Abstract

Energy efficiency in buildings is a crucial aspect of sustainable architecture, particularly in cold climatic regions like Kashmir. Traditional Kashmiri construction materials have been utilized for centuries, yet their thermal insulation properties lack comprehensive scientific validation. This review paper critically examines existing research on indigenous Kashmiri building materials, highlighting the research gap in experimental quantification of their insulation properties. The paper discusses the thermal performance of materials such as Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB), Timber, Willow Mats, Mud Plaster, and Stone Masonry, emphasizing their potential for modern energy-efficient housing. A comparative analysis with contemporary insulation materials is conducted, and hybrid insulation strategies are proposed to optimize energy conservation. The review underscores the necessity for policy interventions to promote the adoption of vernacular materials and advocates for further studies focusing on real-time thermal performance assessments, lifecycle cost analyses, and integration with modern construction technologies.

Abstract

Traditional construction techniques in Srinagar, particularly Dhajji Dewari and Taq, exhibit remarkable seismic resilience due to their modular and energy-dissipating properties. However, these structures remain vulnerable to high-intensity seismic forces due to material degradation, lack of standardized retrofitting techniques, and evolving urbanization patterns. This review consolidates existing research on the seismic performance of traditional dwellings in Srinagar, highlighting the need for innovative retrofitting strategies. A comparative analysis with modern seismic-resistant designs is conducted to emphasize the strengths and limitations of traditional methods. The study identifies the absence of standardized retrofitting frameworks as a crucial research gap, necessitating collaborative efforts among engineers, policymakers, and conservationists. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern engineering paradigms, a sustainable approach to seismic risk mitigation in heritage-rich regions is proposed.

Abstract

The dynamic behavior of high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) structures under seismic and wind loads is a crucial aspect of structural engineering. This review synthesizes recent advancements in computational modeling, material assessment, and performance-based design principles. The existing research, including a case study on G+12 RC structures, highlights key parameters such as base shear, story displacement, drift ratios, and modal frequencies. While previous studies confirm the adequacy of structural designs based on national standards, a notable research gap remains in optimizing torsional effects and integrating advanced damping mechanisms. This paper critically analyzes state-of-the-art methodologies, including finite element modeling, non-destructive testing, and response spectrum analysis, to enhance structural resilience. Future prospects suggest incorporating smart materials, energy dissipation systems, and hybrid analysis techniques to further improve dynamic performance under extreme loading conditions.

Abstract

Seismic resilience is a fundamental concern in structural engineering, necessitating comprehensive assessments of material-specific performance under earthquake-induced forces. This review paper synthesizes existing research on the seismic behavior of different construction materials, including concrete, steel, timber, and composites, to identify research gaps and areas for future advancements. While prior studies have extensively analyzed individual materials, a comparative, data-driven approach remains underexplored. This paper critically examines material properties influencing seismic response, including displacement, stress distribution, failure modes, and factors of safety. The findings highlight the necessity for advanced modeling techniques and hybrid material applications to optimize seismic resilience. By bridging existing knowledge gaps, this review contributes to the development of performance-based seismic design methodologies, facilitating enhanced structural safety and sustainability.
