Circular Economy in the Building Sector: Experience from the URGE: Circular Building Cities Action Planning Network

 

Abstract

What is the contribution of circular economy in the effort to meet Paris agreement and slow down global warming? How circular is our planet, and which is the circularity gap in order to meet the Paris agreement? What is the role of cities in circular green transformation? This short communication communicates briefly finding of the URGE: Circular Building Cities Network that is financed by the URBACT programme, aiming to promote the role of cities in boosting circularity, specifically in the construction sector.

Iris Publishers- Open Access Journal of Civil Engineering

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.

Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials | Osama K Adwan

Osama K Adwan |  Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials Research Article A common concern amongst civil engineers is producing a good quality concrete on-site. This paper reports results of a study carried out to examine the quality of normal strength concrete production in the southern region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) made from local coarse aggregate namely Basalt. As all data were analyzed and examined statistically using Chebyshev’s theorem and the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method presented herein. It is concluded that, the normal distribution of all test results -in terms of the quality of concrete mix- was strongly agree with Chebyshev’s theorem and ACI 318-14 section 5.6.3. In addition, these results were considerably better than the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method. Overall, these concrete mixes, in this investigation, with 28 days compressive strength of 35 MPa can be used confidently in concr...
