Abstract: This work presents a field investigation and numerical simulation for studying the heat transmission through the walls of two specially designed test rooms exposed to the hot and arid summer climate of the coastal region ...

Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been increasingly used in civil engineering over recent decades, with expected service lives exceeding 100 years, owing to their advantages such as a high strength-to-weight ...

Abstract: A comparison of the thermal performance and energy efficiency of walls constructed using autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block with thermal insulating plaster and reflective coating and the standard hollow-core concrete ...
