Il mattone cuneiforme maiolicato. Procedure algoritmico-parametriche digitali come strumento di indagine e progettazione: dall'architettura storica a…

2020

The study focuses on the cuneiform in majolica brick that has been widespread in Sicily since the 16th century for the construction of spires and domes. A unifying element that has constituted a particular identity contribution to the island’s brick tradition; an original solution able to combine aesthetics with structural and durability. On the basis of more than a hundred examined cases, the different geometrical-formal peculiarities detected in relation to the characteristics of the shell are described. Some analyses and checks of the traditional geometrical composition patterns of the wall facade are reported. Through the definition of digital tools of algorithmic-parametric design, new…

Performance of Earth Bricks Supplemented by Nanoparticles and their Application in Architecture

2017

The potential for architecture offered by natural materials in terms of comfort, reduction of embodied energy and energy-saving in the operational phase, dictates in-depth research that might highlight advantages and contribute to improving their characteristics. This research focuses on earth bricks and, in particular, a type of brick made from unfired clay, known as adobe. The aim of the research is to verify improvements in performance of adobe with the aid of nanotechnology. The adobe mixture was prepared with water, soil (from Sicily) and LAPONITE® as a stabilizer. The adobe bricks were subjected to tests of resistance to compression and flexion, resistance to abrasion, capillary absor…

Technical Note: Airborne Sound Insulation of Hollow Brickwork

2007

This paper reports on the uncertainty of in situ measurements of the airborne sound insulation of hollow-brick walls in different housing plans, with emphasis on the influence of expansion joints. The mean and standard deviation of multiple measurements are obtained, which show significant differences in insulation values despite the fact that the same construction was used in each case.

The Role of Electronic Channels in Micro-Sized Brick-and-Mortar Firms

2010

The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of the role of electronic channels in micro-sized brick-and-mortar firms, which are just starting to utilize new channels in the promotion of their goods and services. With the use of a multiple case study method containing ten cases, the study first identifies external and internal factors affecting the adoption and use of e-channels in micro-sized firms. Secondly, the results propose, in line with previous literature, that different e-channel utilization levels can be identified. The paper provides both theoretical and managerial implications. peerReviewed

Experimental investigation on BFRCM confinement of masonry cylinders and comparison with BFRP system

2021

Abstract Fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) materials have started to be employed during the last years with the aim of overcoming the drawbacks related to the use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, proving to be potentially suitable for strengthening masonry structures. Moreover, the will to develop materials able to guarantee a certain degree of sustainability without renouncing to adequate mechanical properties has drawn the attention to the use of basalt fibres, which appear to be a valid alternative to carbon or glass fibres. This work presents an experimental investigation on a basalt FRCM (BFRCM) system to confine circular masonry columns, aimed at evaluating the…

La scoperta, sistemazione e conservazione della grande Iscrizione di Gortina, nell'isola di Creta (1884-1921): la protezione delle testimonianze e le…

2013

La scoperta e la conservazione della Grande Iscrizione di Gortina a Creta, da parte degli studiosi italiani, fra la fine del XIX sec. e i primi decenni del XX sec., rappresentò un grande riconoscimento scientifico-culturale per la giovane nazione italiana. Nel passato, l’isola di Creta era stata legata alla Repubblica di Venezia e anche questo rapporto favorì l’invio a Creta del giovane epigrafista F. Halbherr, il quale fra notevoli peripezie rinvenne, assieme all’epigrafista tedesco E. Fabricius, la famosa l’iscrizione nell’antica città di Gortina. L’iscrizione, fra le più antiche e complete finora conosciute in tutta Europa, conteneva le norme sulla famiglia, l’eredità e in generale i dir…

The discovery and preservation of the Great Inscription of Gortyna in Crete by Italian researchers in the late nineteenth century. and the first decades of the twentieth century. was an important cultural and scientific recognition for the young Italian nation. In the past the island of Crete had been tied to the Republic of Venice and this report also favored sending in Crete the young epigraphist F. Halbherr who among considerable vicissitudes came to together to the epigraphist german E. Fabricius the inclusion of the famous ancient city of Gortyna. The inscription among the oldest and most comprehensive so far known throughout Europe the rules contained on the family's legacy in general and the rights and duties of some of the people of the Minoan civilization (480-450 BC). The inscription was carved on blocks organic limestone a restored ancient building which later in Roman times was turned into odeon. The Laws of Gortyn were engraved on the remains of the wall forming the passageway in front of the steps of the odeon. The essay traces the events that led to the discovery and subsequent storage made by Halbherr especially with the help of archaeologist L. Pernier and finally with the help of architect E. Stefani who designed a modern cover on the top of the ambulatory of the segments containing the inscription. This coverage was made to perform during the First World War on the basis of the Italian project from the Greek Government in order to protect the membership from possible war damage but especially from vandalism. The roof brick clay of the Laws of Gortyna still serves its function and ensures the use of the monument bearing witness to the preservation of Italian culture in Greece and more generally in the world. But in Sicily in the remains of the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina (Enna) its elegant protection (built in 1957) is representative of a whole period of culture of the Italian restoration is removed and replaced because it has not been able to make a ongoing maintenance is due. A bad example of conservation and management of a UNESCO monument from which arise after the work for the construction of new roofs an equally insulting to the archaeological heritage and scenic Italian and world.Settore ICAR/19 - Restauro

En contexte ou hors contexte : lecture des matériaux et lecture du bâti

2020

Le choix des matériaux occupe une place importante dans l’élaboration du projet architectural, et détermine des orientations essentielles pour le chantier, dans la réalisation de celui-ci, son organisation, voire sa progression. Loin de se résumer à un simple descripteur ou accessoire de la stratigraphie du bâtiment, les matériaux de construction sont avant tout le reflet d’une réalité complexe du chantier à la fois matérielle et immatérielle : projet, exigences et capacité financière du commanditaire, réseaux d’échange, environnement sollicité. Leur prise en compte dans l’analyse du bâti transcende la logique stratigraphique, en épaulant celle-ci là où elle fait défaut et en replaçant la r…

La distribución de cerámica y materiales de construcción en España

2007

La caracterización de las empresas de un sector es esencial para com- prender la situación de la distribución comercial y analizar su evolución. En el presente trabajo abordamos el estudio de los distribuidores de material cerámico y de construcción en España a partir de fuentes de información primaria y secundaria. La lectura conjunta de los resultados obtenidos a par- tir de ambas fuentes de datos permite realizar una primera aproximación a la situación de un sector que ha experimentado un extraordinario crecimiento en los últimos años. Characterization of firms in a sector is essential to understand the situation of commercial distribution and monitor developments. In this paper we study…

Fontaines (Saône-et-Loire). Place de l’Église [notice archéologique]

2019

Le village actuel de Fontaines, situé à environ 8 km au N.-O. de Chalon-sur-Saône, se développe sur 1,5 km de long selon un unique axe E-O, depuis la montagne Saint-Hilaire à l’ouest, occupée au Néolithique puis durant l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, jusqu’à l’église paroissiale Saint-Just, à l’est. Malgré une emprise limitée et contrainte par de nombreux réseaux existants, l’opération a permis de documenter l’environnement immédiat de l’église, occupé depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours.
