Perspective Chapter: Prefabricated Building Envelope Modular Assemblies for Secure Facilities (2024)

Mid-rise and high-rise urban jails are subject to complex performance requirements at the building envelope. This case study examines the design of dual envelope systems—a unitized curtain wall system and a modular steel cell secure perimeter system—for thermal performance and security, emphasizing compliance with the New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC) and ASTM F33 standards. These systems are designed through a design-build, design-assist collaboration with separate subcontractors

Using terrestrial laser scanning technology to assess the quality of prefabricated concrete modules (2022)

The main objective of this study was external facade deviation analyses applied to prefabricated off-site concrete modules. This article is decomposed into three main parts: the first part is dedicated to the introduction and to the research background. The second part explains and details the construction project, the off-site factory, the modules as well as the use of a terrestrial laser scanner. A Framework and a data acquisition layout are also exposed. The third part elaborates, in addition

Study on the Stress Performance of an Incompletely Prefabricated Profile Steel Reactive Powder Concrete Column in High-Rise Modular Buildings (2023)

In this study, 11 PSRPC column specimens were designed and fabricated in order to investigate the stressing performance of incompletely prefabricated steel reactive powder concrete (PSRPC) columns and were subjected to static loading tests. The effects of the strength grade and steel content of reactive powder concrete (RPC) on the axial compression performance of PSRPC columns and the effects of the steel content and eccentricity on the eccentricity performance of PSRPC columns were investigate

Fire resistance of structural concrete (2026)

Peer-reviewed industrial hemp research by N, Anand; Kanagaraj, Balamurali; Andrushia published in Fire Behaviour and the Residual Mechanical Properties of Structural Concrete (2026).

High Temperature Performance of a prefabricated concrete sandwich panel (2021)

The innovative sandwich wall panel studied in this paper can be used as the load-bearing member of the structure. In addition to the traditional sandwich panel structure, the new panel system also has the characteristics of spiral stirrups along the section of the core column, 650mm column spacing, foam concrete for insulation layer and self-compacting concrete for outer layer. In addition, in order to improve the overall strength and stiffness of the panel, a unique wire system consisting of tw

УНІВЕРСАЛЬНА ЗБІРНА ДЕРЕВОНІЗДРЮВАТОБЕТОННА ПАНЕЛЬ ДЛЯ ШВИДКО МОНТОВАНИХ ЗБІРНИХ БУДІВЕЛЬ (2024)

Швидко збірним будівлям завжди надається перевага в умовах різноманітних природних катаклізмів чи воєн, що є актуальним для України сьогодення. Такі будівлі можуть мати різні технологічно-конструктивні вирішення, але основне завдання такого будівництва – отримати зручні, надійні будівлі за короткий термін з незначними матеріальними затратами та малою трудомісткістю.

Advancing biodiesel production from microalgae Spirulina sp. by a simultaneous extraction–transesterification process using palm oil as a co-solvent of methanol (2020)

AbstractMicroalgae have been considered as a potential candidate for biodiesel feedstock. Single-stage simultaneous extraction–transesterification process is proposed for simpler and more effective biodiesel conversion. In this study, the experiment of biodiesel production from microalgae Spirulina sp. was performed in a batch-stirred reactor using palm oil as a co-solvent of methanol and catalyzed by potassium hydroxide at a percentage of 1 wt% (w/w of palm oil). The effects of methanol–palm oi
