This book presents a design research on the basalt fiber, a natural mineral material with important characteristics, and investigates the material's properties, production techniques, and most common uses, while also delving into aspects yet to be improved. The work presents a part of original research in between art and design, in which concepts, prototypes, and ideas are proposed, aimed at the enhancement of basalt fiber also from an esthetic point of view and not only from a performance one. By working on its perceived qualities and creative and formal potential, it is possible to support and extend the use of this material in many areas of design, including product, exhibit, cultural industries, and fashion. Considering that environmental regulations are increasingly stringent, the use of basalt fiber may in some cases be more advantageous than other popular technical fibers, both because of its own performance characteristics and specifically because of its inherent sustainability.

This book provides the most up-to-date, advanced methods and tools for risk assessment of onshore pipelines. These methods and tools are based primarily on information collected from ILI measurements and additional information about the soil surrounding the pipeline. The book provides a better understanding how the defects grow and interact (repulsion or attraction) and their spatial variability. In addition, the authors contemplate new defects that evolve between inspections and how they could affect the pipeline's reliability. A real-world case is presented to reinforce the concepts presented in the book. The book is structured into three parts: i) an introduction to onshore pipelines and the problem of corrosion, ii) a framework that deals with uncertainty for integrity programs for corroded pipelines, and iii) the applications of the methods presented in the book. The book is ideal for researchers and field engineers in oil and gas transportation and graduate and undergraduate engineering students interested in pipeline reliability assessments, spatial variability, and risk-based inspections.

This textbook aimed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students who need to describe the large deformation of elastic materials like soft plastics, rubber, and biological materials.  The classical approaches to finite deformations of elastic materials describe a dozen or more measures of stress and strain.  These classical approaches require an in-depth knowledge of tensor analysis and provide little instruction as to how to relate the derived equations to the materials to be described.  This text, by contrast, introduces only one strain measure and one stress measure.  No tensor analysis is required.  The theory is applied by showing how to measure material properties and to perform computer simulations for both isotropic and anisotropic materials.  The theory can be covered in one chapter for students familiar with Euler-Lagrange techniques, but is also introduced more slowly in several chapters for students not familiar with these techniques.  The connection to linear elasticity is provided along with a comparison of this approach to classical elasticity.

In diesem Buch wird eine thermoplastische und hochorientierte kurzglasfaserverstärkte Prüfplatte konzeptioniert und vorgestellt. Ebenso wird der Einfluss der fräsinduzierten Oberflächenrauigkeit auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften während der Probenpräparation umfassend beleuchtet. Bisher existieren keine adäquaten Methoden zur Herstellung von spritzgegossenen Prüfplatten mit hoher und homogener Faserorientierung, die eine hinreichende Breite besitzen, um Proben in beliebigem Extraktionswinkel für die mechanische Prüfung herzustellen. Eine solche hochorientierte Prüfplatte wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit konzeptioniert und in einem Spritzgusswerkzeug realisiert. Mikrocomputertomographische Analysen der neuartigen Prüfplatte zeigen einen Faserorientierungsgrad von durchschnittlich 85.1 %. Um ein detailliertes Verständnis der Einflussfaktoren der Probenpräparation auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften zu gewinnen, werden Probekörper mit unterschiedlichen Fräsparametersätzen aus diesenhochorientierten Prüfplatten heraus gefräst. Es resultieren unterschiedliche Oberflächenrauigkeiten. Die Proben mit verschiedenen Faserorientierungen werden unter einachsiger Zugbelastung bei 23 °C (Raumtemperatur) und -10 °C untersucht. Für beide Temperaturen zeigt die systematische Analyse keinen signifikanten Einfluss der Oberflächenrauigkeit auf die mechanischen Kennwerte.

Most of the embodied energy can be saved in the load-bearing structure! Conceptual Design of Structures is working at the interface between structural engineering, architecture, and art. The book seeks to answer the complex question of what needs to be considered when conceiving a building structure. What influences the process of conceptual thinking? How do space and structure interact? In what ways do architects and engineers work together? The book thus sheds light on the topic of multidisciplinary interrelationships in design, showing numerous different perspectives. Renowned practitioners and researchers from architecture and engineering share their insights, as do artists and historians who cross the disciplinary boundaries. Furthermore, this book also provides an outlook on possible future developments and aspects of sustainable design and construction.

After its careful renovation by David Chipperfield Architects, the ballroom Hasenheide 13 will serve as an exhibition venue for the Sammlung Wemhöner from 2025 onwards. Reason enough to review the eventful and lively history of the place in order to respectfully continue its history as a meeting place: a history that already began before the construction of the ballroom at the end of the nineteenth century, and in a certain way also exemplarily reflects the development of Berlin over the past 150 years. This publication invites you to follow Lothar Uebel's research and embark on a voyage of discovery that tells of fascinating episodes of an institution that deserves to continue to be a witness to Berlin's constantly changing face. Monograph on a famous Berlin ballroom soon to be remodeled by David Chipperfield Architects and turned into an arts venue Extensive historic images, contemporary book design

Wie kann Stadtplanung im Sinne der Bauwende das Bestehende weiterdenken, statt fortwährend nach Neuem zu fragen? Welche Planungskulturen braucht eine offene Gesellschaft? Welche Schnittstellen fehlen zwischen der Verwaltung und den Handelnden vor Ort? Perspektivischer Ausgangspunkt für die Bearbeitung dieser Fragen ist Mannheim-Käfertal - ein Stadtteil, der aufgrund der Konversion ehemaliger Militärflächen gegenwärtig einer außergewöhnlich dynamischen Transformation unterliegt. In einem experimentellen Prozess arbeiten hier unterschiedliche Akteur*innen wie etwa eine evangelische und eine katholische Gemeinde, ein Sportverein und Nachbarschaftsgruppen gemeinsam mit der Stadtverwaltung daran, ein soziales und grünes Zentrum zu schaffen, das Alt und Neu verbindet. Zwischen institutionsübergreifenden Verhandlungen, Stadtentwicklung, dem Schaffen von Öffentlichkeit und Interventionen im Maßstab 1:1 entsteht eine kooperative Methodik zum Umgang mit baulichen Beständen. Piazza Spinelli zeigt auf, wie sich komplexe städtische Situationen lokal verankert weiterdenken und -entwickeln lassen.

Der 1898 gebaute Kornversuchsspeicher war zunächst ein konzeptionell ambitioniertes Experimental- und Musterbauwerk für die Lagerung von Getreide zur Versorgung der Millionenstadt Berlin. Nach verschiedenen Zwischennutzungen durch Speditionen und nach Leerstand ist der denkmalgeschützte Speicher seit 2023 nun eine Attraktion im Entwicklungsgebiet Europacity gegenüber des Berliner Hauptbahnhofs: Der spektakuläre Umbau von AFF Architekten, prämiert mit dem "Architekturpreis Beton", öffnet die Industriearchitektur für eine Mischnutzung aus Büros, Galerie und Gastronomie.Der Berliner Fotograf Harf Zimmermann, Mitbegründer der international bekannten Agentur Ostkreuz, hat das Umbauprojekt über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren mit seiner analogen Großformatkamera begleitet. Die von ihm prägnant dokumentierten Bauzustände lassen die Baustelle mal wie eine archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte erscheinen, dann wieder wie einen kompletten Neubau. Der Fotoessay wird von einem aufwendig recherchierten, reich bebilderten Essay von Hans Georg Hiller von Gaertringen zur Geschichte des Baus begleitet.

This book introduces a maintenance model that will assist decision-makers in their choice of building maintenance policies. The model is stochastic and condition-based that analyses the impact of different maintenance strategies on the durability and performance of different buildings envelope elements (facades, windows, and roofs).  As non-structural elements, the maintenance of buildings envelope can be disregarded stakeholders. However, as first barrier to the external environment, these elements are critical to buildings' overall performance and are expected to meet aesthetic, comfort, safety, and durability requirements. The methodology presented is innovative. The maintenance model is based on a Petri net formalism and includes degradation, inspection, maintenance, and renewal processes. The model provides key information, such as: i) the impact of different maintenance strategies on the service life and durability of the building components; ii) the impact of maintenance on their performance over time; iii) the life cycle costs; and iv) the impact of maintenance on the buildings' use.  The book will be of use to a variety of professionals in the construction sector.

The book presents formulations and examples of three-dimensional non-axisymmetric stability in viscoelastic anisotropic cylindrical shells. The most critical stability loss modes are determined by minimizing the critical loads and critical times with respect to the number of half-waves in radial as well as transverse directions.Currently, there is no literature available on three-dimensional local buckling analysis (or localized warpage) that considers non-axisymmetric stability loss in viscoelastic cylindrical shells. The contents of this book provide the formulation for such a stability loss analysis through the framework of the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability. Additionally, as this book addresses the problem by modeling the material as a viscoelastic fibrous composite, it can be applied to carry out buckling analysis in both elastic and viscoelastic cases.Guide to modelling composite viscoelastic shell elements for buckling analysisProvides a framework for defining the failure criterion for viscoelastic materialsCourse material for teaching shell buckling and viscoelastic composites
