Abstract null null In 1995 a survey, termed the ‘Termite Tally’, was undertaken in Australia to measure the effect of age of a house on the probability that it had been attacked by termites. The data was obtained by asking the current homeowner for this information. It became apparent that in general, homeowners had information on the occurrence of termite attacks only if these attacks had occurred during their occupancy. On average this occupancy was 11 years. The primary aim of this paper is t...

Abstract null null Coal gangue (CG) is a kind of solid waste discharged from the process of coal mining and washing without efficient utilization. Motivated by using the CG as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for the partial substitution of cement, the CG was thermally activated via calcining under high temperature and the corresponding mechanism was discussed. The effect of calcination on the microstructure and pozzolanic reactivity of CG as well as the corresponding influence on the...
Abstract null null Thermal comfort prediction is essential for both maintaining a favorable indoor environment and null reducing energy consumption null . Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), as the most popular research method, has a limitation in processing various complex parameters and investigating the individual difference in occupants' thermal preference. Therefore, machine learning (ML) method has been utilized in exploring the personal thermal comfort prediction because of its strong self-study a...

Abstract null null This paper presents an investigation on the mechanical performance of inclined Dougong bracket sets under the vertical load. Initial inclination angles of Dougongs are determined based on material test results and embedment mechanism theories. Four full-scale Dougongs with different initial inclination angles are tested under the vertical load. The failure patterns, load-displacement curves, load distribution and displacement analyses are disclosed. Moreover, finite element ca...

Abstract null null This research evaluated the feasibility of using iron ore tailings (IOTs) to produce functional conductive composite materials as cement-based sensors based on carbon fiber (CF) reinforced cement composite. In this study, recycled IOTs are used as an alternative material to natural fine aggregate (0%, 30%, and 60%). Nine mixtures were produced. The effects of CF and IOTs content on mechanical properties and electrical conductivity were investigated; Based on the digital image ...
Abstract null null The poor mechanical properties of AISI 201 stainless steel under harsh environment limit its uses in modern building structures, automobiles and aerospace industry. Various technologies, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN) at different temperatures, are being used to reduce wear and tear of metals but the optimal method with acceptable results is still under development. In this paper, a novel duplex surface coating method, coupled...
