This book highlights the applications of data mining technologies in structural dynamic analysis, including structural design, optimization, parameter identification, model updating, damage identification, in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering.
This book presents the preservation principles and the current environmental challenges relating to monitoring heritage sites and buildings under the effects of climate change.
Content of this proceedings discusses emerging trends in structural reliability, safety and disaster management, covering topics like total quality management, risk maintenance and design for reliability.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures DAMAS 2019, 9-10 July 2019, Porto, Portugal.
This book includes keynote presentations, invited speeches, and general session papers presented at the 7th International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics (formerly the International Symposium on Environmental Vibration), held from October 28 to 30, 2016 at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
La presente investigación hace parte de la convocatoria que el Departamento de Investigaciones de la Universidad Piloto de Colombia adelantó el año 2010 y que, con el conjunto de las propuestas presentadas por el Programa de Arquitectura al interior del Grupo de Investigación Practica Urbanoarquitectónica y Teoría Socioeducativa, busca avanzar en diferentes direcciones en el proceso de escrutar las actuales dinámicas que se dan en la conformación de nuestras ciudades y de los territorios que las contienen.
Durante el proceso de elaboración del Proyecto de Restauración de la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Cartago, llevado a cabo por el CITCE de la Universidad del Valle (Centro de Investigación en Territorio, Construcción y Espacio), se realizaron muchos estudios relacionados, tanto con los hechos y sucesos acaecidos a lo largo de la historia del inmueble como con la construcción misma tal como ésta ha llegado hasta nosotros.
This book describes procedures and methodologies used predominantly to obtain a diagnosis of damaged concrete possibly caused by Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR).
Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent years.
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) represent a class of cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking, leading to a high strain prior to failure.
Strain-Hardening Fibre-Reinforced Cement-Based Composites (SHCC) were named after their ability to resist increased tensile force after crack formation, over a significant tensile deformation range.
Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to organize the Sixth International RILEM Symposium on SCC and the Fourth North-American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC, held on Sept 26-29, 2010 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Structures that are essential for economy and security such as energy production, transportation and supply, water supply, buildings, are susceptible to failure, because of defects already present in the material, or created at fabrication, or appearing during service.
The widely acclaimed and beautifully illustrated Understanding Architecture is now revised and expanded in its fourth edition, vividly examining the structure, function, history, and meaning of architecture, from prehistory to the present, in ways that are both accessible and engaging.
Advanced Research and Design Tools for Architectural Heritage: Unforeseen Paths rethinks how to analyse, preserve, and adapt Architectural Heritage and its surroundings along unforeseen paths using a broad spectrum of advanced research and design tools.
Im deutschen Bauwesen zeichnet sich seit längerem die Entwicklung ab, dass technische E- scheidungen in der Planung und Ausführung immer stärker auch zu einer rechtlichen Bewertung führen.
Die große Anzahl der in den letzten Jahren fehlgeschlagenen „Sanierungen“ sowohl an historisch wertvollen Objekten als auch an Bauobjekten, die in den vergangenen 50 – 100 Jahren errichtet wurden, sowie die Veränderungen im Normenwerk geben Anlass, das Kompendium über Bau- nierung zu überarbeiten und zu ergänzen.
Der Bedeutung der Sachverständigentätigkeit – vor allem im gerichtlichen V- fahren – werden sich die Rechtssuchenden und deren Rechtsanwälte immer mehr bewusst.
In den letzten Jahren ist ein eigenes Arbeitsgebiet der Instandsetzungs- und Erhaltungsmaßnahmen von Bauwerken aus Stahlbeton - mit neuen Verfahren und Produkten - entstanden.
