The choice of building façade materiality and composition plays a significant role in indoor and outdoor thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. However, the carbon footprint of most construction materials contrib...

In this paper, the assessment of the radon exhalation rate of the Modica stone building material, untreated and accelerated aged through salt crystallization test, is reported as a case study. Noteworthy, this constructi...

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer from nature, represents a promising feedstock for sustainable functional materials. Yet its intrinsic structural heterogeneity and broad molecular weight distribution limit its ...

The “Findings in…” section in this issue of VLC arquitectura is devoted to Architectural Construction, a field whose recent evolution highlights its capacity to open up new lines of reflection and research on the b...

Phase change materials (PCM) are receiving ever-growing attention as a promising construction material for improving building energy performance through thermal storage and peak load shifting. The analysis of PCM perform...

Abstract This paper reports detailed propagation analyses of mm-wave indoor networks based numerical simulations of the wireless coverage and measurements of the propagation coefficient at 28 and 38 GHz. Additionally, ma...

Studies carried out for sustainable and low carbon emission rural area design and planning are important in minimising the effects of climate change and protecting the ecology. Especially in rural areas, the choice of lo...

In this work, carbon nanotube (CNT) based interconnections and switches will be reviewed, discussing the possibility to use nanotubes as potential building blocks for signal routing in microwave networks. In particular, ...

Abstract This study explores the valorization of ceramic waste (CW) and waste tire particles in the development of eco-friendly cementitious tiles for outdoor roof shielding applications. CW, sourced from industrial bypr...

A crucial objective for mitigating the global environmental footprint of the construction sector is the imperative to develop sustainable and ecological concrete alternatives. This investigation presents a novel strategy...

Wood is a natural material widely used in construction. Unlike artificial building materials, wood is characterized by natural defects (flaws) that can negatively affect its performance under load. This study proposes a ...

The deformation properties of CFRD (concrete face rockfill dam) are studied through centrifuge tests by building concrete cover plate on the alluvium foundation. Three centrifugal model tests are conducted for the purpos...

This article considers the influence of local one-sided damage on the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete beam. The research is aimed at analyzing changes in load-bearing capacity, deformations, and potential fa...

The article describes the methodology for experimental studies of an arch made of high-strength rapid-hardening concrete, presents the results of the studies in tabular form, and describes the mechanical characteristics ...

"In the ICELABPatagonia project, different laboratories for Karukinka National Park in Chile were designed. The main objective of these laboratories was to provide shelter against the area’s tough weather conditions, s...
