The current study examines the use of oil palm fibre ash (OPFA) and rice husk (RHA) mixture in treatment A-6 Makurdi clay for burnt brick production. results show that compressive strength 9.4 MN/m2 untreated increased to 10.86 2%OPFA+2%RHA treated brick. corresponding water absorption 14.9% 16.2% value is greater than 10.3 MN/m^2 which minimum negligible weather (NW) conditions. less 17%, 22% ...

This paper considers the parallels between changes in Shanghai’s brick usage through history and city’s shifting identities. Taking a new angle on studies of Chinese wall, author looks at most basic element wall – context social political postcolonial theory proposes that it was identity, precipitated by both internal external forces, have ultimately driven selection subsequent interpretation t...

Rapid development around the globe, increase of population and construction with latest megastructures have escalated demand for energy. The increasing ambient outdoor temperature requires mechanical air conditioners to maintain a comfortable environment within building, this contributes high energy consumption. Building good thermal conductivity properties passively reduces This experimental w...
