The structure, a school in Teramo, was already affected by previously seismic damages and it has been highly involved by the seismic events abovementioned.
To evaluate the Conventional Strength at a floor level, a mechanical model based on the shear pier behavior described by Turnsek and Cacovic model is proposed in GNDT methodology.
In absence of specific information about the shear strength, the estimated elastic modulus was used to verify the range of variability of masonry mechanical properties proposed by the Italian Building Code for the clay-brick-masonry.
It is worth to note that this value doesn't account the effective level of damage observed in piers, which could affect their shear strength.
By the mechanical model with the abovementioned parameters, the Conventional Strength is evaluated as 0.212 g.

Improvement of physical-mechanical properties and decorative features of such concretes is achieved due to the introduction of additives which have a different nature of influence.
Adsorption of the amorphous form of silica on the surface of the carbonate particles of the chalk leads to surface recharging, which explains the difference of the electro-surface properties of the fine chalk from other carbonate materials.
Given that particles of fine chalk can form additional centers of crystallization, accordingly, there is a change in the quantitative ratio of structure-forming and destructive factors during the synthesis of strength of cement stone and concrete.
In this case, the complex compounds, the formed hydrocarbonates, contribute to the increase of water resistance, frost resistance, sulfate resistance of concrete and, accordingly, leads to improvement of decorative properties.
Based on the above, it was assumed that the addition of highly dispersed organogenic calcite (chalk) to the composition of the calcium is the formation of calcium hydrocarbons and low-basic calcium silicates, which improves the physical and mechanical properties and decorative concrete.

The calculated final yield strength evolution is consistent with experimental results. 1 Introduction Engine performance in aerospace and power generation improves with increasing operation temperature, thus emphasizing the importance of understanding materials with good mechanical properties at high temperatures.
Inconel 718 is a nickel based superalloy, which is widely used in aerospace and gas turbine engine applications because of superior high temperature mechanical properties [2] up to 650°C.
A general approximation for superposition of different weak or strong strengthening mechanisms i was proposed by Ardell [10] to calculate the yield strength increase due to the different strengthening mechanisms with , (7) where M is the Taylor factor for converting shear stress to yield strength (M ~ 2.6) [14]. 4 Results and discussion The formation of γ' precipitates during aging produces the major effect on the final yield strength in 718Plus.

The cutting experimental study was proposed in single-factor method in turning of C45 steel The cutting force is measured by Kislter 9257A dynamometer and Charge Amplifier 5007.

As a result, different seismic design methods have been proposed, mainly focused on the definition of behaviour / seismic force modification factors and capacity design rules [56,60,66–69].
In addition, also specific activities for the experimental evaluation of mechanical properties of cladding boards [84] and connections [85] were carried out.
The project was devoted to the development and demonstration of enhanced prefabricated lightweight CFS skeleton/dry wall constructions with improved thermal, seismic and fire performance, resulting from the inherent thermal, antiseismic and fire spread prevention properties.

During the bridge services, due to long-term loading effects, fatigue effects and material aging, natural disasters, environmental erosion, and traffic accidents and other factors make prestress fall, affect the safety of bridge structures and durability, and further bring to bridge potential safety hazards[2].
Therefore, the prestress is one of the most important security factors for prestressed bridges.
As the effects of various factors on the structure have uncertainty, the loss of prestress can also calculated by probability analysis method [3].
