heritage and climate change: urban and architectural perspective for “floodscape” in quang tri province

Sommario Il Vietnam è tra i cinque paesi principalmente interessati dal cambiamento climatico. Secondo il report EM-DAT (the Emergency Events Database), si deve a disastri naturali un danno pari a $2,600 billion nell'ultimo ventennio (1994-2013). Alle sole alluvioni si imputa il 47In futuro il cambiamento climatico causerà l'aumento delle temperature della superficie terrestre, il regime di caduta delle pioggie con la crescita di eventi meteorologici estremi, con l'aumnto del livello del mare, il rischio di alluvioni e i relativi impatti sulla popolazione e sui territori. Parallelamente a ciò il patrimonio culturale materiale e immateriale frutto di un lungo processo di sviluppo umano, rappresenta i valori culturali e storici del paese ma non è sufficientemente resiliente per adattarsi alle conseguenze del cambiamento climatico, che ogni anno colpiscono il patrimonio. Le conseguenze di ciò si sono sovrapposte, danneggiando e distruggendo parzialmente e, in taluni casi totalmente, il patrimonio. Affrontare questo quadro ambientale e climatico senza soluzioni di adattamento, porterà alla perdita di detto patrimonio e sebbene il Vietnam non sia soggetto a terremoti o eruzioni vulcaniche, esso è ampiamente soggetto a disastri dovuti a fattori climatici, quali alluvioni, tsunami, uragani e siccità. La presente ricerca studia la relazione tra il cambiamento climatico e il patrimonio, l'impatto delle alluvioni sui monumenti e intende proporre una carta del rischio per il sistema del patrimonio di Quang Tri Province. La mappa ha mostrato che l'87,5 Soluzioni per contrastare e adeguarsi al cambiamento climatico sono state studiate e proposte, al fine di contenere il rischio alla scala della pianificazione territoriale, urbana e nella progettazione architettonica. In particolare il metodo di lavoro prevede tre fasi riferibili a momenti diversi alluvionali: direction, storage and absorption. Sebbene queste non siano definitive ed uniche, l'adattamento richiede tempi di sperimentazione e selezione per individuare le migliori scelte per applicazioni pratiche; inoltre, la ricerca non pone solo le basi per la conservazione del patrimonio, ma anche indirizzi a lungo termine per la progettazione urbana ed architettonica secondo le direttive dello sviluppo sostenibile.Abstract Vietnam is one of the five countries likely to be most affected by climate change. According to the report of EM-DAT (the Emergency Events Database), an estimated damage of$2,600 billion was caused by natural disasters damaged in the last twenty years (1994-2013). Flood alone accounted for 47% of all weather disasters, affecting 2.3 billion people (the majority of whom (95%) live in Asia). In Vietnam, about 649 natural disasters occurred in the last ten years (2005-2014), including flood, flash flood, hail, storm, cyclone and landslide. Total damage was estimated at approximately 1.5% GDP per year. There were 160 floods and flash floods occurred at that time and accounted for 58% of the total damage. In the future, climate change has increased the average surface temperature, changing the average rainfall, increasing frequency of extreme weather events and especially the rising of sea level that will increase flood risks and negative impacts of flooding to people and properties. Meanwhile, heritage is the quintessence of a long process of development by humans. The heritages that characterize the values of culture and history of each nation, country or region; but it does not have the ability to adapt to changes in the weather or disasters of climate change. The changes in the weather and disasters happen every year and they directly affect the heritage. Consequences have been cumulative and results are that some of heritages have been corroded, several heritages have been destroyed a part and a few heritages have been totally damaged. Facing that situation, if there are no adaptive solutions to adapt to the disasters of climate change, the heritages will be gradually lost. Although Vietnam does not have more disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, country has influenced heavily by disasters related to water factors, such as flood, tsunami, hurricane or drought. This research is the study of the relationship between climate change and heritage, impacts of flooding on heritage and building the map of flood risk for heritage system in Quang Tri Province. The map showed that 87.5% of the heritages are located in flood risk area (189 in 216 heritages) and 4.2% of the heritages are located in high and very high-risk level. Solutions to response and adaptation to climate change for the heritages have been studied and proposed. Characteristic of flooding is usually happening on a large scale and keeping in 2 or 3 days. Therefore, to reduce flood risks for heritage, the solutions were developed based on spatial planning, urban planning, urban design and architecture design for heritage, corresponding to three steps: direction, storage and absorption. Although the solutions are not mostly complete, the adaptation requires time to application and filter in order to select the most effective solutions for practical application. In addition, the research is not only a basis for conservation but also a long-term orientation for design and urban planning toward sustainable development

Exploration and Implementation of Neural Ordinary Differential Equations

Neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) have recently emerged as a novel ap- proach to deep learning, leveraging the knowledge of two previously separate domains, neural networks and differential equations. In this paper, we first examine the back- ground and lay the foundation for traditional artificial neural networks. We then present neural ODEs from a rigorous mathematical perspective, and explore their advantages and trade-offs compared to traditional neural nets

A METHOD OF REAL-TIME NURBS INTERPOLATION WITH CONFINED CHORD ERROR FOR CNC SYSTEMS

This paper presents a method of real-time CNC interpolation for free-form NURBS curves. The interpolation algorithm is based on second order Taylor’s expansion with the principle part being a formula for updating the parametric value u after each sampling period. With the updated value of u, a new interpolated point is calculated based on the DeBoor’s algorithm. In this paper, an efficient method of limiting chord error introduced by the interpolation algorithm is also presented with the basic idea of reducing machining feedrate at positions with a radius of curvature smaller than a critical value

On a Nonlinear Wave Equation of Kirchhoff-Carrier Type: Linear Approximation and Asymptotic Expansion of Solution in a Small Parameter

We consider the Robin-Dirichlet problem for a nonlinear wave equation of Kirchhoff-Carrier type. Using the Faedo-Galerkin method and the linearization method for nonlinear terms, the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution are proved. An asymptotic expansion of high order in a small parameter of a weak solution is also discussed

On a system of nonlinear wave equations with the Kirchhoff-Carrier and Balakrishnan-Taylor terms

summary:We study a system of nonlinear wave equations of the Kirchhoff-Carrier type containing a variant of the Balakrishnan-Taylor damping in nonlinear terms. By the linearization method together with the Faedo-Galerkin method, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. On the other hand, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, a sufficient condition is also established to obtain the exponential decay of weak solutions

On the loop expansion of the effective action

Based on the DeWitt formula the loop expansion of the effective action is easily established. Extending to the system with finite density we develop the in-medium DeWitt formula, which is the starting point for setting up loop expansion of the in-medium effective action

Potential Usage of Rice Husk Ash-Cement Based Soil in Subbase and Base Courses in Road Construction

This paper presents an experimental study of rice husk ash-cement-based soil for layers in roadway construction. Rice husk ash (RHA) used in this study is a by-product of rice milling. In this work, twelve proportion mixes were used in this work with varying quantities of RHA (0-30%) and Portland cement blended amounts of 4, 6, 8%. The specimens were prepared by the Proctor mould method, conditioned at room temperature, and tested in soaked and unsoaked conditions. Specified curing periods of 7, 14, 28 days were applied for all types of specimens. Some engineering tests were carried out such as proctor compaction, unconfined compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and the stiffness of stabilized soil. Test results indicated a general decrease in the maximum dry density (MDD) and increased optimum moisture content (OMC) with an increase in RHA content. Adding cement and RHA significantly improved the geotechnical properties of stabilized soils, including compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus. In addition, the combination of 80% soil and 20% RHA and 6% cement can be used as the optimum proportion which satisfied the grade 3 of soils stabilized with inorganic adhesive substances, chemical agents, or reinforced soil for road construction, as indicated in the current Vietnamese standard
