Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...

Environmental and Energy Performances of the Nearly Net-Zero Energy Solar Decathlon House with Dynamic Facades: A Comparison of Four Climate Regions

Buildings
Dynamic facades allow for effective climate adaptability, representing a new trend in future building envelope design. Present research on dynamic facades often focuses solely on certain aspects of the built environment or relies entirely on simulation ...

Influence of Manganese Dioxide (MnO2) Coated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Spikelet Fibers on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Fiber Cement Composites

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
MnO2‐coated OPEFB fibers produced via a simple wet process showed smoother surfaces and significantly reduced water absorption in fiber cement composites, enhancing moisture resistance. ABSTRACT The use of natural fibers in cement‐based composites is increasingly encouraged as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers; however, their inherent ...

Study of natural ventilation for a modular façade system in wind tunnel tests [PDF]

, 2015
Wind tunnel tests are a reliable tool to determine the effect of natural ventilation on buildings. This paper presents results of wind tunnel tests conducted to evaluate the influence of ventilation modules positioning on a façade system.

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

Impact of Rustication Joints on Lightweight Insulation in Ventilated Facade Systems

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
One of the problems of ventilated facades systems is the emission of heat-insulating layer. Emission is a process of separation or removal of material’s particles from insulation by virtue of different factors.

The state of modelling face processing in humans with deep learning

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 117, Issue 2, Page 656-676, May 2026.
Abstract Deep learning models trained for facial recognition now surpass the highest performing human participants. Recent evidence suggests that they also model some qualitative aspects of face processing in humans. This review compares the current understanding of deep learning models with psychological models of the face processing system ...

Solutions to Improve the Thermal Protection of the Administrative Building

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
At the end of the 90s, with the introduction of changes in the regulatory documents of the Russian Federation №3 to SNiP II-3-79*, regulatory requirements for thermal protection of buildings were revised towards increase.
