Investigating solar harvesting in various greenhouse designs with semi-transparent PV panels on roofs and sidewalls by Mohammadreza Gholami (17032317)

“…Among the designs, the Uneven Span GH achieved the highest total yearly STPV output (6,491 kWh/90.85 kWh/m²), followed by the Modified Arch and Even Span, while the Vinery design produced the least output (4398.86 kWh/73.31 kWh/m²). …”

Strengthening of thin reinforced concrete slabs with CFRP laminates by Hawileh, Rami

“…However, for the second group, the flexural capacity of the strengthened slab was increased by 48% of that of the control specimen. The preliminary results from this study have shown that, the thin RC slabs can carry significantly higher loads in buildings if externally strengthened with CFRP laminates. …”
