Influence line diagram for model arch bridgekunalsahu9883
The Lupu Bridge in Shanghai, China is a steel box section tied arch bridge with a main span of 550m, making it the largest arch bridge in the world when it was completed. A tied arch bridge design was used because the ground conditions on either side of the river were unsuitable for the large forces from a normal arch bridge. The bridge was analyzed using structural analysis software to determine member forces and deformations under load. The bridge is an impressive engineering feat that helped advance Chinese bridge engineering.
Chinese arch bridges, timber, stone, concrete, steel.David Collings
China has a long history of arch bridge construction in wood and stone. Traditional Chinese timber rainbow bridges still exist, using woven timbers for extra span. Open spandrel stone arch bridges developed in China, with some recent failures highlighting structural issues. Modern bridges use steel, concrete and composite materials. The world's longest arch spans are found in China, including the longest concrete arch and steel truss arch. Reinforced concrete bridges were pioneered using cantilever construction. More recently, concrete filled steel tube bridges have achieved very long spans efficiently and economically, representing a uniquely Chinese solution to arch bridge design.

Booosting (platform voor koplopers in bouwinnovatie) organiseerde een aantal workshops om deze uitdaging aan te gaan. Eén van de innovatieve uitkomsten van de workshops is: geen afval en meer CO2-reductie door verbetering isolatieglas. We halen bestaand isolatieglas uit elkaar en reinigen het. Daarna voegen we een specifieke folie toe en bouwen we het geheel op tot triple glas! Het is de bedoeling dat het gehele upgrade-proces mobiel kan plaatsvinden. Daarom willen we twee vrachtwagens ombouwen tot een werkplaats om het triple glas overal ter plekke te kunnen maken. Een enthousiast team heeft inmiddels een eerste succesvolle praktijkproef uitgevoerd en Booosting bestuurslid Rutger Snoek is hierover ook geïnterviewd. Kijk voor meer info ook op www.booosting.nl.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

28. Statement from these four case studies
Dynamic solutions
Are able to induce a reduction of building volume (and material use) by
approx. 40-50 %
This means that the budget for the remaining building volume roughly
could be doubled up, without loosing functionality
In the operation only half the volume will generate only about half of
the operational costs incl. energy.
On the other hand mechatronic technology will require extra
maintenance and energy.
All in all these thoughts are not unrealistic beforehand and
deserve further research
