RC column strengthening by lateral pre-tensioning of FRP [PDF]

, 2003
This paper presents a unique strengthening technique for existing concrete columns that use expansive materials to apply lateral pre-tensioning. The technique increases the capacity and ductility of a column as well as achieving better utilisation of the

Confined Masonry – Analysis, Design and Comparison

Kalpa Publications in Civil Engineering, 2018
Considering the present scenario, it is observed that the response of the unreinforced masonry building during the earthquake conditions have resulted into significant damages in buildings and subsequent life loss. The conventional method of masonry construction adopted so far utilizes the same construction material as in confined masonry, however the ...

Retrofitting of Confined Brick Masonry with FRP

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2021
Abstract: Brick masonry structures are commonly used in world because of its simplicity and economy. However, it is susceptible to failure in earthquakes because of the bricks weak interlocking bonds and brick masonry structures designed mainly against gravity load demand.

Measuring Beyond the Standard: Informal Measurement Systems as Cognitive Technologies

Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 204-219, January 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the role of measurement as a cognitive technology across human history, emphasizing the coexistence of formal and informal measurement systems. While standardized systems dominate contemporary culture and are well documented across large‐scale societies of the past, this manuscript highlights the less explored domain of ...

Out-of-Plane Design Equations for Confined Masonry Walls

Buildings
Nowadays there is still a lack of requirements for the out-of-plane design of confined masonry walls. Current code requirements are mainly based on the in-plane behavior of those walls. This research is divided into two parts.

Optimization of Stone Cutting Techniques for the Seismic Protection of Archaeological Sites [PDF]

, 2011
Since the beginning of civilization, history tells of the movement of art pieces, monuments and manufacts from site to site. The causes are multiple: the displacements due to the "spoils of war", ordered by kings and emperors, the movements caused by the

Crack-Based Estimation of Seismic Damage Level in Confined Masonry Walls in the Lima Metropolitan Area Using Deep Learning Techniques

Applied Sciences
Damage assessment methods fall into contact and non-contact approaches. Contact methods, like physical measurements, material sampling, and ultrasonic testing, provide detailed data but are time-consuming and require specialized equipment.

Structural and pathological monitoring methodology for homes affected by landslides

Tecnura, 2017
Context: In the last sixty years urbanization processes have increased considerably. In many of them, the number of inhabitants of the so-called "slums" amounts to more than 50% of the population.
