Technical Committee 46 «Information and Documentation» of the International Standard Organization (ISO/TC 46) is published. Even a short description of ISO/TC 46 activities visually demonstrates what incredible and truly revolutionary changes happened during the last 60 years in the library, documentation and information work. The modern ISO/TC 46 structure is given, the work trends of its four subcommittees and numerous working groups, the interaction with other ISO technical committees and international organizations is characterized. Importance of standardization problems in the field of library and information science and of librarianship, in particularly, is confirmed by the authors’ practical work lasting for many year. The proposed information permits to better imagine the preparation process of the international standards and necessity of Russian specialists’ participation.

Internal interfacial debonding (IID) phenomena on sandwich façade insulated panels are detected and tracked by acoustic emission (AE). The panels are made of a thin and lightweight cementitious composite skin. In the lab, the panels are tested under incremental bending simulating service loads (i.e., wind). Local (up to 150 mm wide) skin-core detachments are reported in the early loading stage (at 5% of ultimate load) and are extensively investigated in this study, since IID can detrimentally affect the long-term durability of the structural element. A sudden rise in the AE hits rate and a shift in the wave features (i.e., absolute energy, amplitude, rise time) trends indicate the debonding onset. AE source localization, validated by digital image correlation (DIC) principal strains and out-of-plane full-field displacement mapping, proves that early debonding occurs instantly and leads to the onset of cracks in the cementitious skin. At higher load levels, cracking is accompanied by local debonding phenomena, as proven by RA value increases and average frequency drops, a result that extends the state-of-the-art in the fracture assessment of concrete structures (Rilem Technical Committee 212-ACD). Point (LVDT) and full-field (AE/DIC) measurements highlight the need for a continuous and full-field monitoring methodology in order to pinpoint the debonded zones, with the DIC technique accurately reporting surface phenomena while AE offers in-volume damage tracking.
