An accurate assessment of the service life of buildings requires a thorough understanding of the degradation mechanisms and behaviour of the construction materials. Building pathology assessment methods characterize the deterioration state of buildings, using specific measurable properties as indicators. Based on this information, different service life prediction methodologies can be defined to provide reliable data concerning the most probable failure time of whole buildings and individual components according to their characteristics and their age. This Special Issue provides new perspectives on the existing knowledge related with various aspects of the Assessment, Diagnosis and Service Life Prediction of buildings and their components. The ten original research studies published in this Special Issue result from research centres and university departments of Civil and Construction Engineering, Safety Management, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and Architecture and the Built Environment, with relevant contributions from experts from Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Iran, Israel, Norway, Portugal, and Taiwan. The studies included in this Special Issue address topics related to: Building pathology assessment methods; Diagnosis of defects in buildings and components; Appropriate intervention and repair techniques; Deterministic and stochastic service life prediction models.BuildingsEnvironmental engineeringSustainable buildingsBuildingsEnvironmental engineering.Sustainable buildings.696Silva AnaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910647242103321Assessment, Diagnosis and Service Life Prediction3016393UNINA03329nam 2200721 450 991080909570332120230803201222.03-11-037684-93-11-035261-310.1515/9783110352610(CKB)3390000000062041(EBL)1597571(OCoLC)914329084(SSID)ssj0001457673(PQKBManifestationID)12631164(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001457673(PQKBWorkID)11443622(PQKB)11157031(MiAaPQ)EBC1597571(DE-B1597)324075(OCoLC)979583501(DE-B1597)9783110352610(Au-PeEL)EBL1597571(CaPaEBR)ebr11084320(CaONFJC)MIL814708(EXLCZ)99339000000006204120140516h20142014 uy| 0engur|nu---|u||utxtccrZone morality /David WeissmanBerlin ;Boston :De Gruyter,[2014]©20141 online resource (130 p.)Categories ;5Description based upon print version of record.3-11-035192-7 Includes bibliographical references (pages 127-128) and index.Front matter --Acknowledgements --Contents --Introduction --1 Morality and Metaphysics --2 Character --3 Moral experience --4 Regulation --5 Politics --6 Justification --Bibliography --Name indexTraditional moral theory usually has either of two emphases: virtuous moral character or principles for distributing duties and goods. Zone Morality introduces a third focus: families and businesses are systems created by the causal reciprocities of their members. These relations embody the duties and permissions of a system's moral code. Core systems satisfy basic interests and needs; we move easily among them hardly noticing that moral demands vary from system to system. Moral conflicts arise because of discord within or among systems but also because morality has three competing sites: self-assertive, self-regarding people; the moral codes of systems; and regulative principles that enhance social cohesion. Each wants authority to control the other two. Their struggles make governance fragile. A strong church or authoritarian government reduces conflict by imposing its rules, but democracy resists that solution. Procedural democracy is a default position. Its laws and equitable procedures defend people or systems having diverse interests when society fails to create a public that would govern for the common interest.Categories ;5.Reciprocity (Psychology)Interpersonal relationsValuesMoral Codes.Morality.Social Cohesion.Zones.Reciprocity (Psychology)Interpersonal relations.Values.303.3/72CC 7260rvkWeissman David1936-863071MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809095703321Zone morality4055963UNINA
