Η παγκόσμια κατάσταση λόγω της έξαρσης του κορωνοϊού αναμφισβήτητα έχει αλλάξει σημαντικά τον τρόπο ζωής μας τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες και εύλογα έχουν επιβληθεί μέτρα για την προστασία όλων μας. Όχι τόσο εύλογα όμως έχουν περιορισθεί και οι εργασίες των μηχανικών, πιθανή απόρροια μίας γενικής ανησυχίας των πολιτών που φοβούνται για το οικονομικό τους μέλλον σε συνδυασμό με τα μέτρα που έχουν επιβληθεί λόγω καραντίνας.

Με την έτσι κι αλλιώς καθυστερημένη συγκρότηση των Συμβουλίων και την εκ περιτροπής πλέον εργασία στις πολεοδομίες το έργο των μηχανικών δυσχεραίνεται σημαντικά. Η ολοκλήρωση αν όχι και η έναρξη μιας τακτοποίησης μετατρέπεται σε μία αρκετά χρονοβόρα διαδικασία όπου ο χρόνος που απομένει μέχρι την εκπνοή της προθεσμίας της 30ης Ιουνίου φαντάζει ανεπαρκής ακόμα και εάν δινόταν η εντολή σήμερα. Με αυτό ως δεδομένο το Υπουργείο Περιβάλλοντος και Ενέργειας δεν έχει κάνει κάποια επίσημη αναφορά για παράταση των προθεσμιών αν και πριν λίγες μέρες πέρασε με κατεπείγουσα διάταξη λόγω της πανδημίας με Π.Ν.Π. παράταση σε άλλα πολεοδομικά ζητήματα. Ειδικότερα οι παρατάσεις αφορούν στην ισχύ Οικοδομικών αδειών, Προεγκρίσεων Οικοδομικών αδειών και Εγκρίσεων Εργασιών μικρής Κλίμακας, στην υποβολή δικαιολογητικών για τις δηλώσεις των Ν. 4014/2011, Ν. 4178/2013 και Ν. 4495/2017 κ.λπ.

Design and Construction of vacation residence in Kelfalonia Island. 

Design and construction of 8-floor apartments block.

Area: Vironas - Athens

6-Floor Apartments Block Construction in Athens, Greece.

Number of Apartments: 11.

The project concerns the renovation of an apartment in Neo Iraklio. The main goals of the renovation have been the aesthetic upgrading of the house and the unification of the spaces in such a way that the inertial spaces of the earlier layout are put to functional use. The kitchen was remodeled and integrated with the living room, while extending to the entrance hall. The natural light coming from the living room openings covers most areas, greatly enhancing the user experience.

The minimal aesthetics of the house are dominated by clean lines and colors. White and gray predominate not only in masonry but also in the kitchen. The materials, such as the cement in the bathroom and the look of wood flooring throughout the house create a cozy yet modern atmosphere. The hidden lighting in the living room, in the hallway and in the bedrooms gives a dynamic and multiplies the sources of light, thus enhancing the quality of artificial lighting.

Abstract. In this study, a review is carried out on the advanced use of image analysis and structural monitoring techniques to a series of physical model tests performed at a one degree of freedom force generator. Several scaled slope models with a variety of specific characteristics have been built and tested, aiming to the investigation of real-time measuring systems and in order to examine the behaviour of the geotechnical constructions when subjected to seismic loading. More specifically the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique and the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) analysis have been applied on the side face of scaled slope models in order to capture failure mechanisms during seismic loading. Furthermore, optical fibre sensors, recording strain, have been incorporated in the slope models and an accelerometer has been used for the recording of the seismic vibration. The monitoring scheme is presented, the test set up and model making procedure as well as indicative recordings via the utilized techniques. The wide range of applications and the combination of image analysis with other measuring techniques in order to provide comprehensive results about the behavior of the actual geotechnical models is presented. The physical model tests presented in the current study have also high educational interest.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the behaviour of scaled geotechnical models subjected to seismic loading. Several slope models were built and tested at the APS 400 Electro-Seis force generator, with a variety of specific characteristics and in particular (a) dry or semi-submerged, (b) with steep or minor slope inclination, (c) unreinforced or incorporating soil reinforcement, and (d) incorporating a pipe, aiming to simulate a scaled pipeline. The monitoring tools / methods utilized were (a) optical fibre sensors, aiming to strain recordings inside the slope models (b) the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique, in order to capture the failure mechanisms, and (c) accelerometer for the recording of the acceleration levels imposed.
