The Construction Countermeasures of Shallow-Buried Small Spacing Tunnel Undercrossing Cultural Relic Buildings: A Case Study

Based on the background of the reconstruction project from Changqing Chenzhuang-Pingyin section of G220 east-deep line in China, a special tunnel structure and construction plan was carried out according to the construction measures of the shallow-buried small spacing tunnel passing underneath cultural relic buildings, and a comprehensive deformation control scheme of “CRD construction method single-arm excavation + surface grouting prereinforcement + advanced large pipe shed presupport” was put forward. The results of numerical simulation and on-site construction monitoring showed that the overall deformation of aqueduct foundation generally increases first, then decreases and increases again, and finally tends to be stable. The effects of surface grouting prereinforcement and advance large pipe shed presupport are obvious. The comprehensive deformation control scheme can ensure the safety of the existing construction and meet the safety prevention and control requirements.

Automatic Representative View Selection of a 3D Cultural Relic Using Depth Variation Entropy and Depth Distribution Entropy

Automatically selecting a set of representative views of a 3D virtual cultural relic is crucial for constructing wisdom museums. There is no consensus regarding the definition of a good view in computer graphics; the same is true of multiple views. View-based methods play an important role in the field of 3D shape retrieval and classification. However, it is still difficult to select views that not only conform to subjective human preferences but also have a good feature description. In this study, we define two novel measures based on information entropy, named depth variation entropy and depth distribution entropy. These measures were used to determine the amount of information about the depth swings and different depth quantities of each view. Firstly, a canonical pose 3D cultural relic was generated using principal component analysis. A set of depth maps obtained by orthographic cameras was then captured on the dense vertices of a geodesic unit-sphere by subdividing the regular unit-octahedron. Afterwards, the two measures were calculated separately on the depth maps gained from the vertices and the results on each one-eighth sphere form a group. The views with maximum entropy of depth variation and depth distribution were selected, and further scattered viewpoints were selected. Finally, the threshold word histogram derived from the vector quantization of salient local descriptors on the selected depth maps represented the 3D cultural relic. The viewpoints obtained by the proposed method coincided with an arbitrary pose of the 3D model. The latter eliminated the steps of manually adjusting the model’s pose and provided acceptable display views for people. In addition, it was verified on several datasets that the proposed method, which uses the Bag-of-Words mechanism and a deep convolution neural network, also has good performance regarding retrieval and classification when dealing with only four views.

Upaya Peningkatan Kesadaran Masyarakat Terhadap Benda Peninggalan Sejarah Lubang Jepang Di Kelurahan Gunung Pangilun Kecamatan Padang Kota Padang

The purpose of community service is to provide knowledge, motivation and increase public awareness about the importance of maintaining historical awareness through the preservation of historical objects in the Japanese hole in Gunung Pangilun Village, North Padang District, Padang City. Methods of Community Service, namely conducting outreach to the community and evaluation consisting of before evaluating the activity, at the time it was carried out and at the end of the activity which was made notes and then recapitulated. The results of this service show that the community increases knowledge and awareness of the importance of historical sites in the area where they live. This encourages the role of the community, protection and preservation of the reserve in preserving history as a cultural relic of the past.

"Re-collecting" Caravan: an Architecturalisation of the New Zealand Cultural Relic

<p><b>“Re-collecting” Caravan re-interprets caravaning as the basis of a 21st century New Zealand vernacular architecture. Two themes run through this thesis: the caravan as an article of nostalgia, and the caravan in architecture as marginal. The final design outcome is a new typology of holidaying vessels within New Zealand’s camping grounds. This thesis begins with the specific history of the caravan within New Zealand and the facts that surround the reality of caravaning in today’s society: the caravan has become a celebrated cultural relic of our recent past of which is now continually used as a symbol or icon of New Zealand. A fear for the loss of the caravan as a living holiday reality sparked a cultural nostalgia and the foundations for this research. To prevent the loss of the adored functional domestic vessel, the caravan was next analysed for its compositional and phenomenal attributes of which could later help inform an architectural response. It was the ‘retro’ aesthetic combined with the fact that ephemeral cultural artefacts (such as the caravan) do not typically ‘belong’ in the architectural realm that bought about the second theme.

Preliminary Investigation and Significance on the Architectural Cultural Value: A Case Study of Ancient Theater Buildings in Shaanxi Central Plain Region

As a witness to the history of development, architecture is an important material symbol for recording history and a precious "immovable" historical and cultural heritage. The ancient theater building of the village not only condenses the artistic style of traditional architecture, but also embodies the regional character and heavy folk culture formed in the historical development of a region, and its value is indescribable. This paper takes the most characteristic ancient theater building in Shaanxi Central Plain Region as an example, and it takes the Zouyue Pavilion as the research object, and innovatively proposes the preliminary investigation method of the cultural relics protection which is equal emphasis on the protection and inheritance of the tangible cultural heritage and the intangible cultural heritage, it adopts the cultural relic exploration, field survey, local chronicles research and other methods, through the excavation of the diversified historical information and cultural value of the Zouyue Pavilion, it provides a cultural relic value and research significance basis for its restoration and protection, and more importantly, the precious cultural, historical and social values that can be presented, thus realizing the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage in a real sense.

Remote Sensing-Based Dynamic Monitoring of Immovable Cultural Relics, from Environmental Factors to the Protected Cultural Site: A Case Study of the Shunji Bridge

This paper explores the ability of remote sensing techniques to monitor immovable cultural relics on multiple scales. The Shunji Bridge, a destroyed cultural relic, located in the Jinjiang River Basin, Fujian Province, China, was studied in terms of the environmental factors at the macroscale and the protected cultural site at the microscale. At the macroscale, moderate spatial resolution images of the Jinjiang River Basin were processed in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to extract environmental factors, such as land cover and vegetation cover. At the microscale, Google Earth time series images were used to extract attribute information to reflect the spatial and temporal changes in the Shunji Bridge before, during and after its destruction. Quantitative assessment of the Shunji Bridge was performed to assess the degree of the impacts that different factors had on the immovable cultural relic. Spatial analysis methods were applied to trace back to the source of the bridge destruction and to track the situation after the bridge was destroyed. The causes of the destruction of the bridge are revealed at both the macro- and microscales. This study provides technical support for the natural disaster risk assessment of immovable cultural relics. The findings of this research can provide suggestions for the protection of immovable cultural relics.
