An architecture of interlocking order
… of nature is Architecture. This study is about interlocking order among architectural elements in the design of an architecture. For this study, the building which is designed to emulate an architecture of interlocking order is an Institute for Scholarly Studies. This building is designed for …

Hybrid And Smart Topologically Interlocking Materials
… architectured materials, Topologically Interlocking Materials (TIMs). These materials are created as an assembly of unit elements arranged in an interlocking pattern such that the load transfer between unit elements occurs by contact only. In the absence of adhesive interaction, the …

Sliceforms: Deployable structures from interlocking slices
A sliceform is a volumetric, honeycomb-like structure assembled from an array of cross-sectional planar slices that are interlocked via pairs of complementary slots placed along each intersection. If the slices are thin, these slotted intersections function as revolute joints, and the sliceform is …

Hydraulic Characterization of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
… groundwater recharge, among others. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements, PICP explicitly infiltrate water, a new concept to engineering practice for pavements. This technology as a load-carrying surface has not yet been fully characterized nor has the decades of design and performance …

Hydraulic Design of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
… this thesis is on the structural BMP, Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP). PICP is a type of pervious pavement that will increase the amount of water infiltrated through joint spacing filled with open graded aggregate above an open-graded base and sub-base, creating a stormwater …

Equilibrium analysis of topological interlocking for structural assemblies
… thesis presents an exploration of topological interlocking system of structural assemblies. By analysing existing topological structures, a mathematical theory is constructed to design different topological interlocking systems based on various existing design techniques. A structural …

Diagonal Tension Testing of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block Panels
… to determine factors affecting shear strength of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block (ICEB) panels. This work expands on the current information available about strength properties of ICEB assemblies, which are dry-stacked, as opposed to having mortared beds. Variables such as block strength, …

"Whiteness and news: the interlocking social construction of ""realities"""
This dissertation examines how mainstream U.S. journalism consistently serves white racial interests and the racial status quo, or what I call white incumbency, despite its push for diversity and its stated aims to improve coverage of nonwhite communities. It is based on an in-depth ethnographic …

Afghanistan and transnational war: Interlocking security dilemmas and strategic challenges
… to demonstrate the occurrence of multiple interlocking security dilemmas. Thematically, a case study method is used to explore these security conditions in terms of the structural, contextual and cognitive dynamics impeding regional cooperation. Three findings emerge. First, Afghan leaders …

Interlocking mechanisms regulating the circadian clock response to DNA damage
Almost all organisms have an endogenously generated and self-sustained time-keeping system that oscillates with a periodicity of about 24 h, namely the circadian clock, that help them adapt to daily environmental changes. Mammalian circadian rhythms are generated and maintained by …

In-Plane Cyclic Shear Performance of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block Walls
<p>This thesis presents results from testing of interlocking compressed earth block (CEB) masonry shear walls. CEBs are low strength earth masonry units sometimes stabilized with cement or lime. The interlocking compressed earth blocks (ICEBs) used in this experiment are dry stacked interlocking …

The Real "Syriana": Interlocking Directorates Shaping a Defense-Petroleum-Policy Complex
… industries, and examines the implications of the interlocking directorates that exist between these two industries, along with the strength of ties to government through former lawmakers and bureaucrats seated on these boards. The purpose of this research is to uncover evidence as to whether these …

Investigation of Out-of-Plane Properties of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block Walls
<p>Interlocking compressed earth blocks (ICEBs) are cement stabilized soil blocks that allow for dry stacked construction. The incomplete understanding of the inelastic performance of ICEB building systems limits widespread acceptance of this structural system in earthquake prone areas. This thesis …

The link between Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) design and nutrient removal
… commonly used PPS in South Africa are Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements (PICP) which comprise concrete pavers laid on selected stone layer works with surface infiltration enabled by the presence of carefully designed openings between the pavers filled with fine stone. The treatment …
