Construction is a sector of the economy that is characterized by a very high variability of execution conditions and a large variety of building structures. In a period of very rapid economic development, this high variability and diversity generates many new scientific problems that must be solved in order to further improve the quality of production, as well as to reduce the cost and time of construction. The purpose of the issue is to present and discuss the results of the latest research in the broad field of construction engineering, particularly concerning: modification of the composition of construction materials using various micro- and nanomaterials, by-products or wastes; modern methods of controlling construction processes; methods of planning and effective management in construction, as well as methods of diagnosing construction objects. The articles published in this issue deal with theoretical, experimental, applied and modeling research conducted worldwide in the above-mentioned scientific areas.Building failuresPreventionBuilding failuresBuilding failuresPrevention.Building failures.690.21Hoła Bożena1368539Hoła AnnaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910674400103321The Latest Scientific Problems Related to the Implementation and Diagnostics of Construction Objects3394400UNINA05209oam 2200709Ma 450 991078151750332120190503073401.00-262-30038-91-283-42077-597866134207700-262-30117-2(CKB)2550000000075152(EBL)3339349(SSID)ssj0000570736(PQKBManifestationID)11404312(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000570736(PQKBWorkID)10611106(PQKB)10886378(StDuBDS)EDZ0000130703(MiAaPQ)EBC3339349(OCoLC)774295502(OCoLC)775992317(OCoLC)817055257(OCoLC)838809753(OCoLC)961493034(OCoLC)962647353(OCoLC)988414873(OCoLC)991996964(OCoLC)1037938404(OCoLC)1038664473(OCoLC)1055369626(OCoLC)1065717253(OCoLC)1081286861(OCoLC-P)774295502(MaCbMITP)8238(Au-PeEL)EBL3339349(CaPaEBR)ebr10520611(CaONFJC)MIL342077(OCoLC)774295502(EXLCZ)99255000000007515220110603d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGurus and oracles the marketing of information /Miklos SarvaryCambridge, Mass.
