The Impact on Urban Air Quality of the COVID-19 Lockdown Periods in 2020: The Case of Nicosia, Cyprus
(MDPI, 2021-10-07)
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the lockdown measures in 2020 on the urban air quality in Nicosia capital city, in Cyprus—an island-country in the East Mediterranean—which
is often affected by ...
Influence of microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) on the properties of polymer modified cementitious repair mortar
(2021-02-20)
Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be directly incorporated into mortars to enhance their thermal performance. In this study, the addition of a commercial microencapsulated PCM in a polymer modified cement ...
Seismic assessment of historic concrete structures: The case of Pedieos Post Office in Nicosia, Cyprus
(2022)
Monuments are buildings in which historical, archaeological and cultural values are displayed, yet their lack of seismic detailing and design renders them dangerous for public use and prone to collapse and permanent loss, ...
State of Conservation of Concrete Heritage Buildings: A European Screening
(MDPI, 2021)
Historic concrete buildings are at risk. Limited knowledge of concrete technology until the 1960s led to more sensitive buildings than modern concrete buildings. In addition, the lack of sensibility regarding their heritage ...
Engineered Cementitious Composites for the Conservation of 20th Century Concrete Architectural Heritage
(2022)
Architectural heritage nowadays includes concrete structures constructed in the 20th century. These buildings are usually under-detailed, since the actual behavior of reinforced concrete at the time of their construction ...
Description of anisotropic material response of wire and arc additively manufactured thin-walled stainless steel elements
(Applied Science Publishers, 2022)
In contrast to conventionally-produced structural steel and stainless steel elements, wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) elements can exhibit a strongly anisotropic material response. To investigate this behaviour, ...
Characterisation of the anisotropic response of wire and arc additively manufactured stainless steel
(Ernst & Sohn GmbH, 2021-09-01)
In contrast to conventional structural steel and stainless steel, wire and arc additively manufac-tured (WAAM) material can exhibit a strongly anisotropic response. To investigate the degree of anisotropy in WAAM ...
