This paper reports three aspects of an ongoing building archeology project at the MacPheadris-Warner House (ca. 1716–23) in Portsmouth, N.H., U.S.A. One is the use of a portable moisture meter to map rising damp levels and areas of water infiltration through brickwork. The second is the mapping of crack patterns and other defects on exterior elevations. We will also refer to a second site, the Juliette Gordon Low House in Savannah, Georgia, in discussing the problem of crack mapping. The third project is an ongoing attempt to replicate a shell lime mortar.

This paper presents a framework, aiming to develop the mass customization for textile and apparel industries in Thailand. The developed model as presented is the relationship of the connection pertaining to customers’ needs at industrial levels, most of which are Original Design Manufacturer (OEM), a type of textile and apparel business. The outstanding of OEM is the presentation of newly created designs to customers with a variety of products. Importantly, in order to gain such effective production management, an appropriate administrative system with high flexibility, efficient production (Small Lot Size), and punctual delivery is crucially required. In relation to the framework for mass customization development, it concerns three main related involvements: customers, OEM industries, and suppliers, all of which will be assessed so as to be promptly employed in such firms manufacturing products in accordance with the productive systems of mass customization *** conceptual from mass customization systems will facilitate the management in terms of the production designing in factories, aiming at clustering which is complex to the creation of platform from common parts, leading to the development of a variety of goods by the process of product family.

Social navigation provides drivers with an advice that aims to shift traffic flows in a network from a user equilibrium to a system optimum. The advice is based on minimizing a combination of the individual travel time and the marginal total travel time in the network. The level of altruism defines the extent to which a driver is willing to sacrifice his own travel time in favor of other drivers. Fuel consumption and CO2 emission are taking into account by converting them into time equivalent. Experimental results for a small network loosely representing the Bay area show that social navigation can reduce time delays by 10%. The reduction is positively correlated with network load, market penetration and level of altruism.

Seismic retrofitting with steel brace is widely-spread for the seismic retrofitting of existing RC buildings. However, there has been no study that tried to apply this seismic retrofit method to existing RC buildings with very low-strength concrete. In this research, we confirmed the effect of seismic retrofitting steel brace which used post-installed anchor together with epoxy resin for RC structures with low-strength concrete through the structural tests of two series. As the beginning, we confirmed the shear strength of the indirect connection in which existing RC frame is tied to frame of steel brace. Next, we confirmed the mechanical behavior of RC frame retrofitted with steel brace subjected to axial and horizontal loads. From the structural tests, it was shown that ultimate strength of the indirect connection and RC frame retrofitted with steel brace can be estimated by the current evaluation method. In addition, it made clear that ductility index F of RC frame retrofitted with steel brace can be 2.0.
