Strengthening of brick infilled RC frames with different aspect ratios by means of CFRP overlays
Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2012 Post earthquake field investigations reveal that frames with inferior detailing are vulnerable to seismic actions. The presence of a large building stock in Turkey, which is vulnerable to an imminent earthquake, entails fast, relatively easy, and ...

Seismic Assessment of Non-conforming Infilled RC Buildings Using IDA Procedures
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 The seismic performance of existing non-conforming reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is numerically investigated, taking into account the presence of clay brick masonry infill walls.

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls [PDF]
, 2011 This work presents a brief review on the seismic behavior on non-loadbearing masonry walls used as masonry infills. O Some examples of inefficient performance are shown based on information available of recent earthquakes.

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

BuildingsInfilled walls and frames typically employ closely spaced rigid connection, which, under seismic actions, can lead to adverse effects such as amplified seismic responses, overall torsion, and the formation of weak layers in the structure.

Seismic Resilience Enhancement of a Typical Infilled RC Frame Residential Building with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Material: A Case Study in Kabul City, Afghanistan [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil EngineeringSeismic assessment and retrofitting of existing non-engineered buildings in Afghanistan remain significant challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in retrofitting of a typical infilled reinforced concrete (RC)

Bothy busi/yness: Recirculating representation and practice in the Scottish landscape
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Abstract This paper uses the ‘busi/yness’ of Scottish mountain bothies to explore the agency of representation and its entanglement with practice. In doing so it asks, firstly, what are the material and discursive impacts of a rise in the symbolic value of an object (or in this case a building)?

Behavior of masonry infill panels in RC frames subjected to in plane and out of plane loads [PDF]
, 2011 The building envelope in Europe is usually made of masonry walls, with enclosure and infill functions. Masonry walls have a major economical importance and contribute significantly to the building performance.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian
