Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been one of the most significant developments
in the construction industry in the last decade. BIM has been used in various stages of
construction, including maintenance and operation of facilities. BIM has a
ssisted the
management of the facility to deal with a large amount of maintenance information
including drawings, specifications. BIM has proven its effectiveness as a repository for
various types of data in building maintenance and a tool to support decision-making in the
field of maintenance.
However, the optimum maintenance of the facility is not only based on quantitative data,
but also on the knowledge and experience acquired by the company and the workers.
These experiences may be lost forever if they are not documented due to resignation and
retirement.
In this research we provide a methodology for obtaining knowledge while performing
maintenance of public buildings using BIM and Dynamo application using Parametric
models, which provide us with a high-central framework for information storage and
Visual Programming, which provides great capabilities for processing and extracting data
from a model BIM, processed, categorized into design, implementation and operational
knowledge, exported and re-linked to the building elements of the BIM model, up to a
BIM-oriented maintenance model with all design knowledge and addressed to the design
authorities.
There have been numerous studies dealing with the environmental and social aspects of the
type of buildings with internal courtyards, through studying the functions of the internal
courtyard, environmental, utilitarian, social and formative. but th
ese studies did not address
the importance of internal courtyard in achieving the ease of spatial orientation, through its
role in easy access to the space required In buildings in general, and in university buildings
in particular.
The research starts from the following hypothesis: The morphological and Syntactical
characteristics of the internal courtyard of the university buildings affect the ease of
orientation of the users, and aims to identify these characteristics that achieve easy access
to the goal. For this purpose, including theoretical and practical colleges, where a special
description of the morphological characteristics of the internal courtyard in the university
buildings, and determinants that help the designer in the use of the internal courtyard in
designing of spatial configurations of the university buildings to achieve the ease of spatial
orientation.
With the increasing trend towards the adoption of the modern data of building technology
in architecture represented by the so-called smart buildings in an exaggerated and
sometimes concise manner governed by the reality of the architectural state
of the target,
the question arises between the extent of the inevitability of the application of these data
and their long-term feasibility? And the extent of the realistic consensus dimension for its
actual adoption and the move towards a smart architectural future with its inputs and
outputs?
Therefore, the research aims to highlight the intelligent buildings concept and direction to
reach a qualitative understanding of the need to adopt them as a future direction for our
local economy in an integrated manner can be directed and formulated in proportion to the
possibility of maintaining an architectural safety distance through which can ensure
positive change in the direction of the future.
The behavior of the basaltic shear diaphragms of the remaining buildings of ancient times
was investigated as experimental research,and its resistance to natural factors and
horizontal loads resulting from wind and earthquakes,to take advantage of
them in the
maintenance of modern buildings,which are associated with floors and beams as horizontal
shear diaphragmsIn the hot and cold areas of the African continent, Asia and other similar
areas,to replace the reinforced concrete shear diaphragms,and metal shear diaphragms that
lose their resistance to the above factors. When the buildings are inspected, the vertical and
slanted slits resulting from the side loads are placed,it was found that the appearance of the
cracks related to the hardness of the shear diaphragm section, the basalt stone
specifications and the design of the shear diaphragm base.The research was conducted
to determine the durability, water permeability and resistance to pressure and tensile
strength of basalt stone samples used in historic stone buildings and their location in
laboratory methods.Horizontal loads resulting from seismic intensity were determined on
the front of the building at the tile level according to international requirements and
specifications.The method of calculating the basaltic shear diaphragms was
applied by applying arithmetic to build a basalt stone from several floors and a basement,
taking into account the characteristic resistance of basalt, depending on its density from
pressure and stretching and basalt stone in calculating.
This work theoretically investigates the nonlinear behaviour of
reinforced concrete dee aimed topcantilever beams with concentrated loads
at their free ends The study is aimed to in investigate the behaviour
and respnse of such deep cantilever bea
ms, and to help structural
engineers to design and adopt appropriate reinforcement detailing of
such elements. A complete review of literature on this subject is
made.
The concept of sustainability in architecture from the
perspective of architectural thought focuses on creating a
successful relationship between the building and the user
and the environment through sustainable design principles
and the preserva
tion of these principles, whether physical
Ooualemanoa to maintain and build on it, the advanced
materials research a high priority, where he will witness the
construction further sector of evolution, and issues related
to smart and sustainable buildings become more important.
That was supported us to analys high-tech building
materials to know their impact on the sustainability of
buildings
Latent heat storage is an economical way to achieve energy
efficiency and improve thermal comfort in buildings.
In this research, the effects of using PCM Wallboards in a
residential apartment envelop located in Homs was studied by PCM
Express so
ftware.
PCM wallboard with 23°C melting temperature was used and
installed on the inner face of the walls and ceiling of the apartment.
This investigation shows that the importance of using PCMs in
buildings envelope, compared with conventional thermal insulation
materials, due to the effectiveness of PCMs materials and storing
and releasing of thermal energy, which contributed to reducing of
thermal loads and improved the internal thermal comfort.
The aim of this study, the development of systems and controls set
standards and methods of restoration and protection and maintenance
to operate this business in the right direction and straighten restoration
goals in the right direction away from reconstructive mistakes that we
are experiencing as a result of the absence of references and standards
reconstructive and especially in our country.
In this research, the danger and the horizontal force effects on the
engineering structures will be explained, and we will focus on the
horizontal winds force effects on the bridges, the high buildings and
special engineering structures. The resul
ted loads will be analysed and
evaluated in both static and dynamic methods. In the end of the
research, two practical examples will be shown for the two methods.
The walls containing phase change materials (PCM) play a significant role in the
air conditioning of buildings. However, one of the characteristics which limits the use
of PCMs is their low conductivity. It is possible to solve this problem by coup
ling a
metal matrix with the PCM. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal size of a
wall which allows a complete change of state, and a homogenization of the temperature
without a too fast change-of-state rate. To study the thermal behavior of the wall, we
have carried out a numerical simulation using the COMSOL® software in considering a
unit cell. To describe the change of state, the method of the equivalent heat capacity
has been used. Paraffin has been chosen as PCM (melting temperature 24.5 °C). The
influence of the nature and the volume fraction of the metal were determined. The case
of honeycombs made of aluminum has been specifically treated.
