This book presents a selection of the best papers from the HEaRT 2013 conference, held in Cosenza, Italy, which provided a valuable forum for engineers and architects, researchers and educators to exchange views and findings concerning the technological history, construction features and seismic behavior of historical timber-framed walls in the Mediterranean countries. The topics covered are wide ranging and include historical aspects and examples of the use of timber-framed construction systems in response to earthquakes, such as the gaiola system in Portugal and the Bourbon system in southern Italy; interpretation of the response of timber-framed walls to seismic actions based on calculations and experimental tests; assessment of the effectiveness of repair and strengthening techniques, e.g., using aramid fiber wires or sheets; and modelling analyses. In addition, on the basis of case studies, a methodology is presented that is applicable to diagnosis, strengthening and improvement of seismic performance and is compatible with modern theoretical principles and conservation criteria. It is hoped that, by contributing to the knowledge of this construction technique, the book will help to promote conservation of this important component of Europe’s architectural heritage.

Like tying a Windsor knot or brewing a perfect cup of coffee, knowing how to hang art on your wall is a hallmark of everyday style and nuts-and-bolts know-how. The where, what, and whys of hanging art are an overlooked, under-appreciated line of inquiry. Most of us simply wing it with a quick eyeball and a swing of the hammer. How hard can it be? we think. What can go wrong? The answer, of course, is plenty: crumbling plaster, ruined antique laths, mismatched art hung too-close together, or a poorly-mounted photograph warping in its frame. But beyond the technical mishaps, there is a more essential lesson to be learned: The skill and consideration with which you decorate your home makes an aesthetic statement about the world you inhabit-and more importantly, when it's done right, it very clearly looks a whole lot better. Slim and stylish, How to Hang a Picture: And Other Essential Lessons for a Stylish Home is a user-friendly guidebook that details everything you need to know about hanging, framing, decorating and displaying art. If Strunk & White's Elements of Style was crossed with a no-nonsense how-to manual, you will have captured the tone and immediacy of How to Hang a Picture: simple rules and essential information presented with charm and intelligence.
This book provides an engineer’s perspective on the traditional construction methods for timber frames with infills, focusing on traditional paianta houses in Romania and minka houses in Japan to provide insights into the construction, seismic behavior, and design considerations of such structures. The nuances of each country’s traditional construction methods are considered, as well as the shared seismic culture and the similar functionality and local materials used for the houses, plus challenges from earthquake loading and fire. The efforts to preserve traditional houses in Romania are contrasted with Japan’s regulatory framework for traditional residential construction methods. Strengthening solutions are also proposed for timberframed houses with infills, considering various causes of degradation. • Introduces examples from non- seismic and seismic- prone countries. • Provides a comparative analysis of worldwide examples. • Presents design examples illustrating the integration of traditional architecture with modern design standards. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the engineering intricacies of traditional houses in Romania and Japan for engineers and architects, with practical applications for new constructions worldwide.
