Printed by Clarke & Way, Inc., in New York. The Architectural League of New York, a national organization, was founded in 1881 "to quicken and encourage the development of the art of architecture, the arts and crafts, and to unite in fellowship the practitioners of these arts and crafts, to the end that ever-improving leadership may be developed for the nation's service." Since then it has held sixtv notable National Gold Medal Exhibitions that have symbolized achievement in the building arts. The creative work of designers throughout the country has been shown and the high qual- ity of their work, together with the unique character of The League's membership, composed of architects, engineers, muralists, sculptors, landscape architects, interior designers, craftsmen and other practi- tioners of the building arts, have made these exhibitions events of outstanding importance. The League is privileged to collaborate on The i960 National Gold Medal Exhibition of The Building Arts with The American Crafts- men's Council, the only non-profit national organization working for the benefit of the handcrafts through exhibitions, conferences, pro- duction and marketing, education and research, publications and information services. -

Structural Health Monitoring of Artemio Franchi Stadium In
Structural health monitoring of “Artemio Franchi” Stadium in Florence, Italy: measurement using interferometric radar Lapo MICCINESI 1, Massimiliano PIERACCINI 1, Gloria TERENZI 2, Iacopo COSTOLI 3, Paolo SPINELLI 2, Giulia MAZZIERI 2 1 Department of Information Engineering, University of Florence, Florence, Italy http://www.ndt.net/?id=24901 2 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Florence, Florence, Italy 3 Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Udine, Udine, Italy Contact e-mail: [email protected] More info about this article: ABSTRACT: The “Artemio Franchi” Stadium in Florence, Italy, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi in 1929, was built from 1930 to 1932. The stadium has a reinforced concrete structure and it is composed by 24 stands, a 50-meter tower (“Maratona” tower) and a cantilever roof. In occasion of the World Cup in 1990 the stadium was renovated by adding seats at the ground level as retrofit. A study for seismic requalification is in progress and an interferometric radar was used for monitoring the architectural complex. In particular, the radar monitored the “Maratona” tower and some stands. In this paper, the preliminary results of this measurement campaign are reported. The wind action was exploited to test the “Maratona” tower and the measurement was performed both with an interferometric radar and a seismic accelerometer. Natural frequencies measured with both instruments substantially match. The stands are too rigid to be appreciably excited by wind or vehicular traffic, hence the measurements were performed during football matches. The supporters’ movements were used as input action to measure the dynamic properties of stands. -

Equilibrium systems Studies in Masonry Structure by Philippe Block Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 19, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Architecture Studies. ABSTRACT This thesis presents new interactive computational analysis tools for masonry structures based on limit state analysis. Thrust lines are used to clearly visualize the forces within the masonry and to predict possible collapse modes. The models are interactive and parametric to explore the relation between the different geometrical parameters and the possible equilibrium conditions.
