Information Modeling Procedure to Represent a Territory Affected by Earthquake by Tommaso Empler

“… ARIM (Assessment Reconstruction Information Modeling) procedure can be seen as the evolution and integration of the BIM systems used so far to monitor and document the transformations of the territory, such as HBIM, GeoBIM, LIM and SeismicBIM, representing at the same time their natural evolution for the management of prevention and reconstruction connected to natural disasters. The application of the procedure is described on the case study of a building aggregate of Grisciano, a borough of the Municipality of Accumoli, describing the steps that constitute the part of the design/reconstruction of the BIM procedure, consisting of: cognitive framework, distinguished in ‘direct knowledge’ and ‘deferred knowledge’; processing of the data collected; framework of the ARIM procedure, which provides a sub-articulation in data acquisition and their synthesis, finally the construction of the synthetic and informed 3D model. …”

Design and characteristic analysis of fiber optic Fabry-Perot sensor for static ice strain monitoring by Mengxing HUANG, Yuhang LI, Guanjun WANG, Jianxun LIU, Lu YAN, Longjuan WANG

“…Sea ice is one of the important natural disasters.A new method based on optical fiber Fabry-Perot sensor for ice strain measurement was proposed to meet the needs of ice strain monitoring.A high sensitivity optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor with thin-film structure was realized by means of pressure assisted arc discharge method,and the sensor was encapsulated by metal tube /PDMS /AB epoxy glue combination method.On this basis,the static internal strain characteristics of ice in the process of melting and freezing during -15℃～0℃ was studied.Experimental results show that this proposed thin-film fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor has good sensitivity characteristic in ice strain monitoring,it is believed of great value for the monitoring of remote distributed sea samples.…”
