The importance of sustainability has become one of the major priorities in the field of construction with 40% of total energy worldwide while account for 25% of carbon dioxide emissions are due to buildings. Thus, the implementation of sustainability along with use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools are employed in this research to perfo...

Earth has been used as a material for the building in the form of red bricks, sand mortar, mud floors, and lime sand ceiling since the earlier civilization of mankind. Due to its numerous climatic changes and the lack of standards, the earth’s use is decreased. Due to potential capacity and less energy consumption in producing compressed earth bloc...

The use of conventional materials in building construction results in increased emission of carbon dioxide and consumption of more energy. The replacement of sustainable materials with conventional materials can help in reducing the overall energy consumed while making it more eco-friendly. The aim of the study is to replace the cement used in manu...

This paper helps in identifying the utilization of industrial by-product copper slag and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBS) as a stabilizing agent in the expansive soil with high swelling property causing severe damage to the building built on it and this study is used for identifying the optimum percentage of copper slag and GGBS for incre...
