Криминалистическая характеристика хищений в сфере строительства представляет собой систематизированное описание криминалистически значимых признаков данной группы преступлений (хищения, совершенного путем мошенничества, а также хищения, совершенного путем присвоения или растраты). Криминалистическая характеристика хищения в строительстве должна состоять из криминалистически значимых элементов, описывающих данную группу преступлений и позволяющих следователю, опираясь на нее, осуществить качественное расследование. Знание следователем содержания криминалистической характеристики конкретного вида или группы преступлений и ее практическое использование позволяют ему в условиях дефицита информации на первоначальном этапе расследования минимизировать риск принятия неверных решений и совершения ошибочных действий. Элементами криминалистической характеристики хищений в строительной сфере являются: 1) сведения о способе хищения в строительстве (включающие в себя сведения о способах подготовки, совершения и сокрытия преступления); 2) сведения о характерных типичных следах (материальных и идеальных) совершенного или совершаемого хищения в строительстве. Знание содержания именно этих элементов следователем на первоначальном этапе расследования хищений в строительной сфере обеспечат верный выбор направления расследования и оперативное проведение следственных действий по обнаружению и изъятию доказательств, сведя к минимуму их возможную утрату. Criminalistic characteristics of theft in the construction sector is a systematic description of criminally significant features of this group of crimes (theft committed by fraud, as well as theft committed by appropriation or embezzlement). Criminalistic characteristics of theft in construction sector should consist of criminally significant elements that describe this group of crimes and allow the investigator, based on it, to carry out a qualitative investigation. The investigator's knowledge of the content of the forensic characteristics of a particular type or group of crimes and its practical use allow him to minimize the risk of making incorrect decisions and committing erroneous actions in the context of a lack of information at the initial stage of the investigation. The elements of criminalistic characteristics of theft in the construction sector are: 1) information about the method of theft in construction (including information about the methods of preparation, Commission and concealment of the crime); 2) information about the characteristic typical traces (material and ideal) of theft committed or committed in construction. Knowledge of the content of these elements by the investigator at the initial stage of the investigation of theft in the construction sector will ensure the correct choice of the direction of investigation and prompt conduct of investigative actions to detect and remove evidence, minimizing their possible loss.

The paper describes the methodology proposed in the PERPETUATE Project (funded by the Seventh Framework Programme – Theme ENV.2009.3.2.1.1). The methodology proposed in PERPETUATE uses a displacement-based approach for the vulnerability evaluation and design of interventions. The use of safety verification in terms of displacement, rather than strength, orients to new strengthening techniques and helps in the comprehension of interaction between structural elements and unmovable artistic assets. The procedure is based on the following fundamental steps: definition of performance limit states, specific for the cultural heritage assets (considering both structural and artistic assets); evaluation of seismic hazard and soil-foundation interactions; construction knowledge (non-destructive testing, material parameters, structural identification); development of structural models for the seismic analysis of masonry structures and artistic assets and design of interventions; application and validation of the methodology to case studies. Two main scales are considered: the seismic risk assessment at territorial scale and at the scale of single historic building or artistic assets. The final aim of the project is to develop European Guidelines for evaluation and mitigation of seismic risk to cultural heritage assets.

Abstract. The furnaces of Salamanca were built during the period in which the British Tobacco Company operated in this area of the Region of Coquimbo in Chile (1960's to 1990's). A semi-industrial model of tobacco production was inserted, in which local farmers received technical training and materials to grow tobacco plants. During a first period the company bought green tobacco leaves, while later encouraging the sale of dried tobacco. This meant that local producers had to build their own furnaces, under the company's technical instructions. These instructions were delivered through architectural plans produced by the company, which were interpreted by local farmers according to their own vernacular construction knowledge. This combination resulted in a huge variety of constructive techniques – primarily based on earth – represented in one only architectural form. A cadastre accomplished by the authors in 2019 registered examples of furnaces built with adobe, quincha, tabique and a combination of several of these building systems. Similar systems also present variations - expressed especially in the use of different earthquake-resistant devices. These attend to variable economic conditions and constructive cultures of the local farmers. This article presents the register of 24 furnace ensambles located in 7 areas of Salamanca, characterized according to their construction type and state of conservation. These entries provide information on the richness of vernacular construction of the area and the efficiency of case-specific building solutions.

Abstract High-rise buildings in big cities are crucial for business, economic, educational, residential, and entertainment activities in recent times. The technology discoveries in various fields that support high-rise building construction such as structure, mechanical, electrical, and materials have opened up opportunities for comfortable and environmentally safe architectural work. The first milestone of high-rise building construction knowledge in Indonesia was the completion of the thirteen-floors Sarinah retail building in 1967. Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, then experienced rapid growth of high-rise buildings construction. However, there is limited research on the development of high-rise building designs in Indonesia, especially from an architectural design perspective. It leads to the lack of literature on high-rise building design in Indonesia. By utilizing a publicly accessible database from the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and recent literature called Designing Tall Building by Mark Sarkisian, this paper explores the design development of high-rise buildings in Jakarta from time to time in the aspects of architecture, structure and sustainability.

Project-based learning offers an engaging instructional method to make learners active constructors of knowledge. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of learning in two project-based learning of construction through model making in architecture using a case study and by designing. Model making is an innovative and time-consuming approach in teaching construction as this approach rely heavily on student-teacher partnership mimicking the studio learning. Learning construction through model making needs students to take an active role and to be ‘in-charge' of their learning and learning process. The study employs a survey to 78 participants of undergraduate architecture students. The results of this study demonstrated architecture students learn construction effectively using the model making method. This project-based learning allows students to have construction knowledge to consider buildability in their architecture design studio. The result can be used to improve teaching and learning of construction in architectural education.

Building construction systems that come in different forms and types need to be properly selected before being use, this may have different impact on overall embodied energy of the building construction. Hence, in order to achieve and maximize the construction contribution, the designer plays a big role in choosing the appropriate energy efficient construction. The designers need to be equipped with the right knowledge and tool which gathers a possible range of embodied energy indicators in order to select energy efficient construction. This paper aims at confirming the Malaysian common construction systems and compares it with the historical literature while it also explore energy efficiency in building construction. It is based on the common construction knowledge and also on the published literatures through a critical review of the possible range of embodied energy indicators and construction systems. The study demonstrated and confirmed that Malaysian common building construction systems can be categorized into six groups: Structural frame, Slab, Internal wall, External Wall, Roof and Staircase. This finding is highly significant for the future design in the area of energy efficiency.
