Although Red Brick performance depends primarily on the logical database design, the placement and allocation of data files in the disk subsystem is another significant performance factor. There are many choices in the configuration and design of the physical database layout. This article reviews best practices propagated by storage and database vendors and presents measurements that compare st...

Solid burnt brick sized 290 × 140 × 65 mm or 303 × 145 × 70 mm respectively, represents one of most widespread brick building material, both structural and nonbearing ones, in Czech historical buildings. During their rebuilding and reconstruction, we frequently ask for brickwork material strength. Most exact method is to take test samples just from the construction and put them to trial neverth...

an experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. the first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. the second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. the last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. these three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. di...

This article describes a volumetric approach for procedural shape modeling and new Procedural Shape Modeling Language (PSML) that facilitates the specification of these models. PSML provides programmers ability to describe shapes in terms their 3D elements where each element may be semantic group objects, e.g., brick wall, or an indivisible object, individual brick. this manner creation models ...
