Project: Proposed aesthetic architectural patterns to support damaged buildings and to use demolition products in the reconstruction of war-affected areas in Syria.
Abstract
The long war in Syria has led to the demolition of a large part of the buildings in many Syrian cities, and the other part was damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to think of developing scientific solutions to deal with the large quantities of rubble resulting from this destruction and to benefit from them by offering scientific and practical solutions. The process of recycling rubble is one of the most important solutions in dealing with large quantities of demolition products and re-use of these rubble in the areas to be reconstructed, especially since the Syrian state needs large sums of money for reconstruction and the use of existing demolition products will significantly reduce these costs. This research is the first step on the road to reconstruction, and this will be explained by the goal of the research, which is divided into several Axes The first axis: It will present a scientific method for evaluating buildings in the affected areas and determining the buildings suitable for housing and reconsolidation and restoration by specifying scientific indicators through which the condition of the buildings can be assessed, then using aesthetic forms to support the structural elements, whether it is with metal structures with studied structural shapes and sections or other appropriate methods. The second axis: making use of the large quantities of demolition waste available near the areas to be reconstructed by studying the properties of these ruins and conducting experimental studies to develop elements for concrete or non-concrete buildings so that the developed models are used in the new buildings. The third axis: Conducting an economic study to determine the feasibility of using the developed elements of demolition waste and the amount of savings that can be achieved through field data and a comparison of the amount of costs required by the process of transporting demolition products in the affected areas.

Objectives
- The great destruction that occurred in the infrastructure and urban buildings and the consequent serious thought of how to deal with the buildings affected by the war and how to demolish them and sort their rubble into several types according to the type (concrete blocks, blocks, stones, iron, wood and aluminum) in order to make the most of these materials in the reconstruction phase, neglecting the study, which results in reserving large areas of land to store these materials on the basis that they are not useful and to find ways to dispose of them without benefit. These ruins and use them in the next stage. The recycling process includes separating usable materials (concrete and regular blocks, bricks, wood and iron), where some of these materials can be recycled again for the same use and others can be reconfigured for different uses even though concrete cannot be broken into the basic components of it. (Aggregate and cement), it can be recycled in order to obtain aggregates that were used in the production of concrete with different uses (be one of the raw materials in the cement industry in specific proportions for the production of clinker, or it can be added during grinding clinker with lime, through a process of recycling Remnants of buildings (concrete) can be replaced by part of the natural aggregate = as the use of crushing products of demolition products for concrete elements with natural aggregates (with a certain size) or as an alternative to natural aggregates in the production of the concrete mixture and is considered a solution for the continued use of materials resulting from concrete residues)
