It is necessary to study fire safety in buildings because the lack of knowledge behavior materials has taken too many lives. However, this field designed innovating construction systems and such as structural insulated panels (SIP), a much more practical alternative for fastest constructions, reducing amount material waste, offering cleaner lighter works, its thermal insulation properties possi...

The seismic performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) composite shear walls with different expandable polystyrene (EPS) configurations was investigated. Six concrete shear walls were designed and tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effect of fine RAC in designing earthquake-resistant structures. Three of the six specimens were used to construct mid-rise walls with a shear-span ra...

Hot-wire cutting is a common material removal process used to shape and sculpt plastic foam materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS). Due to the low cost and sculpt-ability of plastic foams they are popular materials for large sized (> 1 m3) prototypes and bespoke visual artefacts. Recent developments in robotic foam sculpting machines have greatly increased the ability of hot-tools to scu...

Seaport buildings have been affected by marine moisture for a long time, but most of the wall thermal insulation studies not considered transfer effect structure. Therefore, considering function structure and energy consumption solar radiation, based on cost analysis, paper puts forward research energy-saving technology harbor building analysis. Grey clustering is used to analyze project enviro...

background and objectives: adhesion and colonization are prerequisites for the establishment of bacterial pathogenesis. the biofilm development of pseudomonas aeruginosa was assessed on adhesive surfaces like dialysis membrane, stainless steel, glass and polystyrene. materials and methods: microtiter plate biofilm assay was performed to assess the effect of nutrient medium and growth parameters...

In this study, the recovery rates of dissolution method for radioactivity analysis expandable polystyrene (EPS) with a liquid scintillation counter (LSC) using tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, and acetone as solvents were estimated. The detection efficiency calibration curve each solvent was derived. Two methods—the volumetric ratio quenching agent method—were used to prepare quench source sets,...
