Developing an Economic Estimation System for Vertical Farms (2019)
Book Chapter

The concept of vertical farming is nearly twenty years old, however, there are only a few experimental prototypes despite its many advantages compared to conventional agriculture. Significantly, financial uncertainty has been identified as the larges... Read More about Developing an Economic Estimation System for Vertical Farms.

Mapping Lefebvre’s theory on the production of space to an integrated approach for sustainable urbanism (2019)
Book Chapter

The established gates to global markets have led to a clear divide between the economic opportunities in urban areas and the emerging struggles in rural areas. The subsequent migration has fuelled the fast growth of urbanisation rates in the developi... Read More about Mapping Lefebvre’s theory on the production of space to an integrated approach for sustainable urbanism.

Mindful places: the psychology and design of healing environments (2019)
Book Chapter

How does the external physical environment interact with the internal environment of the mind, and our mind-body experience? In this paper, I will explore how the spaces and places of our increasingly urbanised world affect human well-being, drawing...

Fight club – whether to make architecture or blow it up! (2019)
Book Chapter

Dik Jarman has nearly thirty years of experience in the profession of architecture as well in stop motion animation winning multiple international awards in both endeavours. In this Chapter he describes the lessons that each profession had to offer i... Read More about Fight club – whether to make architecture or blow it up!.

Chapter 7: Integrating Remediation and Resource Recovery of Industrial Alkaline Wastes: Case Studies of Steel and Alumina Industry Residues (2019)
Book Chapter

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020. With an estimated annual production of two billion tonnes globally, alkaline industrial wastes can be considered both major global waste streams, and materials that offer significant options for potential resour...

Masonry mechanical properties (2019)
Book Chapter

Different approaches can be followed for numerical modeling of masonry and historical structures. Depending on the modeling strategy and level of complexity involved, a set of input parameters related to linear and nonlinear properties of units and m...

Macromodeling approach for pushover analysis of textile-reinforced mortar-strengthened masonry (2019)
Book Chapter

The strengthening of masonry structures using composite-based solutions has received significant research attention in recent years due to their proved considerable influence on enhancing structural characteristics, for example, stiffness and strengt...

Advanced finite element modeling of textile-reinforced mortar strengthened masonry (2019)
Book Chapter

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) strengthening is an innovative technology for effective reduction of seismic vulnerability of existing masonry and historical structures. At present, numerical modeling strategies for evaluation of the in-... Read More about Advanced finite element modeling of textile-reinforced mortar strengthened masonry.

Pushover analysis of fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened masonry (2019)
Book Chapter

This chapter presents an overview of modeling techniques commonly used for pushover analysis fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened masonry components. This technique, consisting of a static nonlinear analysis generally performed by monotonicall... Read More about Pushover analysis of fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened masonry.

Theoretical and FE models for the study of the bond behavior of FRCM systems (2019)
Book Chapter

The bond behavior at the interfaces of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)-strengthened masonry is a critical mechanism in the nonlinear response of strengthened masonry structures. The current literature contains interesting experimental, t... Read More about Theoretical and FE models for the study of the bond behavior of FRCM systems.

WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture (2019)
Book Chapter

We spend most of our lives in buildings where we interact with people that occupy the same space. A common and intuitive form of interaction with others is to synchronise our own behaviour with theirs, and such interpersonal synchrony can have variou...
