Automatic inductive theorem proving and program construction methods using program transformation
… proofs. These theorem proving and program construction techniques make use of the distillation algorithm to transform input conjectures into a normalised form which we call distilled form. The proof rules are applied to the resulting distilled program. Our theorem proving and program …

Weaving Architecture: An Exploration of Old and New Materials and Construction Methods in Washington, D.C.
This is an architectural thesis on weaving. The city is a massive textile, a patchwork of buildings, infrastructure and people. We alter the urban environment within the confines established by lot lines, streets and zoning similar to the weft on a loom, conforming to the rules of the warp. The …

A comparative study of construction waste generation rate based on different construction methods used in construction projects in Malaysia
In Malaysia, the huge generation of construction waste (CW) has led to negative impact on the environment. Limited data is available on quantification methods of CW in the country. The lack of quantification methods has resulted to the improper management of CW. The consequence of the improper CW …

An Enhanced Comparative Life Cycle Assessment Approach for Evaluating The Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions of Prefabricated Construction Methods
Construction is one of the largest industries which have a significant impact on the environment. It is known that concrete has been the second most consumed material - only after water - in the world for years. It has been estimated that buildings and construction account for 37% of energy related …
