Despite the benefits design for adaptability (DfA) contributes to achieving sustainability and circularity in the construction industry, studies have demonstrated that construction professionals are yet to realize its fu...

This research designs a sustainable composite material using PLA, palm biomass, and ground volcanic stone (VSMGP) to improve mechanical and insulation efficiency for green construction. The raw materials were dried , sie...

The rediscovery of a labour camp on the construction site of the Stalin Monument in Prague in spring 2021 was the result of a construction project of the Municipality of Prague. Until then, the existence of this specific...

The existing field measurements show that the deformation of retaining wall and surrounding environment induced by pre-excavation dewatering can reach centimeter level, but the relevant researches are still less. The beh...

This chapter focuses on how human colonization of Sierras of Cordoba (Argentina) impact on the high-ranked prey resource density –i.e. Lama guanicoe-. Three hypothetical scenarios were modelled altering the encounter r...

As many as 87.63% of PT PLN (Persero) UIP JBTB Transmission and Substation construction projects in the 2010-2023 range experienced delays. The purpose of this study is to determine the main factors that contribute to pr...

The study examines the grammatical concept of exception as articulated in Arabic and Spanish through various syntactic constructions. This study is driven by the growing need to address structural asymmetries in bilingua...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

A corporate culture is one of the most crucial components of each organisation, which promotes the creation of an efficient system for the production of goods and services and therefore is a benefit for the company. Orga...
