Sustainable earth walls to meet the building regulations [PDF]
, 2004 The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of un-fired clay bricks, a straw clay mixture and straw bales have been measured using a thermal probe technique, with an iterative method for data analysis. The steady-state air-to-air thermal transmittance, or U-

Lateral Load Carrying Capacities of Particleboard Shear Walls Made by Gluing with Timber Studs
BioResources, 2022 Particleboard shear walls were developed and their lateral load carrying capacities were evaluated. The shear walls were made by connecting particleboards and timber studs with polyurethane (PUR) or nails.

Seismic Response of a Platform-Frame System with Steel Columns [PDF]
, 2017 Timber platform-frame shear walls are characterized by high ductility and diffuse energy dissipation but limited in-plane shear resistance. A novel lightweight constructive system composed of steel columns braced with oriented strand board (OSB) panels ...

Effects of Simulated Decay in Perforated Light-Frame Wood Shear Walls
, 2021 Light frame wood structures are a very popular choice for homeowners and builders alike. These structures implement shear walls, often with openings, designed by structural engineers based on local wind and seismic risk to resist the lateral loads and transfer them to the foundation.

Detonation interaction with an interface [PDF]
, 2007 Detonation interaction with an interface was investigated, where the interface separated a combustible from an oxidizing or inert mixture. The ethylene-oxygen combustible mixture had a fuel-rich composition to promote secondary combustion with the ...
