Enhancing the Strength of Black Cotton Soil with Enzyme and Industrial Waste
Abstract: Expansive soils are troublesome and prone to ground movements, which can cause substantial damage to underlying buildings as well as a loss in bearing capacity. Moisture fluctuation activates the expansive character of soils, causing it to swell and shrink. This has long been known in geotechnical engineering. To treat expansive soils, a variety of stabilizing additives such as lime, cement, and fly ash have been employed. In recent years the …

"Achieving Sustainability Through Building Adaptationt"
Abstract: Building adaptation has a significant impact on sustainable development. There are various aspects of building obsolescence that affect the quality and performance of the building after its useful lifecycle, which include reduced environmental, economic, functional and social performance. Timely and effective building adaptation of the buildings which are facing obsolescence can extend its effective lifespan and this can provide considerable economic, environmental and social benefits, making it a sustainable alternative …

Optimization of Window Sizes based on Different Climatic Conditions
Abstract: Different climatic conditions have an impact on a building's performance. Climate-related factors will also affect how energy-efficient a structure is. As a result, making comparisons between buildings in various climate zones will produce inappropriate results. It is crucial to understand how much a building's energy performance can vary depending on the climate. By running energy simulation on the typical building, the climatic condition ratio is established for various climate zones …

Impacts of Green Facades in Modern Era
Abstract: Modern architecture was an architectural movement or style centred on cutting-edge construction technologies, particularly the use of reinforced concrete, glass, and steel. The foundational goal of 21st century architecture is to create better structures that are inherently sustainable by utilising better materials and technologies. Facades are the outermost covering of a building which have the maximum interaction with the environment. A wall that is completely or partially covered with vegetation …
