Optimal and heuristic algorithms of planning of low-rise residential buildings [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017 The problem of the optimal layout of low-rise residential building is considered. Each apartment must be no less than the corresponding apartment from the proposed list. Also all requests must be made and excess of the total square over of the total square of apartment from the list must be minimized.

Design and Construction of a Low-Rise Residential Building on a Landslide Slope
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract The implementation of national projects such as “Housing and Urban Environment” creates difficulties in the implementation of the national project “Ecology”, since the massive demolition of dilapidated and damaged housing leads to solid household waste. In the context of the ever-increasing intensity of urban development and the

influence of plasterboard clad walls on the structural behaviour of low rise residential buildings
Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2002 While the design and technology of conventional low rise light framed residential structures are relatively simple, their response to lateral loading is quite complex. This is due to the high degree of redundancy, the irregular geometry and interaction between the structural and non-structural components.
