Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru (2022)
Journal Article
Eltaweel, A., Kuchai, N., Albadra, D., Coley, D., Hart, J., Acevedo-De-los-Ríos, A., & Rondinel-Oviedo, D. R. (2023). Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 44(1), 5-24. https://doi.org/10.1177/01436244221125720

Displaced populations are housed in various constructions, including lightweight predesigned structures. Theoretically, self-built heavyweight structures should ensure better temperatures and be closer to cultural norms. To examine this directly for...

Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads (2022)
Journal Article
Tantrapongsaton, W., Hansapinyo, C., Limkatanyu, S., Zhang, H., & Vimonsatit, V. (2022). Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads. Buildings, 12(9), Article 1420. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12091420

Defining the damage and deflection from the impact by using only the impact energy could be misleading due to the effect of the impact momentum. In addition, reinforced concrete columns might be subjected to repeated impact loading. Hence, this study...

Wood in buildings: the right answer to the wrong question (2022)
Journal Article
Göswein, V., Arehart, J., Pittau, F., Pomponi, F., Lamb, S., Zea Escamilla, E., …Habert, G. (2022). Wood in buildings: the right answer to the wrong question. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 1078(1), 012067. https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/1078/1/012067

Reducing the embodied emissions of materials for new construction and renovation of buildings is a key challenge for climate change mitigation around the world. However, as simply reducing emissions is not sufficient to meet the climate targets, usin... Read More about Wood in buildings: the right answer to the wrong question.
