The selecting criteria of finishing flooring materials affects the future performance of learning spaces, especially drawing halls. Value engineering is an analytical process that aims to obtain creative alternatives for any project. The research aims to raise the efficiency of the finishing floor material of the largest drawing halls in the Annex Building at the Modern Academy of Engineering and Technology in Maadi, by measuring the value of each alternative considering the value engineering job plan. The proposed approach provides a comprehensive evaluation system based on the functional requirements of floors that are further divided into 26 sub-criteria. The floor finishing material's functions have been evaluated according to the needs of users using an electronic questionnaire. The analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used as a multi-criteria decision-making technique that helps to measure the relative weight of each function. Then using the life cycle cost technique, the life cycle cost of each finishing floor alternative was calculated. Finally, the extent of achieving these functions by the suggested alternatives was measured related to its life cycle cost in the final steps. The research concluded that Imported HDF is the optimum solution that achieves the highest value. Relying on performance evaluation or evaluation of LCC alone is not a true reflection of the optimal solution during the selection process. This highlights the role of value engineering in getting desired balance.

“…This is attributed to the improvement in the interfacial bonding between clay and the matrix (NR) through the significant increase of crosslink density and physical interaction between them. The reinforcement of elastomers by particulate fillers has been studied in depth in numerous investigations [20,21,22 influence of filler in natural rubber in order to improve the mechanical properties of rubber floor tiles and found that the overall mechanical properties were similar to standard formula the filler addition has no effect [24].…”

The importance of polymers is comprised in their industrial and technological applications. A low-cost waterproofing product with good thermal insulation properties is the aim of this paper. Natural rubber (NR)/clay composite was prepared with different concentrations of clay (20, 40, 60, 80,100, 150 and 200) phr. An experimental investigation was carried out to obtain low-cost construction material with desirable mechanical, thermal and waterproofing properties. The influences of clay loading on mechanical, water absorption, swelling, specific gravity and thermal properties were inspected. It was observed that the incorporation of clay into the NR increases the thermal conductivity, the maximum degree of swelling and swelling index decrease with increasing clay content. The tensile properties of NR composite were found to be increased with the increase of clay content due to the increase of crosslinking density the incorporation of clay into the NR decreases the swelling parameters, Crosslink density calculations from both swelling and mechanical measurements have the same trend and order of magnitude. It exhibited some extent of improvement in tensile, hardness and compression set properties with the addition of clay. NR loaded with 60 phr clay was chosen as the reasonable value of thermal conductivity which lies in the range of thermal insulating material and suitable mechanical properties and other concentrations with the higher thermal conductivity can be used as a waterproofing sheet.

The present research aimed to develop natural rubber (NR) hybrid composites reinforced with treated ultrafine calcium carbonate/carbon black (CC/CB). The influence of CC/CB with various filler ratios (50/0, 40/10, 30/20, 20/30, 10/40 and 0/50) on mechanical properties and cure characteristics of the vulcanizates was investigated and their reinforcing efficiency was compared aiming to achieve the best ratio for CB partial substitution as compared to composites with CC and CB incorporated separately. The CC30/CB20 composites reached around to 17 MPa similar strength at break response compared to CC0/CB50 (16.83 MPa). Elongation at break increased 48% in relation to CC0/CB50. Hardness maintain similar values compare to high concentration of CB composites. Crosslink density results revealed similar chain number in rubber matrix representing better interaction between CC/CB. Scanning electron microscopy studies also reveal a good filler dispersion between filler particles and matrix. The results shown that the new material can be an alternative filler for partial substitution of CB conserving mechanical properties.
