Study of visco-elastic properties of shoppers waste for its reuse as construction material

Design and construction of prestressed arch using plastic shoppers waste

“…Permissible deflection = Δ p Permissible crown height = y c -Δ p From equation [1], calculate the final radius "R F " of the arch using permissible crown height and the span. Proyecto y ejecución de un arco pretensado con residuos plásticos de origen doméstico Design and construction of prestressed arch using plastic shoppers wasten Permissible reduced length of arch due to Permissible deflection = S BP = R F x θ If S BR x S BP , design is OK.…”

“…Compressed shoppers waste (CSW) blocks have been fabricated for use as a construction material. The engineering properties of CSW-blocks required for design have already been investigated and published (1). The elastic properties are important for short term loading and used for design of prestressing cables.…”

“…Procedural steps for the construction of arch are briefly discussed. The load testing of the arch to check the design and post construction performance has been published (1). The uses and limitations of the arch are also discussed.…”

“…Other properties, termed as elastic strain index (ESI) and viscous strain index (VSI) are required to predict the post construction deformations/deflections. Design charts relating VSI and ESI with block density and applied stress have been developed and published (1).…”

A DFuzzy-DAHP Decision-Making Model for Evaluating Energy-Saving Design Strategies for Residential Buildings

“…Numerous factors are involved when considering energy-saving designs, particularly for large-scale carbon-neutral community building developments; examples include the use of renewable energies [31], eco-designs [32], solar energy [33][34][35], lighting [36], compressed shopper waste (CSW) blocks [37], waste disposal [8], air-conditioning facilities [38], ventilation designs [39,40], shading designs [41], heating systems [42,43], green roofs [44], building envelopes [45], and wall insulation for buildings and double-skin facades [46][47][48]. Therefore, comprehensive preparation in integration and design is required to demonstrate effectiveness.…”
