What do Old Newspapers Hide?

The article is devoted to the informative possibilities of the Russian newspaper “St. Petersburg Vedomosti” for XIII century from point of view of natural disasters. “St. Petersburg Vedomosti” proved to be a valuable source of information for historical seismicity of not only Russia, but also other countries, including Italy. It not only contains the strong Italian earthquakes not recorded in existing catalogs, but from its publications it became possible to identify one of the key seismic activations in Italy relevant to the events 2016–2017. The analysis of seismic regime allows suggesting the long-term seismic sources in the regions of Norcia, Foggia and Irpinia, what deserve the special study. Interesting data are received on the volcanic events of 1751 in the Savoy Alps, which can serve as a warning when assessing the natural risks of this territory. It may suggest that a special type of explosive eruptions may occur in the Alps, though not accompanied by outpourings of lava, nevertheless constituting a great danger.

Iris Publishers - Open Access Journal of Civil Engineering Structure, Building Envelop and Form integration in Architecture Contemporary Architecture is witnessing a significant transformation, because of developments in technology that is releasing architects from the use of static forms and historical construction methods, to the use of more dynamic forms that integrate elements of structure, building envelop and form in designs. This paper briefly examines developments in architecture over time, in order to situate and discuss the current emerging trend of integration. The article starts from exploring the history of architecture and the form of buildings in the different eras. It then moves on to discuss the contemporary trend in building form, structure and envelope integration, exploring some of the factors that are drive the trend and discussion of implication for the form of future architecture.

Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials | Osama K Adwan

Osama K Adwan |  Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials Research Article A common concern amongst civil engineers is producing a good quality concrete on-site. This paper reports results of a study carried out to examine the quality of normal strength concrete production in the southern region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) made from local coarse aggregate namely Basalt. As all data were analyzed and examined statistically using Chebyshev’s theorem and the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method presented herein. It is concluded that, the normal distribution of all test results -in terms of the quality of concrete mix- was strongly agree with Chebyshev’s theorem and ACI 318-14 section 5.6.3. In addition, these results were considerably better than the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method. Overall, these concrete mixes, in this investigation, with 28 days compressive strength of 35 MPa can be used confidently in concr...
