Study the Corrosive Effect of Greenhouse Gases on Metallic and Non-metallic Materials
Abstract: Carbon dioxide is a major corrosive pollutant for building materials. It enters inside materials by diffusion or osmosis process and in presence of moisture it produces H2CO3 which decrease the pH value and accelerates chemical and electrochemical reaction with building materials. The carbonation reaction produces deterioration inside and outside of building materials. It produces corrosion reaction with metallic bar and disbanding with concrete. CO2 reacts with Ca (OH)2 and Mg(OH)2 …

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PRACTICES OF ANCIENT Vs MODERN ERA : A STUDY
Abstract: In the present era, architectural practice is way more different from that of as practiced in ancient era. There are some major factors which were evolved during building design practices periodically. An Architect must consider an over view of historical evolution of buildings by comparing their major design parameters with ancient building design/construction techniques implied. Therefore, it might also help to understand the decision making process of referred era with …
