Seismic Assessment of a Historical Tower with Advanced Numerical Model Tuned on Ambient Vibration Data D'AMBRISI A1, a, MARIANI V 1,b and MEZZI M 2,c 1 Università di Firenze, Firenze, Italy 2 Università di Perugia, Perugia, Italy a adam@dicos.unifi.it, bvalmariani2@yahoo.it, cm.mezzi@unipg.it Abstract This paper deals with the dynamic characterization and the evaluation of the seismic response of the medieval civic tower of Soncino (Cremona, Italy).
Ambient Vibration Data Historical constructions can not be tested with destructive methods; for this kind of structures the dynamic identification by ambient vibration data is the most appropriate test.
In particular, the stress level has been defined at the most critical sections of the tower: at the base, at the height of 12 m where the constrain effects of the surrounding constructions are negligible, and at the height of 19.1 m in correspondence of the first reduction of thickness of the walls.
In the examined case the dynamic identification tuned on ambient vibration data gave important information about the material properties and the boundary constraints.

The earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE) is a sustainable option that allows the electrical energy consumption reduction in buildings.
Qualitatively, an adequate agreement between the numerical results obtained in the present study and the experimental data from [13, 22], with a similar thermal behavior tendency, can be seen in Fig. 4(a).
However, the experimental data are slightly underestimated by the obtained numerical results.
It should be noted that, as in [14], in the present study the variations in inlet air temperature correspond to data monitored in loco by [13, 22], while in [24] these variations were modeled by periodic functions obtained from these experimental data.

Current codes[2] regulations vertical prestressing vertical normal stress formula superior to the 0.6  reduction factor in  the regulations on the basis of  earlier versions of the bridge.
However, from the field research can be found that at present there are many vertical prestressing Finishing Rolling Rebars less than 0.6 times the reduction factor.
A) Sensor arrangement B) Data acquisition system C) Test of vertical prestressing steel exsertion segment length Fig.3, The photo of vertical prestressing reinforcement tension test In the design drawings , the tension of JL32 :619.2KN,according to , vertical prestress multiplied by 0.6 times safety coefficient, and the tension will need at least 37.152 tons, so 43% can not reach the standard requirement.
Fig.4, The test tension values of vertical prestressed reinforced Though field detection process, there are several major reasons about finishing rolling rebar box-girder webs vertical prestress tension not in place: (1) Manual errors, in addition to the on-site construction in this dissertation the detection method for testing, while also using high-precision displacement meter vertical prestressing finishing rolling rebar elongation, detected through on-site manual, it's quite prevalence that nut is not tightened, resulting in vertical prestress pull reduction.
From the results of literature[4] we can see, if the installation of the anchor plate exist great error, then the angle between the nut and the anchor plate will cause the vertical prestressed reduction. 4 The Conclusion (1) In this paper we derives the vibration characteristic analysis of the exsertion segment of finishing rolling rebar

Reduction of water transport rate is often ensured by insulation or application of modifying additives and admixtures.

Reduction of water transport was just about 50 % for the 0.5% dose of admixture and more than 80 % with the 1% dose of admixture, related to reference mixture.
Reduction of water transport in building materials could improve number of utility properties and increase comfortableness of inner conditions for human life.
Next to extension of lifetime of building materials could improve visual impression of used materials because of reduction of efflorescences which are closely related to water transport.

The obtained Co-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles show good electrocatalytic activity for the H2O2 reduction, and has been applied to detect H2O2.
It can be seen that all the main peaks can be indexed undisputedly as the pure Fe3O4 of spinel structure (space group: Fd-3m), which was in good agreement with the standard data (JCPDS card 19-0629).
The Co-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibits reduction of H2O2 starting around -0.3 V in 0.01M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 7 mM H2O2 (curve b), which may be applied as the quantitative analysis.

In addition, in the laboratory, it can grow in anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions, coupling the oxidation of sulfur (S0) or formate to the reduction of Fe(III) [2,3].
The sparse information that is available has not been linked to genome data, impeding a more detailed understanding of the versatility and dynamics of anaerobic respiration.
Other predicted regulatory targets are: fdhBD, encoding subunits of formate dehydrogenase that is predicted to couple formate oxidation to Fe(III) reduction [2]; hupSL encoding an uptake hydrogenase system in cells grown under N2-fixing (anaerobic) conditions [9]; sreABCE that encodes subunits of a sulfur reductase system involved in the reduction of elemental sulfur with hydrogen as electron donor [10]; glnB, a P2 regulator of nitrogen fixation; adhP (alcohol dehydrogenase) and ldh (lactate dehydrogenase), both implicated in NAD + restoration by fermentation processes.
These predictions support models of anaerobic metabolism in which: pathways could be activated for hydrogen oxidation coupled with sulfur reduction; nitrogen fixation could be regulated; a high affinity terminal oxidase for oxygen could be downregulated; formate oxidation and fermentation pathways could be activated.

The microscopic driving force operating during sintering is the reduction of the excess energy associated to surfaces.
The energy reduction can happen by the reduction of the total area by increasing the average particle size, and/or by substituting solid/vapor interfaces by solid/solid interfaces in the grain boundaries, leading to densification, with concomitant grain growth.
As a result, pore reductions as well as grain growth are promoted.
These results provided very important data regarding the amount of the niobate second phase in the investigated temperatures.
