Frontiers of Green Building, Materials and Civil Engineering III (PDF)

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the Second International Conference on Green Building, Materials and Civil Engineering (GBMCE 2013), August 21-23, 2013, Taiwan. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 401 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Architecture and Landscape Design, Residential, Regional and Urban Planning, Sustainable City and Ecological Planning; Chapter 2: Environmental Energy, Protection, Technologies and Engineering, Emission Control;Chapter 3: Outdoor, Indoor Engineering and Design, HVAC Technologies; Chapter 4: Materials Engineering and Technologies, Materials in Industrial Processes;Chapter 5: Building Materials and Technologies;Chapter 6: Green Building and Engineering;Chapter 7: Energy Saving Building and Technologies, Photovoltaic and Solar Energy Applications, Energy Control; Chapter 8: Civil Engineering Technologies;Chapter 9: Construction Dynamics, Stability and Strength, Geotechnical and Seismic Engineering;Chapter 10: Modelling and Simulation Technologies; Chapter 11: Project Management and Marketing, Assessment and Safety.This three volume set contains selected and peer-reviewed papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Green Building, Materials and Civil Engineering held in Taiwan August 21-23, 2013. The conference is convened to promote the development of green building materials and to exchange research ideas. More than 400 papers were selected for this volume from 1000 plus submitted. Papers in Part One concern architecture and landscape design; residential, regional, and urban planning; and sustainable city and ecological planning. Those in Part Two discuss materials engineering and technologies, along with materials in industrial processes. Part Three contains papers examining civil engineering technologies. A sample of paper topics includes research on energy saving renovation of existing building in Tangshan, power generation forecasting of solar photovoltaic system using radial basis function neural network, research review on the anti-seismic characteristics of truss bridge structure, study of reinforced concrete bridge column ductility based on VB, analysis of temperature control mode of concrete construction in winter, blast furnace slag foundation packing grading and compaction characteristics analysis, discussion of several problems in the study of corrosion mechanism of steel-concrete composite beams, and study on characteristics and usage of Japanese paving materials.
