This paper mainly studies on ecological values of Chinese traditional cave dwellings on Loess Plateau. Firstly, it states the plain ecological theories of general Chinese traditional dwellings, which are also the implicit guidelines for building cave dwellings; then it discusses the specific ecological values of the cave dwellings, such as energy saving, land saving and water saving; besides, it points...
In urban construction, waterfront landscape design is an important component of the city's landscape system design. How to establish correct design concepts and explore the historical and cultural characteristics of the waterfront landscape? This has very important significance. In this paper, it will analyse the existing problems in the China's urban waterfront landscape design, and explore strengthening...
At present, the architectural heritage are facing the impingement of the rapid development economy and the accelerating urbanization process in China. Although more and more attention has been paid to their preservation, the event of the architectural heritage destruction could be found almost everywhere. To a large extent, this should be ascribed to the government because the government plays a leading...
This paper researches the ecological environment from the perspective of system science and reveals that the ecological environment has the properties of unity and dynamic. Then the ecological environment is probed spiritually and materially, that is, to realize an all-out and multi-leveled interpretation of the ecological environment, the spiritual ecology is studied from the perspective of ecological...
Along with the computer function constantly upgrading and deepening of the application of computer-aided design technology, the paper shows that the previous application mode of “computer-aided design” has been dramatically shifted to the mode of “computer-aided thinking” during the past decades. The paper discusses the methods and process of applying computer-aided design technology in historical...
Objective existence of informal organization, and also have a positive impact on business and the negative effects. In the actual management of the process, some managers often ignore the formal organization of informal organizations, and that cause management failure, to bring the healthy development of enterprises impede or even sabotage. Therefore, corporate management should correctly deal with...
From the core of the Bill of Quantities of developing the project costs, this paper compares the differences in the cost of project between the mainland of China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in details, such as the rules of the Bill of Quantities, project codes, project names, measurement unit price, project quantities, integrated units, list co-price, measures to project cost. The...
In the backdrop of current rocketing growth of information technology and with the further opening of the building market, the building products have entered the market as commodities and the demand of the market for engineering information has been on the up. Sequentially, the construction costs information constitutes the significant part of the building market information. This paper introduces...
With its wast source of information and new communication technology, Internet has been embraced as an very important tool for students'autonomy learning. This study explores how college students make good use of Internet to facilitate their autonomy learning. It first specifies the scope of autonomy learning under the context of learning society, and explores the resources online that can be employed...
Through the analysis on the life properties of building energy-conversation, this paper explains the coupling between nodes and the rule of cohesion within nodes in the lifecycle of building energy conservation. The energy-saving chain of construction engineering is combined with the coupling concept of synergetics. With the influence degree of coupling factors between upstream and downstream of energy-saving...
In order to study the superficial and deep causes of public work quality accidents, we have collected 27 cases of construction quality accidents of public buildings publicized by the Japanese media. Statistic analysis is conducted by using the cause factor analysis method of failure study. We have discussed the superficial causes of construction quality accidents of public building, and deep impact...
An ecological house, indicates more one concept that a definite type of dwelling. The idea is to combine the various modes of heating, ventilation, power supply of the apparatuses to reduce the consumption of energy massively, therefore an exponential decay of the CO2 rejection. In this article, an analysis of the use of the various energy vectors in an individual dwelling in urban environment is...
Alone with the application of computer technology, the growing needs of modern design and productivity development, optimal design theory has been widely used in practical design projects. In this paper, Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Technique (SUMT) is used as a means of studying single-span portal frame optimal design, which brings about favorable results. Such method can be consulted and...
Based on the most common and most basic concept of construction, the technical potential of construction design is exploited in the engineering construction process from various angles, and the concepts of mass customization and integrated building construction are put forward. Moreover, the article explores the safeguard role of integrated construction in the performance of green building and its...
This report describes the design of a sustainable water supply and sanitation system in the villages of Tshapasha and Tshibvumo in Limpopo province South Africa. We begin by briefly describing the work done by previous Water and Health in Limpopo (WHIL) teams. The report provides details of the current process of monitoring and troubleshooting of the supply system built by previous teams in Tshapasha...
This paper detailed discusses the concept of the life cycle cost in construction project, and the importance for how to use the theory in road engineering. At the same time, it explores the cost of various stage, it analyses the different stage of road engineering from the whole cycle life cost, tells us the importance of different stage. At the end, it gives us some policy and advice.
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...
