Selected, peer reviewed papers from the eco-AWAM International Conference on Civil Engineering 2015 (eco-AICCE’15), September 9-11, 2015, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The special focus of this proceedings is to cover the areas of infrastructure engineering and sustainability management. The state-of-the art information in infrastructure and sustainable issues in engineering covers earthquake, bioremediation, synergistic management, timber engineering, flood management and intelligent transport systems. It provides precise information with regards to innovative research development in construction materials and structures in addition to a compilation of interdisciplinary finding combining nano-materials and engineering.
The Second International Conference on Structural Engineering Mechanics and Computation was held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2004. Its mission was 'To review and share the latest developments, and address the challenges that the present and the future pose'. This book contains its key findings with contributions from academics, researchers and practitioners in the broad fields of structural mechanics, associated computation and structural engineering. Their work builds a clear picture of recent achievements in the advancement of knowledge and understanding in these areas. This text therefore covers all aspects of structural mechanics and is broken down into 36 sections which communicate th...
INTRODUCTION In the pursuit of developing new comforts and luxuries the greedy modern man is unintentionally got entangled into several environmental problems. Once the solar energy arrives on the earth, the earth’s surface heats up and begins to emit terrestrial radiation back into the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) and some other minor gases are nearly opaque, they obstruct or trap the outgoing terrestrial radiation or heat and makes the globe warmer than it be otherwise [John Houghton, 1997].
