Building facades play an important role in thermal loads, which act as an isolation barrier to ensure thermal comfort to the occupants. Depending on the properties of the building material adopted, each component of a building facade may lose or gain heat, contributing to the building’s thermal load. There is...Read More

This paper investigates the effects of the expansive agent on recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tubular (RACFST) stub columns under axial compression. The main experimental parameters include an expansive agent ratio and recycled aggregate replacement ratio. In the current experimental study, owing to the enhanced confinement, the RACFST columns with...Read More

Worldwide the construction industry presents a significant demand for new technologies ensuring certainty, cost-effectiveness and time efficiency. Modern construction relies on digital resources, and one of the most prominent novelties is Building Information Modelling (BIM). Construction planning effectiveness is based on clear communication and integration between project planners and other...Read More
