This research is an attempt to describe a new biomimetic model for the rehabilitation of social housing. In particular, the constructions built in Europe in the post Second World War period suffer of material and social degradation requiring architectural, functional and structural interventions. The analysis of the state of the art underlined the importance of the envelope in the definition of new performances and standards. Through a bio-mimicry approach, the paper shows the process leading to the definition of a building exoskeleton: a structural envelope able to solve complex sets of problems integrating different building systems. Adaptability results being a fundamental property to define an effective seismic and structural behavior but also to respond to changing user’s needs and environmental conditions. In the last part of the paper, information about feasible technologies and techniques to realize the exoskeleton are presented. Finally, the conclusions show the potentiality of the model if applied in critical contexts where intensive and diffusive interventions of recovery of social housing are needed.

Reactive Powder Concrete can be considered  as a special type of concrete in which the coarse aggregate will be eliminated to get a homogenous microstructure with a maximum density for final result. Many researchers presented a state of the art review on reactive powder's production,  mechanical properties, durability, development and applications. But the review about structural behavior is hardly to found. Because of importance of this type of concrete and its structural applications. This paper focused on review the researchers that deals with structural behavior of reactive powder concrete beams under bending load. Also review the proposed design equations related with reactive concrete behavior.  Before starting a review of strength , stress-strain relation and  ductility are presented because of their importance and effect on structure behavior of beams under bending. According to review of previous studies the type of fibers and its content as volumetric ratio, type of pozalanic materials and its content , amount of longitudinal steel reinforcement  are main factors that affected the flexural behavior of  reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete

The safety of a dam is the result of a series of factors, including structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, operational and environmental aspects. In Brazil, Law No. 12.334 of September 2010 establishes the National Dam Safety Policy, which requires safety reports and monitoring inspections for existing dams. The inspection comprises a set of devices installed on the dam, which are used to assess the structural behavior based on performance parameters of the structure, such as displacements, flows, stresses, slopes and others. Dam auscultation procedures, historically, have been performed since the 1950s. Since then, there have been significant advances in instrumentation and dam auscultation methods. This work presents a theoretical approach on technical and scientific aspects of dams in Brazil, based on a state-of-the-art literature review, involving auscultation of dams in the context of design codes, concepts, instrumentation, safety, procedures and monitoring methods.

Buried steel structures, commonly referred to as buried bridges, culverts, or soil-steel structures are a valuable bridge crossing solution. Owners manage their bridge assets by evaluating their condition and rehabilitating as required. Ontario’s resources for managing and rehabilitating buried steel bridge structures are limited, and an investigation into the maintenance and rehabilitation practice of Ontario’s assets demonstrates a lag in their maintenance and rehabilitation. Knowledge regarding rehabilitation of these structures is dispersed and unconcise, leaving owners challenged to understanding how to best manage and rehabilitate their assets. This paper investigates the age, condition, and rehabilitation of steel buried bridges in Ontario and reviews the commonly encountered deterioration and distress mechanisms along with the state-of-the-art rehabilitation practices. With an understanding of structural behavior, deterioration, and rehabilitation opportunities for structures nearing the end of their service lives, owners will be better equipped to effectively manage their inventory and leverage the economic, social, and environmental value of buried structures.

This study examined the effects of the inside-outside diameter ratio (Di/D0), concrete strength, and inside-outside reinforcement type of steel tube on the structural behavior of concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDT) beams. Towards this end, the failure type, load-deflection relationship, ultimate strength, and displacement ductility were compared and analyzed. The results showed that the maximum load-deflection and failure type are affected by the Di/D0 and the reinforcement method. Furthermore, the higher the Di/D0 was, the lower the restraint stress and maximum load became.
