This limited retail activities to front rooms of the ground floor and the buildings had to be narrow. A baseline survey of 50 shopping malls in Kampala Central Business ...

A floor slab of buildings can be used as a ground heat exchanger by equipping exchange pipes with horizontal layout, namely energy slabs.

This fatal drawback overcome installing in an underground parking lot, where influence not significant. study experimentally investigated applicabili...

At this time construction of the royal house is growing very fast at Batam City. The matter proves that are people's successfully for planning building Floor Slab Analysis with Hirzfeld Method done knowing main deflection coefficient and flexible moment floor slabs different dimensions have four cases. After analyzed then, obtain results higher dimension slab then also.
