RECLAIMING ABU DHABI\u2019S ROADS AND ROOFS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

On Monday, December 20th, 2021, the winning team of the ASCE@NYUAD Future CITIES Competition organized a research presentation concerning their research project\u00a0Roads\/Roofs: Reclaimed.<\/p>\n

The Team was awarded by DMT, ASCE, and CITIES with a Research Internship to further develop its solution (Roads\/Roofs: Reclaimed) within CITIES during the fall semester of the academic year 2021\/2022. Their research project investigates the effects of making changes to construction materials for road pavements and building rooftop materials in the context of Abu Dhabi by simulating a scene in the city on Ansys software. The project aims to propose concrete steps Abu Dhabi can take to combat rising temperatures.<\/p>\n

During this presentation, the Team gave an overview of their work, presented their findings and recommendations, and proposed future work to expand their ongoing research.<\/p>\n
