The research of progressive collapse is currently more focused on multistory buildings rather than large-span spacial steel structures which can also accommodate a great deal of people. It is also imperative, however, to investigate possible progressive collapse of large-span spacial steel structures, for example, string truss structures, due to the structural importance factor as well as material...
Green building (GB) has become an important new direction of research in the architectural realm during the last decade. With constantly emerging new technologies, materials, methods and tools, contemporary GB design gradually possesses more comprehensive features compared to many traditional buildings. This paper indicates the multi-disciplinary feature of GB design implied in existing environmental...
The article mainly carries on the analysis elaboration to the conservation concept of the historical blocks, simultaneously analysis and studies the idea, manner and method of historical block protection in Germany and China, attempts to explore one kind of new protection method which is suitable in the Chinese national condition. To protect the historical block, we have to protect its whole style...
Rural houses of north China were built in severe environment with rather lower economic and technological support. Thermal properties and indoor comfort level are needy to be increased. With the premise of fulfilling basic building requirements of function, structure, the design of this demonstrated straw house in Daqing explored local green material and renewable sources and combined with low-tech...
Earth construction is a kind of natural construction system which has good thermotechnical property. Within its life cycle, its energy consumption is much lower than conventional construction. Therefore, it is suitable for our low-density and small model building groups in rural areas. However, traditional earth construction has many problems. Our thesis analyzed the data about the survey in rural...
Many research works have been conducted to study the mechanical properties of bamboo-based panel and the prospect in building structures. The study presented aims to evaluate the flexural behaviors of a new type of lightweight composite slabs consisted of cold-formed thin-walled steel C-section and bamboo-based panel sheathing. According to different interface composite and enhanced ways, three types...
This paper shows us the concept of remodeling traditional Yaodong housing in frigid climate of Loess plateau, and the low-carbonlife design through study and practice on a common housing project in Yan'an has proved that designers should pay attention to the regional characteristics in both function and space. To achieve the goal of creating high comfort with low-carbon, economic efficiency with fewer...
In cold areas, the amount of heating energy is closely related to the envelop enclosure of house. Among the envelop enclosure, the wall is the main way of heat loss, accounting to about 50% of the total. Based on the investigation of the straw brick houses in cold rural areas, this paper compared the energy consumption of straw brick wall with that of the traditional clan brick wall and EPS complex...
In China, the preservation of traditional residence in historic district is an urban problem of most concern. The purpose of writing this article is to provide some ecological preservation strategies. Beginning with the analysis of three typical preservation modes, the article firstly summarizes the existed common issues. Then, the ecological preservation conception is brought forward, followed by...
CFG pile, soil between the piles and lining constitute composite foundation and the technology for lining is always a key for the successful application of the composite foundation. For the problem of effects of actions about lining on CFG pile and composite foundation, through test and according to the text result of three pile composite foundation, this paper discuss the influence of lining thickness...

It shows the initial focus on new concepts and material consideration of space in inviting international practice, and the recent local concerns of a more environmentally and culturally sensitive practice. The paper highlights the...
Discusses the re-utilization of the riverside, comparing the differences between the regular design of riverside and ecological balance. Further summarizing the strategy of the old urban riverside ecological stability, according to the gathering of internal and external empirical research and methods of contrast and analysis: First, the antecedence measure of the river's ecological balance, including...
This paper presents a comparative analysis between GB/T50378, CASBEE and HK-BEAM in three fields, namely: origination and structure; scope, weighting and ranking system and application statues. The result of this paper indicates that CASBEE and HK-BEAM are used widely in their own region while GB/T50378 still needs to be improved.
Based on the viewpoint of architecture, this paper analyzes the differences of design goals and building forms between the green building and the health house. Giving an introduction to the technology system of domestic health house, it points out health house be an important model to realize sustainable human residence environment. Finally, some measures to design health house has been put forward...
Hakka houses in Gan,Min and Yue provinces and Diaolous in Kaiping both were parts of watchtower local houses of China.The distinctions of historical background and culture between them led to the two types of watchtower local houses were different in the following several sections: architecture form,structure,materials and decoration. Based on these aspects,the comparative study about the differences...
According to urban landscape of the social, cultural, ecological and economic value, This paper outlined the landscape of Xuchang ancient city, and discussed the historical and cultural landscape, including integration and reconstruction of district landscape, cultural landscape and ecological landscape. Xuchang ancient city was planned on basis of economic value, culture value, social value and ecologic...
On the basis of the research on wooden architecture in East Asia, this paper argues that the ChaShou in Central Plains do have structural significances in early periods. For example, in Wei and Jin Dynasties, ChaShou had been widely applied, and in Sui and Tang Dynasties it also became the main component to support the ridged purlin. Then with the development of constructional technology, ChaShou...
Based on the theory of green building, through introducing green building and green techniques showed in World Expo of Shanghai, put forward some proposals to green building's development of our country.
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is the first full-size Chinese or “scholars” garden built outside of China, and is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Built in April, 1986, the garden was built by Suzhou craftsmen that finished the design and prefabricated work in Mainland China, and then shipped all parts including traditional Chinese wooden buildings, garden rocks and lots...
Rural architecture energy-saving is one of the most important branches in the field of building energy-saving. Central China area belongs to the hot summer and cold winter zone in the view of thermal design in China and there are many problems in the aspect of rural architecture energy-saving. Focusing on these problems, by analyzing the main characteristics of the application of rural architecture...
