Eleven peer-reviewed papers provide the latest research and standards development activities to assure the reliable, consistent, and meaningful measurement of heat-air-moisture transport through building materials.
Topics cover the importance and necessity of reliably measured hygrothermal material properties and the individual material properties. Some papers identify the need for improvement in existing standards and others point towards new measurement techniques and corresponding standards.

The document is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of confined masonry construction and its components. It discusses the seismic performance of confined masonry buildings in past earthquakes. Chapter 2 presents general requirements related to confined masonry construction. Chapter 3 outlines a guideline for low-rise non-engineered confined masonry buildings (up to two stories high), which could be built without engineered design performed by qualified engineers or architects, and thus no design calculations or procedures are included. Many single-family dwellings are built in this manner. Additional design procedures and requirements for engineered confined masonry buildings are outlined in Chapter 4. Medium-rise
buildings of this type (up to five stories high) can be designed and built following the
recommendations provided in this document and other relevant national codes and standards.

Synchronization and Triggering: From Fracture to Earthquake Processes
Author: Valerio de Rubeis, Zbigniew Czechowski and Roman Teisseyre | Size: 7,4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2010 | pages: 381 | ISBN: 9783642122996
This monograph contains experimental and theoretical considerations on synchronization and triggering in laboratory fracture experiments and in earthquake processes. Non-linear dynamics and the physics of rotational motions reveal such ordering in geophysical processes and observed time series. Presented experiments with electromagnetic and mechanical forcing show synchronization of the slip instabilities observed as acoustic burst emissions. New observational results, based on a net of broadband seismic stations, indicate the hidden periodicities and multiple coherence effects in the low frequency microseismic oscillations observed tens of hours before the earthquakes. These results are supported by observational evidence on synchronization between shear oscillations and rotation motions in microseismic fields before earthquakes occur.
