The article aims to design optimized synergistic structures between additive materials from the category of industrial by-products, by applying experimental modeling, in order to achieve increase of performance parameters for the final products, in line with the needs of the building materials market and challenges to develop lower-carbon alternatives for reducing the climate impacts of the built environment. The experimental applications based on the integration of industrial by-products will results in defining ...

Research conducted in INCD URBAN-INCERC, within the National Network for Seismic Monitoring and Protection of Constructed Heritage, converges towards the development of a large monitoring system, capable to allow remote identification, in a very short time after a seismic event, of possible dangerous changes in the condition of the instrumented buildings. In order to obtain correct information regarding the behavior of a structural system (due to the lack of data needed to create a reliable model), the advantages ...

A study conducted over a longer period of time for an architectural heritage building from masonry is presented. The specific features of the asymmetric structural systems, the normative provisions in Romania, the strengthening works possibilities necessary after the action of severe Vrancea earthquakes for these systems and also of structural analysis using instrumental data processing techniques are considered. The results obtained in three stages- before, during and after the strengthening works, from Fourier s...

The purpose of this paper is to present traditional building concepts from the local seismic culture, with a seismically resilient typology: from timber structures to framed wall structures, timber frame structure with infilling materials etc. The structural shortcomings of masonry structural systems with one or two storey, which were observed at the incidence of intermediate Vrancea earthquake from the past, will be emphasized: some architectural and constructive elements that impose a good/poor behavior and type...

The seismic investigation of buildings is in accordance with two important Romanian Codes, P130/1999 and the seismic design code P100-2013. Criteria for selecting buildings proposed to be seismic investigated/monitored are numerous: seismic zoning of the territory; data on structural system and types of existing structural systems, depending on the material pre and post-1940; the effect of vibration other than from the seismic vibration; location-site; seismic stations and sensors, sensors position/location in a b...
