Within this study, the applications of ready-mixed concrete in Edirne are examined in terms of surface hardness and compressive strength. The measurements, done on the load-bearing elements of buildings with schmidt hammer, ...

The impact of building materials on the environment throughout their life cycle essentially defines the total environmental impact of the buildings in which they are used [1]. Buildings have an enormous and continuously ...

Energy consumption of recent buildings in Turkey continues to increase, as it does around the world. Conversely, traditional rural house types perform well in terms of energy efficiency. This study investigated the energy ...

This study investigated the extractive recovery of Ni(II) from its aqueous acidic chloride solutions using a commercial extractant Alamine 336 diluted with m-xylene. A recently proposed generic model equation was originally ...

Buildings have important effects on the health and several performances of human because a long part of the human life passes inside the buildings. That is why the physical conditions in the buildings should be suitable ...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to research the ecological properties of building materials used in some traditional buildings in Turkey and discuss the environmental benefits thereof. Design/methodology/approach - ...

In the scope of this study, boiling points of aqueous solutions of NaCl, DCl, CaCl2, BaCl2, KNO3 and Ca(NO3)2 salts with salt concentrations between 0.5335 and 6.5935 mol kg-1 within 21.332-101.325 kPa pressure range have ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the daylighting performances of classrooms. For this study, a classroom in Kayali Campus and two classrooms in Kavakli Campus of Kirklareli University have been selected. In these ...

Today serious environmental problems are being experienced all around the world. The increase in these problems emerges to a large extent from the buildings, because building make negative impacts on environmental values ...

Extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous HCl solutions into organic Alamine 336-m-xylene systems were studied. Extraction experiments were repeated for three initial metal concentration ratios with total initial metal ...
