Bei zahlreichen Wettbewerben uber Stahlbrucken und bei Ausfuhrungen der letzten Jahre tritt deutlich das Bestreben hervor, neben den jahrzehnte lang bevorzugten einteiligen Fachwerken, den Dreieckfachwerken, auch wieder mehrteilige Systeme, im besonderen aber zweiteilige, einzufuhren. Unter diesen sind es vornehmlich die sogenannten Rhombenfachwerke, die wegen ihrer guten asthetischen Wirkung besonders beliebt sind. Den Bestrebungen, diesen Systemen wieder grossere Geltung zu verschaffen, stehen entgegen die Unklar heit uber die statischen Verhaltnisse uberhaupt, sowie die weit verbreitete Meinung uber ein ungunstiges statisches Verhalten, das entweder eine Ver ringerung der Sicherheit bedingt, oder aber zu reichlicher Bemessung fuhrt und damit das System unwirtschaftlich gestaltet. Diese Meinung grundet sich jedoch nur auf sehr grobe Naherungsberechnungen, die ausserdem von ganz falschen Voraussetzungen ausgehen. Die hier noch klaffende grosse Lucke in der Kenntnis des statischen Ver haltens einer wichtigen Bruckenart hat Veranlassung zur vorliegenden Ab handlung gegeben, in der eine genaue statische Untersuchung des Rhomben fachwerks vorgenommen wird. Die Einflusslinien fur samtliche statischen Grossen werden ermittelt und es werden dabei durch Gegenuberstellung der richtigen Werte mit den bisher fur hinreichend genau gehaltenen Zahlen wichtige Erkenntnisse uber die Zuverlassigkeit der ublichen Berechnungs verfahren erlangt.: F'erner lasst sich aus den genauen Ergebnissen leicht er sehen, dass den Rhombenfachwerken ein besonders ungunstiges Rtatisches Verhalten im Vergleich mit anderen Brucken nicht zugeschrieben werden darf. Der Deutsche Stahlbau-Verband hat mich bei der Ermoglichung der Druck legung dieser Abhandlung wirksam unterstutzt. Es ist mir ein Bedurfnis, ihm hierfur an dieser Stelle zu danken.

The book documents the history and morphology of the Ancient City of Aleppo, outlining first the urbanistic development of the city and then focusing on the architectural heritage with specific focus on the domestic architecture, addressing the initiatives to reconstruct and rehabilitate the urban fabric. The author argues in favour of the safeguarding and rehabilitation of the architectural heritage to protect the cultural memory of the inhabitants of Aleppo, despite of the destruction of architecture due to the recent war. Through a capillary documentation of the palimpsest of Aleppo - the peculiar characteristics of its courtyard houses and the neighbourhoods of Bayyada, Bab Quinnesrin and al-Farafra - this is a theoretical and practical handbook for architects, urban planners and restorers alike. Through this analytical discussion of the city's urban fabric, it introduces the concept of the cultural urban landscape acting as a 'cohesive territorial organism', nourished by different cultures, in which contrasting scales of land, city and neighbourhood are interconnected in a fractal state. With a focus on retaining the uniqueness and diversity of this residential typology, which bore witness to the rich cultural history of Syria and the Middle East as a whole, Neglia maps a future reconstruction that focuses on cultural continuity, tradition and the re-establishment of a crucial social memory. Of particular interest and relevance to cultural heritage experts, urban planners architects and designers. Also, to researchers, scholars and students interested in studies on urban morphology and building typology, UNESCO and ICOMOS. Scholars and students interested in the Middle East. Will also be of significant interest to professionals dealing with the implementation of rehabilitation measures in other cities inscribed on the Word Cultural Heritage List, or cities with a sound historic fabric which has been destroyed due to war or other events.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams presents advanced methods and techniques for the analysis of composite and FRP reinforced concrete beams. The title introduces detailed numerical modeling methods and the modeling of the structural behavior of composite beams, including critical interfacial bond-slip behavior. It covers a new family of composite beam elements developed by the authors. Other sections cover nonlinear finite element analysis procedures and the numerical modeling techniques used in commercial finite element software that will be of particular interest to engineers and researchers executing numerical simulations.

Communities have witnessed a fundamental shift in the ways they interact with heritage sites. Much of this change has been driven by the rapid democratization and widespread adoption of enabling technologies. As expediency is embraced in the collection and analysis of data, there may also be a certain amount of intimacy lost with both the tangible and intangible vestiges of the past. Analysis, Conservation, and Restoration of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage is a collection of innovative research on the quantitative methods and digital workflows transforming cultural heritage. There is no contesting the value of advanced non-destructive diagnostic imaging techniques for the analysis of heritage structures and objects. Highlighting topics including 3D modeling, conservation, and digital surveying, this book is ideally designed for conservation and preservation specialists, archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, academicians, and students seeking current research on data-driven, evidence-based decision making to improve intervention outcomes.
