Worldwide, the need for thermal insulation materials used to increase energy performance of buildings and ensure indoor comfort is constantly growing. There are several traditional, well-known frequently on building market, but there a growing trend towards innovative based agro-industrial waste. This paper analyses 10 such obtained by recycling cellulosic and/or animal waste, using standardised testing methods. More precisely, following raw were analysed: cellulose acetate, cigarette filter...
Nowadays, indoor air quality (IAQ) and the energy performance of buildings are two main scientific technical challenges because they in direct connection with human health depletion resources. In this study, we analyzed influence an outdoor flow introduced through a mechanical ventilation system, focusing on aforementioned topics. A standardized rate (25 m3/h/person) led to increase O3 concentration (from 5 μg/m3 50 μg/m3) and, simultaneously, decrease CO2 2000 mg/m3 800 mg/m3), PM2.5 300...
Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the background, current status, and outlook seismic monitoring products services in Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine. These countries manage networks that contribute European Integrated Data Archive node framework Observatories Research Facilities for Seismology, which represents a collaborative effort coordinating observational seismology across region through collection, archiving, dissemination waveform data, metadata, related products....
This case study focuses on twelve compacted clay soil samples to understand their fundamental physical and thermal properties. For each sample, the density, conductivity, diffusivity, specific heat, drying shrinkage were assessed. The identification characterisation of materials also carried out by positioning them into ternary diagram based percentage sand, silt, clay. These properties are definitive for performance characteristics used in rammed earth wall construction. aim is provide...
The seismic instrumentation of structures in order to assess their condition and track it over long periods or after representative events has proven be a topic large interest, under continuous development at international level. hazard Romania poses one the most dangerous threats for country, terms potential physical socio-economic losses. In recent years, taking advantage new scientific technological advances, among which exponential growth computational resources, significant improvements...
The rapid increase of the number newly-erected high-rise buildings in Romania during last two decades brought up importance continuous monitoring their state. For seismic actions, a post-event modification dynamic characteristics building can provide indicator about its potential damage. paper presents methods, procedures and steps by which system providing online remote access to data resulting from vibration could be implemented used for Romania. would allow identification damage, based on...
The experimental technique used to determine the dynamic characteristics of buildings is based on records low intensity oscillations building produced by various natural factors, such as permanent agitation type microseismic motions, city traffic, wind etc. possibility recording these provided latest seismic stations (Geosig and Kinemetrics digital accelerographs). soil a complex form stationary random oscillations. filters excitation, selects increases components disruptive vibrations...
The management of emergency situations generated by natural or man-made disasters is a worldwide critical task for both public and private entities.In Romania, seismic hazard represents one the most dangerous threats, in terms potential physical socio-economic losses.In recent years, taking advantage new technology developments increase computational power, significant improvements have been done risk mitigation, using automatic systems real-time data.There are two main institutions that...
(1) Background: Romanian earthquakes caused severe damage over time to a significant number of constructions, and that is why efforts are being made make structural systems safer. (2) Methods: For with protection against seismic actions or vibrational have linear viscous dissipation devices, the requirement assess equivalent modal damping rate for entire functional assembly related other dynamic parameters arises. (3) Results: This article presents analytical development formulas compound...
Indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption (Q) are well-known building estimators, but they used separately. Energy is during the design stage, while IAQ operation. The novelty of our approach that we propose using both estimators simultaneously operations. purpose this study was to find an adaptive ventilation strategy maintained good indoor with minimal consumption. second consists estimation. While operation systems depends only on carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration at present, novel...
Conservation of historical and vernacular architecture often involves the use traditional materials such as unfired clay, which require precise mechanical characterization for effective preservation strategies. Experimental analysis determining compressive flexural strengths these can be time-consuming costly. To address this, present study aims to streamline process by leveraging artificial neural networks (ANN). Two ANNs were developed trained using experimental data from laboratory tests...
Abstract The purpose of the research: paper is going to present role seismic areas as living labs/natural laboratories for studying behavior buildings and people establishing a relationship between research, training-education knowledge dissemination. results materialized by experiential actions reduce negative impacts disasters are highlighted. Methodology: Engineering learning from earthquakes, based on long-term culture, became continuous activity field observation, since more than...
Abstract The main objective of the National Seismic Network for Constructions, operated by Institute Research and Development in Urban Planning Spatial Territorial “URBAN-INCERC”, is monitoring situations generated earthquakes or other dangerous sources vibrations induced constructions on entire Romanian territory. NIRD URBAN-INCERC seismic records obtained in-situ buildings were are extremely important designers, especially 1977, 1986 1990. It largest network Romania, consisting some 60...
The thorough analytical modelling of seismic actions, the structural system and foundation soil is essential for a proper dynamic analysis building. However, validation used models should be made, whenever possible, with reference to results obtained from experimental investigations, building instrumentation monitoring vibrations generated by various or non-seismic sources. In Romania, permanent instrumentation/monitoring buildings part special follow-up activity, performed in accordance...
