Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Axial behaviors of confined and unconfined brick masonry pillars
Frontiers in Built EnvironmentBricks are globally used in both load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures. In the rural areas of many countries, economic constraints are the primary reason for adopting brick masonry in load-bearing structures.

Infrastructures, 2021 The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with two types of brick infills viz., unreinforced brick masonry infill (URM) and semi-interlocked brick masonry infill (SIM) together with lintel ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Non-Destructive Testing and Analysis of a XIX-Century Brick Masonry Building [PDF]
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2020 The article presents the results of non-destructive testing and analyses carried out for a brick masonry building from the 19th century, which has many irregularities that involve a lack of inspections and tests of its technical condition for many years,

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020 One of the main reasons for the lack of seismic capacity of existing historical masonry buildings in China is that the strength of the lime-clay mortar used in these buildings is insufficient.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...
