Hygrothermal Behaviour of Three Internal Retrofit Prototype Solutions

Development of Prototype Iranian male pelvic phantom for internal dosimetry

Introduction: Existing phantoms have been constructed based on Caucasian, non-Caucasian and race-specific datasets. According to previous studies made efforts to present Korean- specific phantoms and Chinese female phantom based on CVH dataset due to compare the resulting internal dosimetry with the Caucasian based data showed possible racial difference in human anatomy between ...

Retrofit strategies for a high-rise wall system and analysis of their hygrothermal effects

Building Retrofit using Vacuum Insulation Panels Hygrothermal Performance and Durability Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Many old buildings have unsatisfactory thermal performance compared to the standards of today. One way to increase the thermal performance is to add thermal insulation to the building envelope. However, many old buildings are listed and considered to be valuable for historical and esthetic reasons. This often limits the position and thickness of the additional insulation layer. Vacuum insulatio...

Prototype Testing of a New Passive Energy Dissipation Device for Seismic Retrofit of Bridges

The increasingly demanding performance requirements trigger the development of new devices to eliminate the limitations concerning the post-earthquake performance of available seismic protection systems. The prerequisite for economical earthquakeresistant bridges is the structures’ capacity to absorb and dissipate a large amount of seismic energy. A widely considered strategy for enhancing this...
