RC Beams strengthened with HPFRCC: Experimental and numerical results

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2016
The study analyses the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with high-performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC). Six beams were divided into two equal groups and strengthened.

Brick and Concrete Masonry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1960
Describes the various materials used in brick and concrete masonry construction: some of the more common masonry systems, and the details that go into making rna onry walls strong durable and weather ...

Analysis of stray current induced by cathodic protection on steel-framed masonry structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cathodic protection (CP) has been successfully employed to protect steel-framed masonry buildings from corrosion related damage. When a CP system is installed to protect the structural members, other metallic items which are within the fabric of the ...

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Numerical modelling of in-plane behaviour of adobe walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Some tests for material characterization of adobe blocks and adobe masonry have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the world. However, the number of tests is quite limited in comparison with those carried out with other structural ...

Finite-discrete element modelling of masonry infill walls subjected to out-of-plane loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach.

An Experimental Study on the Effect of Water on Historic Brickwork Masonry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Architectural heritage is deeply threatened by extreme weather events due to ongoing climatic change. Since these phenomena are becoming more and more serious, their effects cannot be neglected when a reliable assessment of a historic masonry structure ...

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...
