A 2100 m2 (GFA) two-storey rammed earth building was built on the Thurgoona campus of Charles Sturt University in 1999. The building is novel both in the use of materials and equipment for heating and cooling. The climate at Wodonga can be characterised as hot and dry, so the challenge of providing comfortable working conditions with minimal energy consumption is considerable. This paper describes a thermal model of one of the second-storey offices on the west-end of the building. The simulation software, TRNSYS, has been used to predict office temperatures and comparisons are made between these and measurements made over a typical week in summer. Reasonable agreement has been achieved under most conditions. The model has been used to investigate key building parameters and strategies, including night flushing, to improve the thermal comfort in the office.

In 1999, a 2100 m2 (GFA) two-storey rammed earth building was built on the Thurgoona campus of Charles Sturt University. The climate at Thurgoona is considered Mediterranean – hot dry summers and cool winters. The internal and external walls of the building are constructed from 300-mm thick rammed earth (pise) and are load bearing. The thermal performance of the building has been investigated, both experimentally and theoretically over the summer and winter seasons of 2000/1. As part of these investigations heat flux sensors and thermistors were embedded in one of the external walls of a ground floor office, and data from the transducers has been used to determine the heat flow at the internal and external wall surfaces. The simulation software, TRNSYS, has been used to model the thermal performance of the same office. The programme allows the user to calculate the heat flow at the walls, which define any particular thermal zone. A comparison of measured and predicted values of heat flows and air temperatures has been used to validate the model. The model has then been used to simulate the effect of shading and added insulation on the thermal performance of the external walls in both summer and winter and these results are also presented in this paper.

The present work has investigated the evolution of microbands (MBs) and their interaction with strain-induced NbC precipitates during uniaxial compression of a model austenitic Fe-30Ni-Nb steel at 925 °C. The (1 1 0) fibre grains, both without and with copious amounts of precipitates, contained up to large strains crystallographic MBs aligned close to the highly stressed {1 1 1} slip planes having large Schmid factors. The MBs thus maintained their crystallographic character during straining, through continuously rearranging themselves, and did not follow the macroscopically imposed rigid body rotation. During double-pass deformation, fine NbC particles formed at short inter-pass holding remained strongly pinned at small reloading strains and appeared to be dragged by rearranging MB walls. With increasing reloading strain, the fine precipitates became progressively released from the above walls. During reloading after increased holding time, the coarsened particles tended with their increased size to become increasingly detached from the MB walls already at a small strain. The precipitate-free MB wall segments rearranged during straining to maintain their crystallographic alignment, while the detached precipitates followed the sample shape change and rotated towards the compression plane. The MB wall rearrangement generally occurred through cooperative migration of the corresponding dislocation networks.
