the "Gill System": analyzing Irving Gill's concrete construction methods in Southern California
This thesis examines the “Gill System,” a concrete wall system developed by Southern California architect Irving J. Gill (1870–1936) between 1919 and 1922. While existing scholarship on Gill largely emphasizes his early Modernism and experiments in social housing, few studies have been conducted on …

The use of natural site derived materials as concrete aggregate.
… material, in its natural form, as aggregate in concrete construction. It is proposed that the utilisation of this type of concrete aggregate will lead to; the preservation of natural materials that would otherwise have to be beneficiated off site, the reduction of waste material produced on a …

Concrete Innovation Museum: A Symphony of Liquid Stone and Light
This thesis explores how diverse concrete construction methods—cast-in-place, precast, concrete blocks, and 3D concrete printing—can be integrated to shape spatial experience, manipulate sunlight, and enrich architectural expression. The project is sited in DuSable Park, a 3.4-acre remediated site …

Mix design and testing improvements for 3D printable concrete mixtures with fibers
Vertical concrete construction primarily relies on formwork filled with a flowable concrete mixture. This is simple and effective, but formwork is costly. There has been a recent body of research and small industry in vertical concrete construction using a filament 3D printing technique for small …

Formwork as a design tool
… counterpart to the free form potential of concrete is the formwork which gives it its solid shape and texture. Naturally, the formwork takes up a bulk of the cost and labor time in reinforced concrete construction. However, despite its importance., formwork currently receives little …

Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams with High Strength Reinforcement
Using High Strength Reinforcement (HSR) in concrete construction allows steel volumes to be reduced, and economies to be realized. CSA Standard A23.3:19 “Design of Concrete Structures” limits the maximum yield strength for design to 500 MPa. This thesis investigates the flexural behavior of …

Effects Of Fiber And Lithium On Mechanical Properties Of Concrete Made Fromrecycled Concrete Aggregate
The growing demand of construction aggregates has raised concern about the availability of natural aggregates. Over two billion tons of natural aggregate are produced each year in the United States and that number is expected to increase to 2.5 billion tons by 2020. This has raised concern about …

The state of Namibia's concrete infrastructure – A comparative study of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Arandis and Usakos towns
In Namibia, the design and construction specification of concrete (for durability) follows the traditional method of prescribing parameters which over time are believed to produce durable concrete. These parameters include concrete exposure definition, cover, concrete strength, concreting materials …
