Brenner 2020 – Ntano – Audio 3
No full textMontage by Klaus-Peter Brenner of two audio tracks: (1) Malaŵian Sena ntano polyphonic multi-part singing. Track B3 from Gerhard Kubik and Moya Aliya Malamusi (1989), Südliches Malaŵi. Musiker aus Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musiker-Komponisten. / Southern Malaŵi: Musicians from Malaŵi. “Opeka nyimbo” Musician-composers. Berlin: Musikethnologische Abteilung, Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz. MC 15. Double LP. (2) Excerpt of the Shona mbira dzavadzimu piece “Nhemamusasa”, kushaura and kutsinhira parts both played by the author; one harmonic cycle extracted, looped and tempo digitally increased according to the original tempo of recording (1). Excerpts of both tracks are looped and digitally superimposed in order to demonstrate their remarkable degree of structural congruence. Discussion of the montage in Klaus-Peter Brenner (2020), “A Grammatical Merger of Heterogeneous Musical Structures: The Vocal Polyphony Ntano of the Sena of Southern Malaŵi.” In Understanding Musics: Festschrift on the Occasion of Gerd Grupe\u27s 65th Birthday, ed. Malik Sharif and Kendra Stepputat, 125–151. Düren: Shaker

The Brenner Base tunnel: Geological issues from the exploratory tunnel to the final design
No full textThis paper deals with the geological issues involved in the Brenner Base Tunnel Project, which crosses one of the main tectonic alignments of the alpine area, namely the Periadriatic Fault. The paper first describes the tunnel system, the geological setting in which it develops, and the related excavation support and monitoring systems. Then, the geological and geotechnical investigations are described, pointing out the differences in the results obtained from the different scales of investigations: from laboratory tests, to drillings and ending with the exploratory tunnel. All these data are discussed in order to define the ground-tunnel conceptual model, afterwards modelled with a 3D finite element numerical code. Finally, numerical results and monitoring data are discussed especially with regard to the scale effect, showing that for the Brenner Base Tunnel the amplifications of the studied phenomena (deformations, instabilities, water inflows, etc.) due to the enlargement are smaller than expected. Such a result is quite different compared to the evidence obtained in previous studies on the scale effect in other tunnels. It may be justified by the high compressive strength acting along the Periadriatic fault, which brings about high levels of confinement stress

No full textThorough guide to the people, places, events, and allusions mentioned in Hemingway’s posthumously published Parisian memoir. Brenner identifies, defines, explicates, and interprets each entry, bringing to bear his extensive biographical, historical, and cultural knowledge of the author and era. Brenner’s introduction examines the volume’s composition, controversial editing, publication, and critical reception
Geomechanical characterisation of fault rocks in tunnelling: The Brenner Base Tunnel (Northern Italy)
No full textThe goal of this study is to characterise the rock faults involved in the excavation works of the Brenner
Base Tunnel, which crosses one of the main tectonic alignments of the alpine area, the Periadriatic fault.
The characterisation was carried out at different scales from macro (through drillings and geomechanical
surveys) to meso (lab tests on specimens) and micro-scale (through thin sections), in order to find a correlation
between the different scales properties of the rock masses. Finally, a relation between the voids
ratio at the micro-scale and the fault rocks conditions at the meso and macro-scale was pointed out. As a
result, by means of the Hoek–Brown method, an estimation of the fault rock strength was achieved, tending
to avoid quite a typical overestimation arising from the use of literature values
