The conventional floor slab has few drawbacks of giving little structural support and posing a large amount self-weight to building. Therefore, bubble deck system is introduced tackle these limitations. This paper aims provide comprehensive review the on its design performance. A systematic literature was conducted in this based selected journal articles through database search engine. findings...

OBJECTIVES To study the relationship between a high incidence of bronchial asthma among employees working in an office building and an indoor air problem related to the degradation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) floor coverings in the building. The indoor air measurements and results of renovations are also described. METHODS Employees' symptoms were surveyed by a questionnaire, and the incidenc...

The yield-line method of analysis is a long established and extremely effective means of estimating the maximum load sustainable by a slab or plate. However, although numerous attempts to automate the process of directly identifying the critical pattern of yield-lines have been made over the past few decades, to date none has proved capable of reliably analysing slabs of arbitrary geometry. Her...

The performance of radiant heating systems (floor heating, ceiling panels) is relatively well documented. Water based systems, where pipes are embedded in the building structure, are now being increasingly used for cooling purposes. Several theoretical studies based on the use of computer simulations have been published, but very little is reported on the actual performance in existing building...

Current understanding in locomotion research is that, for humans, navigating natural environments relies heavily on visual input; in contrast, walking on even ground in man-made obstacle and hazard-free environments is so highly automated that visual information derived from floor patterns should not affect locomotion and in particular have no impact on the direction of travel. The vision liter...
