CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS FOR HISTORICAL OBJECT FOUNDATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGING THEIR FUNCTIONAL USE
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 19
Abstract
Properly executed renovation and adaptation of a grade listed property not only ensures its constructional safety, but may also highlight the object’s historical value. Taking into consideration various factors, such as divergence of interests, or technical and legal determinants, it is safe to say that the renovation and adaptation of grade listed properties for new purposes is a complex process. The authors of the paper wish to discuss the problem of renovation based on selected properties, with special regard to constructional solutions for foundations. The presented examples will illustrate the issue of foundation enhancements resulting from the adaptation of buildings for new purposes. Through individual constructional solutions, such as jet grouting, it was possible to ensure the stability of degraded properties and safe transfer of increased values of usage load.

EFFECT OF COCKELE SHELLS ON MORTARS PERFORMANCE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS
This paper studies the use of cockle shell as supplementary cementitious materials SCMs as substitute for cement. The cockle shells generally have a high CaO content which can alter the behavior and the properties of mor...
BIODETERIORATION DUE TO IMPROPER EXPLOITATION OF EXTERNAL FACADES
Unaesthetic stains and deposits often form on external facades (especially those facing the north) in places where barriers were installed on them. Such places include, for example: fragments of facades in which external...
