Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions. Anamnesis, diagnosis, therapy, controls contains the papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC2016, Leuven, Belgium, 13-15 September 2016). The main theme of the book is “Anamnesis, Diagnosis, Therapy, Controls”, which emphasizes the importance of all steps of a restoration process in order to obtain a thorough understanding of the structural behaviour of built cultural heritage. The contributions cover every aspect of the structural analysis of historical constructions, such as material characterization, structural modelling, static and dynamic monitoring, non-destructive techniques for on-site investigation, seismic behaviour, rehabilitation, traditional and innovative repair techniques, and case studies. A special focus has been put on six specific themes: - Innovation and heritage - Preventive conservation - Computational strategies for heritage structures - Sustainable strengthening of masonry with composites - Values and sustainability, and - Subsoil interaction The knowledge, insights and ideas in Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions. Anamnesis, diagnosis, therapy, controls make this book of abstracts and the corresponding, digital full-colour conference proceedings containing the full papers must-have literature for researchers and practitioners involved in the structural analysis of historical constructions.

1913. Millie Proctor’s life is in danger from a murderous aunt who is after her inheritance. When Erica Killick, Millie’s new best friend – despite being born in 1987 – travels back in time to help, she finds herself in danger of being trapped in the past forever. Erica must uncover Aunt Pitball’s plans, protect Millie’s life, save her from a miserable future, oh, and help a ghost trapped on earth find a way to heaven. But what price will she have to pay for saving her friends: the portal has been damaged, and Erica is running out of time. A new voice in young adult publishing, the author delivers a charming story of good versus evil. Packed full of captivating heroines, dastardly villains, snappy dialogue, and with a good slug of physical comedy thrown in for good measure, this novel is a delight.

Analysis of cracks on masonry buildings proves to be quite difficult, and so sometimes expert's scientific knowledge cannot be enough to do so, a vast experience is needed, built on practice gained through field work, phenomenons observation and testing during a long professional career. On this matter, needs to be noticed that the majority of pictures present on this book comes from authors' personal archives, collected during an intense and wide job experience. In practical terms, often it is needed to diagnose, within a very short time, a building dislocation and/or having to find out the causes, in order to find urgent solutions or definitive remedies, all involving a huge amount of responsibility, especially on serious cases where there is not much time and hesitations could be fatal. In this book are shown dislocations and crack patterns actually observed, which would turn surely useful to other experts on the building field. Translator: Maria Vexille PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
