On the influence of masonry infills in concrete buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The stresses induced in a structure by a seismic action have a low probability of occurrence and their magnitude is such that the structure is forced beyond the ultimate limit state.

Experimental study on earthquake-induced falling debris of exterior infill walls and its impact to pedestrian evacuation

open access: yes, 2020
Under the combined effects of in-plane deformation and out-of-plane acceleration during an earthquake, cracking occurs in the exterior infill walls of buildings causing debris to fall.

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Identifying Infill Wall Failures in Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes and Strategies for Performance Improvement

open access: yesDüzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi
Non-structural walls play a very important role in buildings, as they are used to create partitions and provide aesthetic appeal. However, their failures during earthquakes have been a recurring issue.

Cranial anatomy of a Late Cretaceous aspidorhynchid fish (Neopterygii: Aspidorhynchiformes) from Alberta, Canada

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Belonostomus longirostrisis was named for an isolated jaw fragment from freshwater Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) sediments of the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada. Following the description of the Albertan species, numerous isolated cranial and postcranial elements have been collected from the Dinosaur Park Formation and assigned to B.

Recent Findings and Open Issues concerning the Seismic Behaviour of Masonry Infill Walls in RC Buildings

open access: yes, 2020
The extension of the damages observed after the last major earthquakes shows that the seismic risk mitigation of infilled reinforced concrete structures is a paramount topic in seismic prone regions.

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Masonry enclosure walls: lessons learnt from the recent Abruzzo Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper approaches the issue of performance requirements and construction criteria for masonry enclosure and infill walls. Vertical building enclosures in European countries include, very often, non-loadbearing masonry walls, using horizontally ...
