In this paper, the influence of cement and some selected admixtures: redispersible polymer powder, airentraining and hydrophobing agents, on the hydrophobicity of cured renovation plaster was analysed. The results were obtained experimentally. The result of capillary action (H) over a given period of time was used to evaluate the hydrophobicity of these materials. Statistical methods based on m...

China has entered a new era of high-quality urban development. As an important stock resource in the city, old industrial parks face situations transformation and regeneration due to various problems such as chaotic land layout, low efficiency, lack supporting facilities. However, existing research primarily focuses on case studies large cities rural areas, lacking fine-tuned adjustment plans f...

In the past three decades, Chinese economy has been arresting the worldwide attention for its doubledigit growth rate. Playing a leading part in general economic development, Chinese manufacturing has been contributing a substantial portion in the total GDP growth. However, a national key project, the Research of China National Manufacturing Strategy, has found in the last several years that Ch...

Property asset management is keenly influenced by the market rental price for the services and asset quality. Renovation is conceived as a form of redevelopment that returns the property back to its pristine state after experiencing quality deterioration. We formulate a two-factor renovation model under rental price and quality uncertainty and a fixed investment cost. The renovation policy is d...

Good rehearsal facilities for musicians are essential. Directive 2003/10/EC necessitates that musicians are protected from noise exposure. A code of conduct gives the guidelines how this should be done. This study examines room acoustics recommendations provided by the Finnish code of conduct, and discusses whether they are adequate. Small teaching facilities were measured after renovation and ...

We extend Borovkov’s renovation theory to obtain criteria for coupling-convergence of stochastic processes that do not necessarily obey stochastic recursions. The results are applied to an “infinite bin model”, a particular system that is an abstraction of a stochastic ordered graph, i.e., a graph on the integers that has (i, j), i < j, as an edge, with probability p, independently from edge to...

The paper discusses the meaning and nature of urban cultural heritage, and the available methods for its valuation in the perspective of sustainable city development. From this perspective, decision-making problems of renovation often involve a complex decision-making process in which multiple requirements and conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. In project development...

This study examines characteristics of atmospheric methylsiloxane pollution in indoor settings where interior renovation/redecoration is being undertaken, in addition to ordinary family homes and inside family cars. Concentrations of atmospheric methylsiloxane in these locations were approximately one order of magnitude higher than that in outdoor areas. The average indoor concentration of meth...
