On one hand, significant improvement was found in hope, coping and resiliency, prosocial behaviours, self-esteem, impairment, emotional and behavioural problems (especially aggressive behaviours), construction of meaning and PTSD scores.
The major part is devoted to presentation of modelling of the structure behaviour during construction and under dead loads, shrinkage and temperature.
In this study, infrared drying behaviour of construction gypsum plaster samples was investigated.
In Europe, the burning behaviour of construction products must be tested and labelled according to their Euroclass, based on their fire performance in a range of tests.
This paper analyses the strength and stress strain behaviour of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) to obtain parameters for pavement design, using large cylindrical specimens (25 × 50 cm).
New approaches to investigate the hydrological behaviour of construction site are presented and have significant implications for the ability of stormwater flow to carry sediment.
Numerical modelling predictions of lining system behaviour during construction are comparable with the measurements when the geosynthetics are covered soon after placement, however, where the geosynthetics are left exposed to the sun for an extended period of time, in situ behaviour of the geosynthetics cannot be replicated by the numerical analysis.
It is considered that the interventions will change the behaviour of construction workers towards working with ergonomic measures.
In order to minimize the loss, an innovative method is proposed and incorporated in finite element analysis to predict the structural behaviours before construction.
Within the civil engineering field, the use of the Finite Element Method has acquired a significant importance, since numerical simulations have been employed in a broad field, which encloses the design, analysis and prediction of the structural behaviour of constructions and infrastructures.
