This thesis is an investigation in taking the architectural element "wall" and celebrating it in the design of a building. Walls are necessary elements in the urban fabric, and as such, should be celebrated. They enrich the space that they surround and enrich that which surrounds them as part of the urban fabric. The project involves first creating walls with presence, then enclosing them in a manner that reveres them, that preserves their significance and emphasizes their presence. Master of Architecture

Thesis (PhD(Civil Engineering))--University of South Australia, 2022. Includes bibliographical references. Waste tyre production is growing rapidly, creating significant environmental problems that demand cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions. This PhD project investigated utilising tyre encased soil elements (TESEs) as construction materials for low-rise buildings. The mechanical properties of TESEs, interfacial properties between TESEs and structural performance of tyre walls were investigated through experimental tests and numerical simulations. Results showed TESEs could take massive loads with minimal deformations. Dry-stack tyre walls could satisfy the load-bearing requirement for low-rise buildings. Economic analysis showed reusing whole tyres in construction has carbon neutrality and financial benefits. The analytical and numerical methodology proposed in this study can aid professionals in designing and analysing the load-bearing performance of TESEs and tyre walls.

This paper focuses on trends observed in the sound transmission results from a research project that studied both sound and fire resistance of wall assemblies intended for multi-family residential buildings. The National Research Council led the consortium project, with support from CMHC, Canadian Wood Council, Forintek Canada, Gypsum Manufacturers Canada, Ontario Min. of Housing, Owens Corning, Roxul, and Can.

ÖZET BÖLME DUVARLAR VE RAND I MANLAR İNİN DE?ERLEND İ R İ LMES İ ÜNVER, Deniz Yüksek Lisans Tezi, Yapı Bilgisi, Mimarlık Tez Yöneticisi: Öğr. Gör. Yaprak Yolal Haziran 1990, 132 sayfa Bu tezde, iç bölme duvarları çalışılmış ve randımanları değerlendirilmiştir. İlk iki bölümde yaklaşımı ve değerlendirilmesi araştırılmıştır. Daha sonra tasarım kararları, boyutsal düşünceler ve bölmelerin üretim yöntemleri çalışılmıştır. Bölme duvarların randıman gereksinmeleri; kalınlık, malzeme ve konstruksiyon, birleşim detaylarına göre değerlendikten sonra tez; evler prefabrik yerleşimler, ofisler, oteller, okullar ve hastaneler gibi tanımlanmış alanlar için uygun ürünleri bulmaya çalışmıştır.

Yaprak YOLAL June 1990, 132 pages In this thesis, interior partitions are studied, and their performance is evaluated. In the first two chapters the performance approach and evaluation is examined. Then, the design decisions, dimensional considerations and methods of manufacture of partitons are studied. After evaluating the performance requirements of partitions according to thickness, material and, construction, joint details, the thesis tried to find the suitable products for the defined spaces, such as houses, prefabricated residences, offices, hotels, schools and hospitals. Keywords: Partition, Performance Requirements, Performance Specification, Evaluation. cod no: 601.02.02 - i - 132

The work now reported covers principally the test results as determined from fire tests on full scale (10 ft by 12 ft) and small panel (2 1/2ft by 2 1/2 ft) specimens. These tests were conducted during the two-year period from October 1967 to 1969 at the NRC Fire Research Laboratory. Some evaluation of the results and some conclusions have been drawn and are presented in this report.
