• 12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC)

  Scope

  25th anniversary edition

  During the last decades the study and conservation of historical structures has attained high technological and scientific standards. Today’s practice involves the combination of innovative non-destructive inspection technologies, sophisticated monitoring systems and advanced numerical models for structural analysis. More than ever, it is understood that the studies must be performed by interdisciplinary teams integrating wide expertise (engineering, architecture, history, archeology, geophysics, chemistry…). Moreover, the holistic nature of the studies, and the need to encompass and combine the different scales of the problem –the materials, the structures, the building aggregates, and the territory – arenow increasingly acknowledged.  Due to all this, the study of historical structures is still facing very strong challenges that can only be addressed through sound international scientific cooperation.  

  The SAHC International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions has been created as an international, multidisciplinary forum allowing networking and exchange of knowledge on the aforementioned subjects. The last edition of the conference (SAHC2021), celebrated on September 29-30 and October 1, 2021, included the following topics: (1)history of construction and building technology; (2)inspection methods, non-destructive techniques and laboratory testing; (3) numerical modeling and structural analysis; (4) structural health monitoring; (5) repair and strengthening strategies and techniques; (6)conservation of 20th c. architectural heritage; (7) seismic analysis and retrofit; (8) vulnerability and risk analysis; and (9) interdisciplinary projects and case studies.

  This collection includes all the papers presented at SAHC 2021.

• Revista Internacional de Desastres Naturales, Accidentes e Infraestructura Civil

  Scope

  The scope of this publication covers engineering systems that provide support and help in the design of civil infrastructure, and to the natural disasters and accidents caused by human which may affect the infrastructure. The journal emphasizes contributions which address one or more of the areas identified in the title. The term infrastructure refers here to the physical facilities which allow moving or storing products, raw materials, water, solid waste, energy, information or people. This includes bridges, ports, canals, airports, railroads, systems of urban traffic, roads, lifelines, energy transportation, pipelines, dams, water treatment plants, tanks, silos, and others. Emphasis on natural disaster is placed on hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods, drafts, fire, landslides, and others. The journal also deals with man-made accidents, such as design or construction errors, explosions, impacts with vehicles, and others.

  El alcance de esta publicación comprende los sistemas de ingeniería que dan apoyo y sirven para el diseño de la infraestructura civil, y a los desastres naturales y accidentes de origen humano que pueden afectar esa infraestructura. La revista publica contribuciones que se refieran a la conjunción de más de una de las áreas temáticas definidas en el título, o a una de ellas. El término infraestructura civil se usa aquí para designar al conjunto de instalaciones físicas que permiten movilizar o almacenar bienes, materias primas, agua, residuos, energía, información o personas. En general, se incluyen aquí puentes, puertos, canales, aeropuertos, ferrocarriles, sistemas de tránsito urbano, carreteras, líneas de comunicación y energía, tuberías, represas, plantas de tratamiento de aguas, tanques, silos, etc. El énfasis en desastres naturales está en el estudio de acciones de huracanes, tornados, terremotos, inundaciones, sequías, fuego, deslizamientos, y otros. Asimismo la revista publica temas relacionados con accidentes y eventos producidos por causas humanas, incluyendo fallas por diseño o construcción, colisiones con vehículos, explosiones, entre otras.
