Evolution characteristics of overburden structure in inclined fully mechanized caving under residual coal pillars of the upper layer by LIU Yong, WANG Hongwei, WU Xuesong, TIAN Chengpeng, GUAN Rongfu, NIE Yunxiao, FAN Zhiwei, CAO Peipei

“…The roof structure within the disturbed zone evolved progressively into a composite structure of "low-level inverted step cantilever beams and high-level large masonry beams". When the working face was 15 m from the residual coal pillar, the maximum vertical stress of the pillar reached 46.7 MPa, an increase of 9.9% compared to the pre-mining state, with significant pillar deformation observed. …”

Un service de table en bronze et argent soigneusement rangé dans une cave à Reims/Durocortorum by Michaël Brunet, Fabienne Médard, Magalie Cavé, Stéphane Sindonino

“…The unequal state of conservation of the cellar (presence of intruding modern circulation networks and masonry recovery when the site was abandoned at the end of Antiquity) prevents us from establishing the presence or absence of wall openings. …”

Protección del Patrimonio en Valparaiso (Chile): Proyecto "MAR VASTO" Heritage protection in Valparaiso (Chile): The "Mar Vasto" project by Maurizio Indirli, Minchel Sotero Apablaza

“…Being the city declared patrimony of the humanity by, UNESCO in 2003, the following main outcomes have been achieved: to evaluate the impact of main hazards (earthquake, tsunami, fire, and landslide); to provide a vulnerability analysis for three historical churches San Francisco, Las Hermanas de la Divina Providencia, La Matriz, comprised of various materials (masonry, concrete, wood, and adobe) and located in different city areas); to carry out an architectural and vulnerability analysis for a pilot building stock in the Cerro Cordillera historic area; to suggest guidelines for future urban planning; and to develop a GIS digital data base (well organized, user-friendly and easy to be implemented in the future), providing hazard maps and scenarios. …”

Development and model test of dynamic loading system in mine goaf site for high-speed railway subgrade by Lianwei REN, Liang LI, Ziqiang WANG, Youfeng ZOU, Zhilin DUN, Shuren WANG

“…The triangle abscission layer space acts as an isolation barrier, requiring the transfer of dynamic load downward to the caving fault zone through the tensile zone of the moving boundary of the overlying rock during the initial stage of loading. The masonry beam structure, which first affects the moving boundary, becomes unstable and activated. …”

Le nivellement des aqueducs de Lyon et leurs aménagements de régulation et de ralentissement : analyse et mise en perspective by Laetitia Borau

“…In addition, a decision had to be made about the type of canal to be built, as this would affect the speed of construction and hence the overall cost of the project, but would also affect ease of maintenance: we can therefore distinguish between the simplest cases –slab-covered concrete canals– and conduits with masonry walls and a vaulted roof through which a maintenance man could walk.The objective here is to put into perspective, on the one hand, the means employed to guarantee a constant slope and to control the flows (regulation and maintenance structures), and on the other hand to overcome the obstacles, particularly the steep slopes (with chutes or dropshafts) and to compare them with other aqueducts in the Roman world, mainly in the western part.The examination of the four conduits demonstrated the small number of regulation and/or decantation structures found across the whole of the Lyon hydraulic network, with three exceptions. …”

Chronological Classification of Ancient Mortars Employing Spectroscopy and Spectrometry Techniques: Sagunto (Valencia, Spain) Case by M. Ramacciotti, S. Rubio, G. Gallello, M. Lezzerini, S. Columbu, E. Hernandez, A. Morales-Rubio, A. Pastor, M. de la Guardia

“…REE permitted to ascribe most of the masonries to the Roman Imperial period. Moreover, a statistical model was built by employing partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) in order to classify the mortars from Roman Imperial period and from Islamic period due to the problematic overlapping between these two phases. …”
