Currently, there are several façade systems that exist to enable sustainable building design. The most challenges for façade designers are to identify new technology and effective sustainable systems that enable high structural and sustainable performance while producing a good aesthetic. Therefore, this paper aims to review the performance of existing façade systems and technologies used for sustainable building designs. This review showed that the double skin façade system is the most promising technological solution to improving energy performance and producing sustainable buildings. Furthermore, adaptive façade systems also enhance building performance and occupant comfort through active concepts. However, the lack of design standards, complex design and construction challenges hinder the growth of adaptive façade systems. The review indicates that to produce a sustainable building design, architects, engineers, and builders must consider the sustainable façade system that enables high energy efficiency, less cost, better occupant comfort, and less environmental impacts.

“…Following such a trend, structural masonry, a constructive process characterized by using walls as the main supportive structure for the building, the walls have a double role as structural support and vertical sealing. Therefore, it can contribute to being a constructive model involving further constructive rationalization, structural design and more skilled labor [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…In the present work, it was decided to replace the extrusion step by pressing the ceramic blocks in a methodology similar to that applied to soil-cement blocks, with subsequent firing to characterize the product. Therefore, a new ceramic product replacing the extrusion process by pressing red ceramic blocks such as the process performed with soil-cement bricks was developed [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The pressed blocks are burned later, enabling an improvement in the resistance and durability of those materials, which were denominated as pressed and burned blocks (PBB).…”

In the search for better constructive efficiency and a reduction of the waste of construction materials, several researches have been performed in the last years around the world. Red ceramic blocks are artifacts widely used in civil construction around the world, and they result in a great consumption of raw materials and energy. The great innovation of this research was the development of ceramic blocks through an innovative method of pressing and dosing materials, replacing the traditional stage of extrusion in the manufacture of ceramics. In such a sense, a new manufacturing technology for ceramic blocks was proposed through the pressing process, adapting the soil-cement brick press machine, thus attaining more even pieces with greater compliance to the dimensions and preset geometry. In this work, the physical and mechanical features of the pressed and burned blocks (PBB) are produced in a partnership with Arte Cerâmica Sardinha, a traditional ceramic industry in the region of Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, Brazil. It was sought to set the quality parameters for the blocks, to set their mechanical compressive strength, deformation modules and the Poisson coefficient. The blocks were tested in use by means of three layers of prism and small wall samples, and it was checked the fragile-type failure of the PBB. Results indicate that the blocks can be employed in small-sized construction works, as the characteristic compressive strength to block measured was 3.62 N/mm2 for average water absorption of 20.84%.

“…Stones are ubiquitous all over the world, and most of them have high strength. As a historic building material, its advantages are low cost, easy to obtain, and durable (Siegesmund et al 2011;Hendry et al 2001). The stone building is usually a composite structure composed of stone, cementitious material (mortar), and the back lling material between the walls (Krzan et al 2015).…”

The seismic behavior of the independent type of a stone masonry loess cave (SMLC) is examined. A tri-directional shake table test was employed on 1:4 reduced-scale specimen of SMLC. The specimen represented a typical traditional dwelling of the loess region in China, consisting of unreinforced masonry walls and inner loess, without any seismic treatment. The dynamic parameters directly measured by the test include the acceleration response, displacement response of each key position of the stone masonry loess cave, and the detailed record of the damage form of the structure under each loading. The analysis results indicated that the simpli ed model design method not only satis ed the main similarity relationship of the reduced-scale structure shaking table test, but also achieved excellent test results. Through the calculation results to determine the torsion angle of the node and the deformation between the layers, corresponding strengthening measures could be proposed for the life extension protection of this traditional building. Finally, according to the analysis of the test results, the damage state and damage level of the prototype of the SMLC is established.
