Green roofs are being incorporated into stormwater management programs around the world. While numerous studies have estimated private benefits to owners and residents of buildings with green roofs, value multiple public received by non-building less well known. We use a choice experiment survey estimate for proposed roof program in Portland, Oregon, USA. These include reduced combined sewer ov...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com the complexity of FCB fabrication process the material is widely implemented. They are used in building construction, as siding, ceilings, floors, roofs and tile backer boards. The cellulose fiber cement siding is commonly used as a replacement for wood siding, as it is less expensive and more durable, and has lower maintenance costs [1]. The FCB al...

A method is proposed for building and road detection on VHR multispectral aerial images of dense urban areas. Spatial and spectral features of segmented areas are classified using a 3-class SVM integrating some a priori and contextual information to handle unclassified patterns and conflicts. Geometrical object features and additional information improve the classification accuracy in the diffi...

This paper presents new aspects of Anton Tedesko’s design for an important thin shell concrete roof. The study of this roof results from the examination of original engineering drawings and calculations which we present with the goal of promoting a greater understanding of the structural design of a major figure in the tradition of 20th century building. CE Database subject headings: Thin shell...

We examine the influence of roofs’ shapes on the boundary layer of a simplified urban canopy by computing non-stationary Navier-Stokes flow over a periodic pattern. The solution is obtained by means of finite element method (FEM). We use non-conforming Crouzeix-Raviart elements for velocity and piecewise constant elements for pressure. The resulting linear system is solved by the multigrid meth...

The impacts of biochar amendment on the quality and quantity runoff, substrate properties soil fauna in two types experimental vegetated roofs (‘plantings’ ‘mats’) were examined during a 7-year period southern Finland. Biochar reduced leaching phosphorus (P) both plantings, which established with seeds meadow plants 100-mm-thick crushed brick mixture as growth medium, mats comprising 40-mm-thic...

A system has been developed to acquire, extend and re ne 3D geometric site models from aerial imagery. The system hypothesizes potential building roofs in an image, automatically locates supporting geometric evidence in other images, and determines the precise shape and position of the new buildings via multi-image triangulation. Projectively warped image intensity maps are associated with the ...

Two speakers send the Islamic call to prayer sailing across Thet Kal Pyin, a refugee camp less than 100 km from Myanmar’s border with Bangladesh. The call wafts over several neat rows of large, low-slung buildings with blue roofs. Several families live in each structure, and the camp is home to around 5,000 people. Most, if not all, belong to the Rohingya ethnic group, a Photo Credit: Soe Than ...
