Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work deals with a specific masonry building and its behavior after the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake. In this study are established a set of different objectives directed to the understanding of the structural behaviour of the San Marco church in L'Aquila under the seismic actions, taking into account its initial conditions, such as the past structural interventions or the quality of the existing material. The knowledge attained form this type of studies is a matter of great interest and importance, in particular for the entities that control the preservation of the built heritage, because it helps to prevents future errors and allows the definition of more efficient intervention strategies, so important for the preservation of this type of buildings in the case of another seismic event. As so, the objectives purposed for this study are the following: · Present the result of a brief historical research, paying special attention to the transformation/structural interventions performed to the church throughout time. Describe in a more detailed way the existent structural interventions and assess its efficiency discussing how they influenced the structural behaviour of the church in particular the damage mechanisms. · General and structural description of the San Marco church. · Assess the present state of damage, through the elaboration intuitive damage maps. · Analyze the activated mechanism on the church and its level of activation, according to the abacus present on the 1st level form ("Scheda per il rilievo del danno ai beni culturali - Chiese"). · Perform the analysis of the collapse mechanisms of chosen structural elements using c-Sisma program. · Correlate the present overall damage state of the church with the pre-existent interventions, the material quality and the activated damage mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Seismic Vulnerability of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings in Barcelona by : Lluis Pellisé Rigol
Download or read book Seismic Vulnerability of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings in Barcelona written by Lluis Pellisé Rigol and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the district of the Eixample started in 1860. During 90 years of construction, the model that gives the characteristic layout to the district was perfected. As a result of this process, the Eixample district is the most representative one of the city of Barcelona. The district of the Eixample is a densely populated area where nearly 70% of its buildings have a structural system that consists of unreinforced masonry bearing walls, a system that have been demonstrated to be structurally vulnerable in case of seismic hazard. In this study, a seismic analysis is performed on a building that represents well the typology found in the district. The selected building corresponds to the ones located at the sides of the square blocks that conform the district. The N2 capacity spectrum method (Fajfar, 2000) recommended by the European Normative Eurocode 8 is used in this study to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of the typical unreinforced masonry buildings of the Eixample district. In this project the pushover or capacity curve is determined by 3Muri, a software working under the FME method (Frame by Macro Elements) which have been developed by the University of Genoa. The seismic hazard is characterized by the demand spectra formulated by the Eurocode 8, the Spanish normative NCSE--‐02 and by demand spectra developed for the city of Barcelona by Irizarry (2004) using probabilistic and deterministic approaches. The results of the analysis indicate that the damage scenarios differ substantially when applying the mentioned demand spectres. The Spanish norm, as well as the Eurocode 8 demand spectra, have been demonstrated to be less demanding than both probabilistic and deterministic approaches developed by Irizarry. The study highlights the non--‐negligible seismic risk of the masonry buildings.

Book Synopsis Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions by : Rafael Aguilar
Download or read book Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions written by Rafael Aguilar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 2536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC) that was held in Cusco, Peru in 2018. It disseminates recent advances in the areas related to the structural analysis of historical and archaeological constructions. The challenges faced in this field show that accuracy and robustness of results rely heavily on an interdisciplinary approach, where different areas of expertise from managers, practitioners, and scientists work together. Bearing this in mind, SAHC 2018 stimulated discussion on the new knowledge developed in the different disciplines involved in analysis, conservation, retrofit, and management of existing constructions. This book is organized according to the following topics: assessment and intervention of archaeological heritage, history of construction and building technology, advances in inspection and NDT, innovations in field and laboratory testing applied to historical construction and heritage, new technologies and techniques, risk and vulnerability assessments of heritage for multiple types of hazards, repair, strengthening, and retrofit of historical structures, numerical modeling and structural analysis, structural health monitoring, durability and sustainability, management and conservation strategies for heritage structures, and interdisciplinary projects and case studies. This volume holds particular interest for all the community interested in the challenging task of preserving existing constructions, enable great opportunities, and also uncover new challenges in the field of structural analysis of historical and archeological constructions.

Book Synopsis Lake Pavin by : Télesphore Sime-Ngando
Download or read book Lake Pavin written by Télesphore Sime-Ngando and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first multidisciplinary scientific work on a deep volcanic maar lake in comparison with other similar temperate lakes. The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology.

This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Download or read book VERSUS: Heritage for Tomorrow written by Correia, Mariana and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vernacular architecture represents a great resource that has considerable potential to define principles for sustainable design and contemporary architecture. This publication is the result of an overall aim to produce a valuable tool for analysis regarding vernacular heritage through different assessments, in order to define principles to consider for sustainable development. This was possible through a comprehensive reflection on the principles established and the strategies to recognise in different world contexts. The present publication was the result of an in-depth approach by 46 authors from 12 countries, concerned with the analysis and critical assessment of vernacular heritage and its sustainable perspective. The book presents 8 chapters addressing operational definitions and synopses advances, regarding the main areas of vernacular heritage contribution to sustainable architecture. It also presents 15 chapters and 53 case studies of vernacular and contemporary approaches in all the 5 continents, regarding urban, architectural, technical and constructive strategies and solutions. VERSUS, HERITAGE FOR TOMORROW: Vernacular Knowledge for Sustainable Architecture is the result of a common effort undertaken by the partners ESG | Escola Superior Gallaecia, Portugal, as Project leader; CRAterre | École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble, France; DIDA | Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy; DICAAR | Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy; and UPV | Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain. This is the final outcome of VerSus, an European project developed from 2012 to 2014, in the framework of the Culture 2007-2013 programme.

Book excerpt: This book investigates the nature of 'public space' in Mediterranean cities, A.D. 284-650, meaning places where it was impossible to avoid meeting people from all parts of society, whether different religious confessions or social groups. 0The first volume considers the architectural form and everyday functions of streets, fora / agorai, market buildings, and shops, including a study of processions and everyday street life. 0The second volume analyses archaeological evidence for the construction, repair, use, and abandonment of these urban spaces, based on standardised principles of phasing and dating. The conclusions provide insights into the urban environment of Constantinople, an assessment of urban institutions and citizenship, and a consideration of the impact of Christianity on civic life at this time.

Book Synopsis The Domestic and the Foreign in Architecture by : Ruth Baumeister
Download or read book The Domestic and the Foreign in Architecture written by Ruth Baumeister and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, across nations, dialogue between the domestic and the foreign has affected and transformed architecture. Today these dialogues have become highly intensified. The Domestic and the Foreign in Architecture examines how these exchanges manifest themselves in contemporary architecture, in terms of its aesthetic potential and its practice, which, in turn, are impacted by broad economic, cultural and political issues. This book traces how diverse cultural encounters inevitably modify conventional categories, standards and codes of architecture, such as domestic identity, its political and economic representations and the negotiations with what is deemed foreign. Theoretical reflections by distinguished scholars are accompanied by interviews with some of the most influential architects practicing today, as well as stunning visual presentations by professional photographers.
