The articles published in this Special Issue are theoretical–experimental and experimental, and also show the practical nature of the research. They are grouped by topic, and the main content of each article is briefly discussed for your convenience. These articles extend the knowledge in the field of non-destructive testing in civil engineering with regard to new and improved non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, their complementary application, and also the analysis of their results—including the use of sophisticated mathematical algorithms and artificial intelligence, as well as the diagnostics of materials, components, structures, entire buildings, and interesting case studies.Technology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscconveyor beltclimatic factorsthermal shocksmechanical propertiesapplied geophysicsurban geophysicsEleftheria SquareERTprobability-based ERT inversion (PERTI) methodGPREMIimpact-echotooth gear impactorcontact durationdelaminationrapid scanningnon-destructive testingconcrete slabbuilding defectsbuilding diagnosisbuilding envelopebuilding inspection systemurgency of repairhistoric buildingsbrick wallsnondestructive testingartificial neural networksNearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB)passive house (PH)heat flux meter (HFM)quantitative infrared thermography (QIRT)building thermal performanceU-valueMediterranean climateelectrical resistivityelectrical impedanceconcretemortarmeasurement accuracyultrasonic elastographyunderground detectionsoil inspectionunderwater acousticsnon-destructive testmonitoringhousingbuildingsfaçadethermal transmittanceHFM methodinfrared thermographysolar loading thermographylock-in thermographypassive thermographythermal thicknessthermal effusivityinfrastructureNDTonsite X-ray bridge inspection950 keV/3.95 MeV X-ray sourcesPC bridgeunfilled groutquantitative evaluation of stage of unfilled groutstep-heating thermographyactive thermographylinear effusivity fitground-penetrating radarsignal featuresmaterial moistureclassificationmachine learningmoisture measurementsbuilding floorscivil engineeringcrack measurementimage processinghigh resolutionworking distancecrack widthvisual inspectionstructure state assessmentground sample distance (GSD)sonic resonant methodimpulse excitation techniqueresonant frequencysteel fiber reinforced concretefiber orientationmicro-computed tomographyultrasoundspectral induced polarizationsmall forceloadinstrumental signaltwo-point bending teststrain gaugecalibration equationTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyHoła Jerzyedt1319567Sadowski ŁukaszedtHoła JerzyothSadowski ŁukaszothBOOK9910595072203321Non-destructive Testing in Civil Engineering3033974UNINA05873nam 22007215 450 991037783510332120230810170030.09783030360405303036040710.1007/978-3-030-36040-5(CKB)4100000010348992(MiAaPQ)EBC6038865(DE-He213)978-3-030-36040-5(PPN)252910702(Perlego)3480364(EXLCZ)99410000001034899220200205d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDiffusion in Franco-German Relations A Different Perspective on a History of Cooperation and Conflict /by Eric Sangar1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (249 pages)Studies in Diplomacy and International Relations,2731-393XIncludes index.9783030360399 3030360393 1 Introduction -- 2 The mainstream narrative of Franco-German relations and the value of 'diffusion' as a complementary analytical framework -- 3 Exporting revolutionary institutions across the Rhine -- 4 Importing 'alien' or 'enlightened' law? Understanding the partial diffusion of the Code Napoléon in the Confederation of the Rhine -- 5 Importing nationalist warfare: Prussia's emulation of the Napoleonic way of war -- 6 Understanding the incomplete emulation of Prussian warfare by the French Army after the Franco-Prussian War -- 7 Learning from the Prussian Schulmeister? German influences on French primary education before and after 1870 -- 8 The 'Germanisation' of local identities in Alsace-Lorraine -- 9 Enabling reconciliation through the recognition of mutual entanglement: The emergence of a Franco-German transnational memory of the First World War -- 10 Understanding the diffusion of West German ordoliberal ideas within the context of the introduction of the European Monetary System -- 11 Conclusion: the added value of studying diffusion in the context of Franco-German relations."Although France and Germany (and the many German states existing before the creation of Germany in 1871) were pitted against each other in several successive wars between 1792 and 1945, they influenced each other's ideas, political structures, and legislation. There were fans of the other country's values on both sides. This study puts key episodes of this exchange inter-cultural exchange under the scientific microscope, drained of blood and passion, picking them apart with the clinical instruments of the social scientist. It is history made accessible to the sociologist and the anthropologist." -Beatrice Heuser, Professor of International Relations at the University of Glasgow, UK This book analyses and compares instances of the diffusion of political norms and ideas in the history of Franco-German relations. While this relationship is often described as a history evolving from enmity over reconciliation to friendship, the book uses the concept of diffusion as a complementary analytical perspective to emphasize how political norms and ideas originating in one society have influenced the other, especially in periods of intergovernmental conflict. Established in International Relations to explain transnational normative change in contemporary contexts, the framework of diffusion is heuristically useful to explore how various types of actors have contributed, using analytically different mechanisms, to normative change across the Rhine. The book presents eight case studies featuring various contents and mechanisms of ideational diffusion taken from three contexts of Franco-German history, including the French Revolution, the Franco-Prussian War, and Franco-German rapprochement after 1945. Arguing that phenomena that are often seen as genuinely 'national' evolutions, such as German nationalism or the French system of primary education, cannot be understood without taking into account the reception and emulation of norms from across the Rhine, the book should help students and scholars to overcome the limits of methodological nationalism when studying bilateral relationships, in the Franco-German context and elsewhere.
