife on Earth depends on the circuit of water, carbon and everything that rises into the sky. In the atmosphere, their mixing, concentration, various chemical-physical processes, transformations take place, and with precipitation everything returns to the earth. On the soil, substances become the building material of bodies and plants, which, as they grow and multiply, produce waste, eat up, and waste again rise into the sky. Humanity, in its development and the pursuit of the comfort of its existence, destroys the circuits. Vapors without changing the properties of vapors are clearly visible on the water - it came with precipitation and immediately went back to the atmosphere. In nature, such fumes come from the surfaces of water bodies, from stones, and other hard surfaces. But with the development of the industry, there ar..... ReadMore

ShareThe term commuter is defined as a person who travels some distance to work on a regular basis Asensio et al. [1]. A large number of commuters are attracted every day from the suburban area because of the growing economy and urban employment opportunity of Rajshahi Islam et. al, 2016. Most of these commuters have to depend on different transport modes for their daily commuting. As commuters have to travel a long distance during the peak periods, choice of transport mode is very crucial for them. Suburban traveling is multimodal in characteristics which involve combination of multiple modes [2]. Different studies showed that mode choice plays the vital role along with the main mode for a long-distance commuting [3]. It is necessary to study different aspects of their mode choice behavior to meet the expected necessities of the co..... ReadMore
