Optimizing the Cross-sectional Shapes of Extruded Aluminium Structural Members for Unitized Curtain Wall Facades
Curtain walls are lightweight, weathertight, exterior facades. They are capable of resisting wind loads, but provide no support for the building it to which they are attached. Although they are used to enclose many different...

Moisture uptake characteristics of a pultruded fibre reinforced polymer flat sheet subjected to hot/wet aging
This paper studies the moisture uptake characteristics of a pultruded E-glass fibre reinforced (isophthalic polyester) polymer after long-term exposure to hot/wet conditions. Both fully exposed samples of varying aspect ratios...
Measuring the effective Young's modulus of structural silicone sealant in moment-resisting glazing joints.
Structural silicone sealants are synthetic rubber adhesives used in the construction industry to bond glass and other sheet infill materials to the frames of windows and curtain walls. In this paper, two different algebraic...

Quantum teleportation using coherent emission from telecom C-band quantum dots
T Müller, M Anderson, J Huwer, J Skiba-Szymanska, AB Krysa, R Mark Stevenson, J Heffernan, DA Ritchie, AJ Shields
Feb 12, 2021
A practical way to link separate nodes in quantum networks is to send photons
over the standard telecom fibre network. This requires sub-Poissonian photon
sources in the telecom wavelength band around 1550 nm, where the...
New C∧N∧C Bis-Cyclometalated Platinum(II) Complexes
Sara Fuertes Lorda, Simon K Brayshaw, Paul R Raithby, Stefanie Schiffers, Mark R Warren
Jan 01, 0001
The reaction of a new ligand, ethyl 2,6-diphenylisonicotinate (EtO(2)C-CAN boolean AND C-H(2)), with K(2)PtCl(4) in acetic acid affords the monocyclometalated complex [{(EtO(2)C-CANAC-H)Pt(mu-Cl)}(2)] (1), which transforms to...
Phase formation behaviour in alkali activation of clay mixtures
Alkali-activated soils have potential as low carbon, low cost construction materials. There is a lack of fundamental understanding around how soil composition influences alkali activation behaviour, especially for uncalcined...
Innovative use and characterization of polymers for timber-related construction
Timber gridshells have become a very popular, efficient, sustainable and beautiful structural application of timber. However, given the slender laths involved in this form of construction, there is concern over the durability of...

Design methods for flexibly formed concrete beams
This paper presents an iterative method for the design of structurally optimised, simply supported, flexibly formed, concrete beams. The design and construction method using flexible formwork has been shown to facilitate...

Axial Rotation and Lateral Torsional Buckling of Extruded Aluminium Mullions in Curtain Wall Facades
Large modern buildings frequently are enclosed by lightweight, panelised, aluminium-framed facades, known as unitised curtain walls. This study shows that, in such wall systems, the established procedures for analysing the...

This paper presents an iterative method for the design of structurally optimised, simply supported, flexibly formed, concrete beams. The design and construction method using flexible formwork has been shown to facilitate...
Durability enhancements using fabric formwork
By replacing conventional concrete moulds with flexible sheets of permeable fabric the construction of optimised concrete elements that provide material savings of up to 40% when compared to an equivalent strength prismatic...
Day one sustainability
Emissions reductions targets for the UK set out in the Climate Change Act for the period to 2050 will only be achieved with significant changes to the built environment, which is currently estimated to account for 50% of the...

Form-Finding approach for flexibly formed concrete elements
There is no reason why concrete elements should be prismatic. Concrete is mouldable and can be cast in efficient forms which follow the stresses varying along the length of a concrete element. One option to achieve this is to...
Rationalization of Freeform Space-Frame Structures for Fabrication
In recent years, the application of space-frame structures on large-scale freeform designs has significantly increased, due to their lightweight configuration and the freedom of design they offer. However, this has introduced a...

GFRP durability appraisal
The findings of a durability study undertaken on pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) cladding panels are presented. Sourced at demolition from the Second Severn Crossing Visitors’ Centre building in the UK, the...
