Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Sixty-four papers from the November 2013 conference investigate the properties of building materials and the response of buildings to stress or change. Six papers from Brno University of Technology evaluate the effect of cement replacement by zeolite or fly ash in concrete, spontaneous drying of alkali-activated slag mortar, concrete fatigue in railroad sleeper cars, and lime mortar enhanced with brick powder or metakaolin. Other topics include a scarf joint for reconstruction of historical structures, classification of steel mine support sections, delamination of laminate plates, monitoring fungus in buildings, and software for optimizing a castle waterproofing retrofit.
