NFPA 914 of Worship Code for Fire Protection of Historic Structures... 

There are two codes addressing buildings of particular interest NFPA 909 Code for the Protection of Cultural Resource Properties—Museums, Libraries, and Places of Worship126 and NFPA 914 (Code for Fire Protection of Historic Structures).127 NFPA 909 and NFPA 914 include definitions for various terms, which are important to understand what the codes intend ... 

Historic Preservation. A generic term that encompasses all aspects of the professional and public concern related to the maintenance of a historic structure, site, or element in its current condition, as originally constructed, or with the additions and alterations determined to have acquired signihcance over time. 

A five-meter-diameter turmel in a medium dense sand deposit will pass under several old historic structures. Surface settlements in the adjacent city streets must be kept under 20 millimeters. The tunnel axis is 10 meters below the surface and sodium silicate grout will be used. After considering creep and applying a safety factor, an allowable strength of 150kN/square meter was selected. Determine the required thickness of grouted zone to meet the settlement limits. 

The historic structure given to the diazonium salts was used in tlic above equation. Because the weight of evidence points to the fact that ionization occurs in aqueous solutions, it is now considered that their structure is akin to that of an ammonium salt as shown below ... 

The traditional bases of protein chemistry have been sequencing for primary structure analysis and x-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for three-dimensional structure determinations. It is clear that a complete understanding of biochemical processes and their regulation will depend on information at the atomic level. Historically, structure determination by x-ray diffraction and NMR, and the characterization of dynamic processes by NMR, have lagged behind the genetic and biochemical characterization of cellular processes. However, new advances in both of these methods promise to accelerate the rate of structure determination and to increase the size and complexity of systems that can be studied by magnetic resonance.

The shaking table testing of a large scale model of a historic monument presented herein is a unique example in world practice. The knowledge gained, therefore, is valuable and necessary for the seismic strengthening of important cultural-historic structures, particularly in cases where the effect of interventions upon the authenticity of the monument is considered a priority. 

With an experience of over 30 years in this field, the Institute has realized important scientific research projects involving experimental and analytical research, field surveys and application of earthquake protection knowledge to important cultural historic structures and monuments.

Six major mill buildings were purchased in 1970 and another six thereafter. The Cheshire Mills complex, the largest and most significant structure in the NHL, was purchased in 1999. The Cheshire Mills Complex Historic Structures Report completed in 2001, identified timber frame and roof failures at Mill No. 1 that required immediate attention. Masonry, sash, and carpentry needs were also identified and documented. 

The first paper of this publication, The Natural Cement Revival, appropriately begins with the story of the revival itself. Author Ken Uracius, a mason trained in traditional materials, relates his experiences in the course of his work on the restoration of Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island. He came to question the lime-based technology used for the restoration of this historic structure. So began his quest to rediscover the history, technology, materials, and processes used in the production of natural cement in the 19th...
