The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulated Concrete Blocks in Oman

The high consumption of energy became a danger constitutes to the environment and increases the monthly consumer costs. This leads to the think for some alternative materials that can helps us to avoid these problems. The objective of this study is to measure the effectiveness of thermal insulated concrete blocks in Oman. Study of this kind of blocks have many values and in order to evaluate the results compared with nonthermal insulated concrete blocks. This report is summarized, study the energy consumption, environment-impact and measure the consumer satisfaction for the usage of thermal insulated concrete blocks. The results indicated that the thermal insulated blocks) has a good strength and it shows high efficiency of insulation more than 50 percent compared to (normal blocks). In addition, it helps to save energy consumption and protect the environment. In conclusion it was proved that the (thermal insulated blocks) is the most appropriate choice for the building in Oman.

Iris Publishers - Open Access Journal of Civil Engineering Structure, Building Envelop and Form integration in Architecture Contemporary Architecture is witnessing a significant transformation, because of developments in technology that is releasing architects from the use of static forms and historical construction methods, to the use of more dynamic forms that integrate elements of structure, building envelop and form in designs. This paper briefly examines developments in architecture over time, in order to situate and discuss the current emerging trend of integration. The article starts from exploring the history of architecture and the form of buildings in the different eras. It then moves on to discuss the contemporary trend in building form, structure and envelope integration, exploring some of the factors that are drive the trend and discussion of implication for the form of future architecture.

SFRC Modelling and Non-Linear Analysis of Beam- Column Joint Under Cyclic Loading

  Abstract In this paper reinforced concrete beam column joint is modelled and analyzed using ABAQUS software to compare the simulated results with the experimental study. The joint is the most critical and most important part of the multi-story frames or multi-story buildings when they are subjected to earthquake loading. In this research the joint is analyzed for two different types of non-linear analysis that is non-linear static analysis and a part of non-linear dynamic analysis for the visual comparison with the experimental study.
