Most-cited papers in Building Research and Practice

Thermal comfort as part of a self-regulating system

Fergus Nicol, Michael Humphreys · 1 Jan 1973

From studies of the behaviour of children in classrooms and of workers in offices, this article suggests that we should pay more attention to the way people react positively to their thermal environment, by changes of clothing, changes of metabolic rate and modifications to the environment itself. The reactions will be constrained by social pressures,…

Design of vertical keyed shear joints in large panel buildings

Kurt Kielsgaard Hansen, M Kavyrchine, G. Melhorn et al. · 1 Jan 1974

Designing large-panel buildings for stability against wind loads presents complications when the shear walls are themselves of panel construction, since the joints have strength and stiffness characteristics different from those of the panels. The problem has been examined in tests carried out in many countries which are now evaluated in this considered report by members…

Prolonging the life of earth buildings in the tropics

Arthur Hammond · 1 Jan 1973

Causes of deterioration of earth buildings in the tropics have been examined, important prevailing preventive measures highlighted and recommendations made on the basis of different climatic conditions in the tropics. In so doing, such factors as the climate of the area, topography, the layout, the properties of the soils, the design, the external rendering, workmanship…

Movable roof insulation in hot climates

Sanya Jain, K.R. Rao · 1 Jan 1974

This paper presents the results of experiments on the effect of a system of movable insulation – with and without a roof pond – on temperature and heat flow at the ceiling surfaces of air conditioned and unconditioned rooms in buildings roofed with thick reinforced concrete which are exposed to extremes of hot and cold…

Limiting the possibility of progressive collapse

B. Lewicki, S. O. Olesen · 1 Jan 1974

The chance of progressive collapse is not confined to panel-frame buildings, though the latter may be more exposed to the danger. The following statement is issued by CIB Working Commission W23A on loadbearing walls and accordingly deals with the subject in the context of loadbearing walls. Professor Lewicki is based at the Centre for Building…
