Hightlights of this open access article published in Building and Environment:

• Building stock models need to revise some of their assumptions on space heating.

• Weekends and weekdays are similar in their heating pattern and duration.

• Estimated heating demand temperature is slightly lower than the assumed 21 °C.

• Homes differ widely in their hours of heating and their demand temperature.

Dear all  

i have question that i woud like to know about principle of putting monetary value on human to rduce risk and the principle of weighting the importance of risk , moreover is there any conflic between these principle

Sixth International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis

6 – 9 July 2014, Lisbon, Portugal

I am trying to measure J - integral from experiment. " Let my initial fatigue crack length is 6mm, then i did single specimen unloading compliance test on it. The crack legth increased to 8mm" If i want to model the same geometry in FEA. Now my doubt is that "what carck length should i take 1) Initial fatigue crack = 6mm 2) final crack length  = 8 mm.................... Note: I need to model my CT specimen in FEA  to correct my experiments :-)
