Concerning energy improvement of existing façades, a favourable system involves prefabricated multilayer panels, made internal insulation core and outer textile reinforced concrete layers. It is convincing alternative to external thermal composite systems (ETICS) ventilated it meets all the requirements for façade systems. The main advantage possibility toapply panel using crane, without any sc...

Exposure of reinforced concrete buildings to an accidental fire may result in cracking and loss the bearing capacity their major components, columns, beams, slabs. It is a challenge for structural engineers develop efficient retrofitting techniques that enable RC slabs restore integrity, after being exposed intense fires long period time. Experimentalinvestigation was carried out on twenty one ...

Abstract Thermal comfort is a relatively emerging topic in the Nepalese context. The role of thermal building performance foreshadowed by peoples’ emphasis on only structural aspect and active heating/cooling systems. This paper analyzes effectiveness passive retrofitting techniques an earthquake-resistant small community called Thakle Namuna Basti Melamchi, Nepal. Only three are used this simu...

A new methodology for the synthesis, design and retrofitting of energy efficient separation processes that is based on the concept of shortest separation lines is presented. The basic theory of shortest distillation lines, formulated as a nonlinear programming problem, is given. Two examples are presented that show that energy efficient separations correspond to shortest stripping lines – even ...

Introduction: Ferrocement is a low-cost material that can be utilized as replacement for expensive fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), which generally used retrofitting structural and non-structural reinforced concrete members. The objective of this paper to investigate the effectiveness wire mesh in flexural members such beams. It also investigated capacity beams, are with partial or complete regu...
