Quantitative assessment of post‐disaster housing recovery: a case study of Punta Gorda,Florida, after Hurricane Charley

Quantitative assessment of post‐disaster housing recovery is critical to enhancing understanding of the process and improving the decisions that shape it. Nevertheless, few comprehensive empirical evaluations of post‐disaster housing recovery have been conducted, and no standard measurement methods exist. This paper presents a quantitative assessment of housing recovery in Punta Gorda, Florida, United States, following Hurricane Charley of August 2004, including an overview of the phases of housing recovery, progression of recovery over time, alternative trajectories of recovery, differential recovery, incorporation of mitigation, and effect on property sales. The assessment is grounded in a conceptual framework that considers the recovery of both people and place, and that emphasises recovery as a process, not as an endpoint. Several data sources are integrated into the assessment—including building permits, remotely sensed imagery, and property appraiser data—and their strengths and limitations are discussed with a view to developing a standardised method for measuring and monitoring housing recovery.     

西南农村社区避难建筑的面积指标与配置策略研究

地震是西南地区面临的最严重和破坏性最强的灾害类型,在农村迫切需要安全可靠的社区避难建筑保障村民的生命安全.近年来国家高度重视避难建筑建设,要求提高室内避灾规模,而我国缺乏农村社区避难建筑设计的规范标准,既有研究也有所不足.因此,该文系统介绍了核定西南农村社区避难建筑面积指标的研究方法与技术依据.首先说明了避难建筑面积配...     

室内建筑装饰装修材料气味物质及其释放研究进展

室内建筑装饰装修材料释放的污染物可能导致气味,是消费者抱怨室内空气质量的主要原因.目前,针对室内建材气味污染物识别、定量及其释放规律的研究较少.本文总结了近年来室内气味物质的分析测定方法,梳理了已有研究中有关石膏、木质材料、油毡、地毯、塑料、橡胶、人造革、涂料和胶粘剂等9类建筑装饰装修材料释放的气味污染物的研究结果,列出了各类材料可能的致嗅物质及其嗅觉阈值,最后对加强室内气味污染研究和控制提出了建议.本研究发现,尽管不同建筑材料气味污染评价方法不统一,嗅觉测定法却是主要的评价方法.此外,虽然建筑材料释放的气味物质组成差异大,但建筑材料随时间老化和臭氧氧化时产生的气味物质主要为含氧基团的化合物,如醛、酮和酸等.     

马鞍山市住宅冬季能耗调查

对马鞍山市60户住宅冬季能耗进行了问卷调查,分析了住宅建筑、采暖设备等的内容与特点,统计了冬季电、天然气和水的消耗,得出马鞍山市住宅冬季能耗相关指标;并比较了马鞍山市与长沙、上海等城市住宅的能耗调查结果,比较结果表明：虽然马鞍山市冬季平均能耗比同气候地区的大城市低,但采暖电耗并不比大城市低。     

基于人工神经网络法的绿色建筑评价

以实际建筑物为例,介绍了用层次分析法建立绿色建筑评价模型的过程,并分别用层次分析法和人工神经网络法对实际建筑物进行了评价。评价结果显示,人工神经网络法与层次分析法相对误差不到0.5%,表明人工神经网络法作为一种客观科学的评价方法,应用于绿色建筑的评价,能有效降低主观因素带来的影响,会使结果更具有客观性。     

基于技术方案设计和运行管理分析的绿色建筑评价模型

建立了基于技术方案设计和运行管理状况综合分析的绿色建筑评价体系,并对其评价指标、评价方法、评分方式等内容进行了详细地论述。评价体系分为4层,包括1个目标、2个1级指标、9个2级指标和45个3级指标。与现有评价体系相比,在下述两方面有所创新：综合考虑了技术方案设计和运行管理状况两方面对建筑物绿色性能的体现;采用层次分析法和人工神经网络相结合的评价方法完成指标评分的合成,提高了评价结果的客观性。     

Quantitative assessment in safety reports of the consequences from the detonation of solid explosives

Safety reports are mandatory documents in member states of European Union whenever any threshold limits of amounts of either stored or processed hazardous substances are exceeded. After a short introduction to EU Seveso Directives on major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances and to the transposition and implementation by member states, with a brief comment on last 2012/18/EU Directive (also known as Seveso III directive), the paper focuses on drafting of safety reports for industrial activities involving solid explosives. Specifically, the quantitative assessment of consequences from detonation is tackled respect to the side-on overpressure and the debris production. Both direct and inverse problems are illustrated to determine respectively the overpressure value at a given distance, and the explosive amount that allows respecting the regulations. Their solution is based on either analytic or numerical techniques and being based on recent scientific publications on the matter either evaluates or zeroes nonlinear algebraic equations. The availability of these equations avoids grounding the consequences assessment on diagrams and nomograms that otherwise would lead to interpretation and usage errors besides avoiding the automatic solution of the inverse problem. The paper focuses also on details such as embankment, crater, munitions, rocket propellant, building structure, and wall material that, at different levels, play a role in the assessment of detonation consequences. A discussion on debris formation, the available literature, and the evaluation of the impact probability of fragments on both fixed and moving targets closes the paper.

Compromises of Bali Roadmap

Abstract

The Bali Roadmap, as the breakthrough on inter-governmental negotiation of climate change mitigation, having brought United States on track, is still a result of compromises. The major compromises of the Bali Roadmap are centered around three issues of quantifying emission reduction targets, developing countries’ obligations as well as quantifying developed countries’ financial assistance in developing countries’ capacity building on climate change. It is found that the rationalities behind these compromises are the national interests. Due to the fact, achieving cohesion among all nations in climate change actions is very difficult. Therefore, the Bali Roadmap may lead to a tough way with distant hope. However, technology innovation and well-designed economic instruments would be helpful and supportive for further international negotiation and cooperation.
