Abstract This study, presented in a pair of articles, defines comprehensive methodological approach to the reconstruction traditional masonry-timber mansion building constructed 1880s Turkish house typology on Istanbul’s historical peninsula area that was intentionally demolished 1948. A process research carried out first stage after which ground penetration radar measurements and an archeologi...

A chattram, also called choultry, primarily refers to a wayside inn or resthouse for travelers, mostly pilgrims. They may halt here meal few hours even days weeks. Such chattrams were built almost throughout India by many kings and queens, ministers merchants. Although there are copious references such in ancient medieval literature inscriptions, actual specimens of limited number. Many them ap...

building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

Abstract Many wooden Chinese historic buildings are destroyed due to the ravages of frequent fire disasters. The risk highly enlarged since a long-time weathered structures in natural environment. clean fire-extinguishing technology using fluorinated chemical gases put out building rapidly at initial stage is recommended and widely used. However, gaseous hydrogen fluoride (HF) yielded during su...

response modification factor (r-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. the present paper tries to evaluate the r-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (cbfs) and special moment frames (mrfs) in ...

An evaluation using the liquefaction potential index (LPI) was still applicable to site conditions in Central Sulawesi 2018’s earthquake with Mw 7.5. In some areas, severe occurred and destroyed many buildings. This study conducted determine depth of layer any soil that may cause damage land. is intended obtain guidance select an area for housing, especially low-budget housing. The possibility ...

The current generation of space borne high resolution SAR sensors provides high spatial resolution as well as interferometric data within short time frames. This makes such data attractive for 3D information extraction. Especially, the operational configuration of TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X opens up new perspectives for this kind of applications. Despite of this, the interferometric phases still s...

High resolution remotely sensed images provide current, detailed, and accurate information for large areas of the earth surface which can be used for change detection analyses. Conventional methods of image processing permit detection of changes by comparing remotely sensed multitemporal images. However, for performing a successful analysis it is desirable to take images from the same sensor wh...

We propose a novel approach for the temporal interpolation of city maps. The input to our algorithm is a sparse set of historical city maps plus optional additional knowledge about construction or destruction events. The output is a fast forward animation of the city map development where roads and buildings are constructed and destroyed over time in order to match the sparse historical facts a...

A multi-hazard, multi-vulnerability impact model has been developed for application to European volcanoes that could significantly damage human settlements. This impact model is based on volcanological analyses of the potential hazards and hazard intensities coupled with engineering analyses of the vulnerability to these hazards of residential buildings in four European locations threatened by ...
