Expert Knowledge-based Inspection Systems

Inspection, Diagnosis, and Repair of the Building Envelope

By: Jorge de Brito,Clara Pereira,José D. Silvestre,Inês Flores-Colen

This book provides a novel approach to building pathology in current buildings. Drawing on the available literature, hands-on experience and fieldwork inspections, it presents a systematic perspective on the pathology of the building envelope. The book addresses natural stone claddings, adhesive ceramic tiling, renders, painted surfaces, External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), architectural concrete surfaces, windows and doors framing, and claddings for pitched and flat roofs. In addition to highlighting selected materials and construction elements, the book proposes a global classification system for defects and their probable causes, together with in situ diagnosis methods and repair techniques. It also identifies the relationships between defects and causes, diagnosis methods and repair techniques, and the interdependence between different defects, presenting these relations in the form of correlation matrices. Support files with detailed information and an inspection form are also provided. Selected case studies are presented to illustrate the value of a guidance system in fieldwork. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide, particularly for researchers, building inspectors, civil engineers, architects and maintenance planners.

If I Close My Eyes Now

By: Edney Silvestre

If I close my eyes now, I can still feel her blood on my fingers. If only I had closed my eyes then, or kept my mouth shut, not told anyone about our discovery by the swimming hole, we could have gone back to dreaming about spaceships. A horrifying discovery by two young boys while playing in a mango plantation marks the end of their childhood. As they finally open their eyes to the adult world, they see a place where storybook heroes don't exist but villains and lies do ...

Polysaccharide Based Hybrid Materials

Metals and Metal Oxides, Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes

By: Carla Vilela,Ricardo João Borges Pinto,Susana Pinto,Paula Marques,Armando Silvestre,Carmen Sofia da Rocha Freire Barros

This brief explores polysaccharides, the most abundant family of naturally occurring polymers, and explains how they have gained considerable attention in recent decades as a source of innovative bio-based materials. The authors present a range of material including an extensive array of polysaccharide hybrid nanomaterials with distinct applications. The most recent knowledge regarding polysaccharide-based hybrid nanomaterials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), carbon nanotubes and graphene is presented as well as the main polysaccharides, namely cellulose, chitin and chitosan, starch and their most relevant derivatives. The book features a description of important production methodologies, properties, and applications of these types of hybrids.

In a select group of the world's cities, life seems to take on an additional dimension. The continual buzzing of crowds, thousands of restaurants, cultural events and an enormous array of leisure offerings fill such cities with an atmosphere of enjoyment and emotion. It is quite possible that São Paulo is the liveliest of them all. There is a proverb that says that it takes longer than one lifetime to get to know São Paulo.
