Multi Storied structures are used worldwide and have outstanding advantages in the use of composite materials in structural application. This study heads to an experimental study to reproduce the behavior on a composite joint configuration. Due to the lack of knowledge, during the last few years a lot of studies are based on the semi-rigid composite joints that can provide useful data about the behavior and the resistance of these connections. A number of two tests were performed to obtain a better development of ...

The periodical inspection of areas from closed/in closure process mines is a very difficult and labor-intensive activity. Processing of data , mainly in digital and graphical form, together with written reports can be substantially simplified using simple, available and cheap common purpose GIS/GPS hardware and software tools. The paper deals with a tracking algorithm for monitoring the closed mines area in order to obtain periodic images and maps with the state of facilities. The main achievement is the trans-cal...

Lignite open pit mines have large extent, the excavating and stacking equipment are far one from other, the conveying equipment ale very long, so, the face / mine managers have to record a big amount of data when making daily/weekly/monthly inspections. Also, they are critical inspection points, which are moving with the face's advance. The paper deals with a method and procedure of using smart phones with GPS for taking photos, which are after inspection geo-referenced on the mine plan and on the maps. The author...
