Conservation and Restoration of Historic Mortars and Masonry Structures
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations and applications in the field of historic mortars and masonry structures conservation and restoration, as presented by international researchers and professionals at the 6th Historic Mortars Conference (HMC), held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on September 21–23, 2022. It covers topics such as characterization of historic mortars and masonry structures—sampling and test methods; historic production, processing and application of mortars, renders and grouts; assessment of historic renders and plasters; conservation and preventing conservation case studies; repair mortars and grouts—requirements and design, compatibility issues, durability and...
International RILEM Conference on Synergising Expertise towards Sustainability and Robustness of Cement-based Materials and Concrete Structures
This book highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in cement-based materials (CBM) and concrete structures, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the International RILEM Conference on synergizing expertise toward sustainability and robustness of CBM and concrete structures (SynerCrete), held in Milos Island, Greece, on June 14-16, 2023. The aim of the conference was to discuss and arouse progress in research, development, and application of CBM and structural concrete through combination of expertise from distinct fields of knowledge, such as performance-based design, 3D modeling for analysis/design, building information modeling, and even ro...
Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete
The State-of-the-Art Report of RILEM Technical Committee 228-MPS on Mechanical properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) summarizes an extensive body of information related to mechanical properties and mechanical behaviour of SCC. Due attention is given to the fact that the composition of SCC varies significantly. A wide range of mechanical properties are considered, including compressive strength, stress-strain relationship, tensile and flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity, shear strength, effect of elevated temperature, such as fire spalling and residual properties after fire, in-situ properties, creep, shrinkage, bond properties and structural behaviour. A chapter on fibre-reinforced SCC is included, as well as a chapter on specialty SCC, such as light-weight SCC, heavy-weight SCC, preplaced aggregate SCC, special fibre reinforced SCC and underwater concrete.
Extending Performance of Concrete Structures
Topics discussed in these papers include developments in materials and methods for repair of existing structures and use in new construction. The themes of the seminar are Materials Development and Practical Applications.
Historic Mortars
This volume focuses on research and practical issues connected with mortars on historic structures. The book is divided into four sections: Characterisation of Historic Mortars, Repair Mortars and Design Issues, Experimental Research into Properties of Repair Mortars, and Assessment and Testing. The papers present the latest work of researchers in their field. The individual contributions were selected from the contributions to the 2nd Historic Mortars Conference, which took place in Prague, September, 22-24, 2010. All papers were reviewed and improved as necessary before publication. This peer review process by the editors resulted in the 34 individual contributions included in here. One extra paper reviewing and summarising State-of-the-Art knowledge covered by this publication was added as a starting and navigational point for the reader. The editors believe that having these papers in print is important and they hope that it will stimulate further research into historic mortars and related subjects.
Naše znanstvenice
Knjiga je zasnovana kot zbirka prispevkov o znanstvenicah, ki so svojo znanstveno disciplino premaknile »korak naprej«. S tem imamo v mislih raziskovalke, profesorice, inovatorke, avtorice pomembnega znanstvenega preboja ali odkritja, patenta, ali pa znanstvenice, ki so v svoje znanstveno področje uvedle novo prakso in metodologijo, ustanovile inštitut oziroma oddelek, ali pa vzpostavile pogoje za razvoj novih znanstvenih disciplin. Profesionalne biografije 27 žensk predstavljenih v tej knjigi odkrijejo veliko več plasti tega kaj ukavrjanje z znanostjo dejansko zaobjema. Znanstveni prispevek žensk je prikazan skozi zgodbe o njihovem delu in življenju, ker profesionalno/javno nikoli ni ločeno od zasebnega/intimnega. Vprašanje kdo raziskuje nikoli ni ločeno od tega kaj oz. kateri predmet raziskuje in kako to počne. Eseji pripovedujejo zgodbo tudi o širšem družbenem prispevku, ki so ga znanstvenice pustile za sabo, ki gre bistveno onkraj ozko razumljenega znanstvenega dela. Tako knjiga želi prispevati tudi spreminjanju razumevanja kaj znanost je, kot proces ustvarjanja vednosti in znanja, kot človeško delo, družbena praksa in poslanstvo.
