Organic solid wastes (OSWs) should be regarded as valuable resources rather than dead‐
end landfill waste that causes public health and odor concerns. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is …

Efficiency and energy system improvement are among the main important modern studies
centered the energy consumption reduction and thermal performance enhancement of …

In recent decades, the issue of building energy usage has become increasingly significant,
and U-values for building envelopes have been key parameters in predicting building …

The purpose of this study was to determine the strength of hollow concrete block masonry
walls, beams, and columns, and compare their values with brick masonry walls and ordinary …

In this paper, a novel integrated measuring and control system for hot box experiments is
presented. The system, based on a general-purpose microcontroller and on a wireless …

This paper discusses an innovative APS hollow block wall with a frame made of concrete
modified with recycled materials. The technical data of the hollow block, the percentages of …

In order to improve the thermal performance of external masonry walls, the impact of the
blocks' internal configuration on both their mechanical strength and thermal properties is …

Hollow-core concrete blocks constitute the main method of construction for vertical walls in
Lebanon where almost all walls are masonry and use the same block shape. The detailed …

Hollow concrete blocks can be thermally improved either by modifying their cavities shapes
or by adding insulation materials into these cavities. It is also possible to improve the thermal …

The present study aims to investigate coupled heat transfer by natural convection,
conduction and surface radiation through hollow brick walls. The numerical simulations are …
