ABSTRACT The Carnac alignments in Morbihan (France) are among the most famous Neolithic sites of the world. Paradoxically, they have benefited little from a thorough renewal of archaeological data over the past century. There are many reasons for this, but it is mainly because the site has been regarded more as a monument to visit and protect than as ...

Masonry buildings represent the most widely spread type of structure since the beginning of time until present day. Firstly, stone and wood were used for building, since these materials were easily found in nature, and later elements made out of baked clay, also known as brick. Today, as well as in the past, in the areas of residential, administrative,

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.
