AbstractHow and where do relationships arise that can be rendered diagrammatically? Do they emerge through the process of human reasoning or through the act of drawing on surface? Or do they unfold in the dynamic processes at play in observable reality? The following article argues that the latter is the case, making recourse to the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce. As a case study, it explores Galileo Galilei’s investigation of free-fall motion and examines both printed texts and manuscripts in order to understand how Galilei arrived at his conclusions. While the published diagrams present his results in graphic traditions that date back to the 14th century, Galilei’s handwritten sketches and notes demonstrate the difficult process of hypothesis formation. In these documents we can observe Galilei grappling with adapting the forms of older diagrammatical notation to his experiments. Through close observation of the phenomena in front of him, Galileo tries to comprehend clearly which parameters of motion can be measured and correlated on the inclined plane.

Pictorial Representations

Johannes Gutenberg designed his edition of the Vulgate without illustrations. However, the subsequent evolution of media affected the vernacular appropriation of the Holy Scripture. Vernacular printed Bibles typically featured extensive pictorial representations of the biblical narrative. From an iconographic perspective, this case study examines which types or parts of the images were maintained, transferred but also reconfigured in the woodcuts. In addition, from the perspective of reader-response criticism, it analyzes how the placement of illustrations guides, structures and augments the reading of the Holy Scripture. While the canonical biblical text follows a 14th-century German translation, these illustrations offer new ways of understanding. By looking at the conceptions of Creation, Paradise and Fall of Man in pre-Reformation printed Bibles, this case study examines how religious knowledge changed through these processes of appropriation in the context of a print production which was no longer dominated by clerical but commercial interests. Finally, the findings are compared with Luther’s Bible.

Retrofit Design

For particular change of function, factories are sometimes to be retrofitted into specific buildings with insertion of additional floors. Conventionally, there are two methods in retrofit of factories when additional floor is needed. One is the reconstruction of a secondary structure inside the existing building, while the other is the so called direct construction of additional floor. The latter is preferred on particular occasions due to the simplification of procedure. However, strengthening is still required in this case for the loads induced by extra floor may impose an adverse effect on existing strucutre. In this study, the rubber isolation is introduced into retrofit of factories. Based on case study, its effect in isolating earthquake is evaluated, and relative discussion is also made with energy balance concept. The design procedure of retrofit design of factories with additional floors is discussed in this study, which may provide instruction in applying this technology into engineering practice.

Seismic Forces

The ability of aging shore structures to resist design seismic forces located in high-seismicity regions has been a subject of interest for many researchers. Seismic design codes have become more stringent and suggest the use of new design methods, such as performance-based design. According to the Turkish Code for Shore Structures ( TCSS 2008 ), a pile-wharf structure is expected to withstand a D1 level of ground motion (corresponding to a return period of 72 years) with minor or no damage and a D2 level of ground motion (corresponding to a return period of 475 years) with short-term loss of serviceability. In this study, nonlinear static analyses of the seismic performance of two existing pile-wharf structures were performed (pushover analyses) according to TCSS (2008) . The results are presented here.
