Parametric Investigation of Optimum Thermal Insulation Thickness for External Walls
Numerous studies have estimated the optimum thickness of thermal insulation materials used in building walls for different climate conditions. The economic parameters (inflation rate, discount rate, lifetime and energy costs), the heating/cooling loads of the building, the wall structure and the properties of the insulation material all affect the optimum insulation thickness. This study focuse...
متن کاملEffective stiffness of unreinforced brick masonry walls
Code design of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings is based on elastic analysis, which requires as input parameter the effective stiffness of URM walls. Current approaches estimate the effective stiffness as fixed ratio of the gross sectional stiffness but comparisons with experimental results have shown that this does not yield satisfactory predictions. In this paper, a recently developed ana...
متن کاملBlack hole entropy without brick walls.
We present evidence which con rms a suggestion by Susskind and Uglum regarding black hole entropy. Using a Pauli-Villars regulator, we nd that 't Hooft's approach to evaluating black hole entropy through a statistical-mechanical counting of states for a scalar eld propagating outside the event horizon yields precisely the one-loop renormalization of the standard Bekenstein-Hawking formula, S = ...
متن کاملBlack hole entropy without brick walls
The properties of the thermal radiation are discussed by using the new equation of state density motivated by the generalized uncertainty relation in the quantum gravity. There is no burst at the last stage of the emission of a Schwarzshild black hole. When the new equation of state density is utilized to investigate the entropy of a scalar field outside the horizon of a static black hole, the ...
متن کاملPredicting the Sound Insulation of Walls
Between 1990 and 1998, the author published five conference papers which described the gradual development of a simple theoretical model for predicting the sound insulation of building partitions. The first aim was to extend Sharp’s model for cavity walls to cavities without sound absorption. The second aim was to remove the reported over prediction of Sharp’s model for cavity walls. The third ...
