MSC Data-Warehouse: a new tool for data storage and elaborations on masonry strengthening with composite materials. Now open freely for contribution!
https://contribution.rilem.isqweb.it/
The 223-MSC Rilem Technical Committee started its work on 2007, aimed firstly at sharing and systematizing the current knowledge on the structural behaviour of masonry structures and components strengthened with composite materials, in order to highlight needs and lacks in the field, to direct further research developments.
As first result of this phase, a data-warehouse (DWH) has been recently produced. It is able to store data related to single structural components (walls/panels, arches/vaults/domes, columns/pillars) or whole constructions, as well as to focus on specific problems, as bond, durability and NDT applications, or to include the main description of interventions on cases study. Experimental works are mainly considered, but sections concerning analytical or numerical evaluations are also provided. Data on materials, researches and results are easily exportable in common formats (Excel, Acrobat) and processed for direct comparisons, by means of charts and diagrams, in order to permit a quick evaluation of the current state of knowledge, and to evidence possible topics to integrate with researches in the field.
This tool has been tested by TC members (now about 40 people) and it is now open freely to contribution from experts through the web site:

Technical Day Programme in Haifa, 10 September, 2009
Dear participant at the Technical day of the 63rd RILEM week in Haifa,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to an interesting "technical day" of the RILEM week. You will be updated about the frontiers of research within various materials - concrete, asphalt and wood - and you will have the possibility to interact with engaged and well-informed researchers from far away. This forum is RILEM in a nutshell. Please enjoy.
Ole Mejlhede Jensen, chairman of the RILEM Technical Activities Committee
