Multi-scale analysis of masonry structures
, 2018 Masonry is one of the most famous and widely used heterogeneous composite material, largely employed in historic and architectural buildings. Among the different approaches proposed to study masonry structural behavior, multi-scale procedures are modern ...

Deep 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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Shear strengthening of masonry panels with GFRP: preliminary experimental results [PDF]
, 2000 This paper describes an experimental investigation of masonry strengthened withGFRP. Square masonry walls of clay or concrete bricks were built, and strengthenedusing sheet GFRP (applied by the wet lay-up method).

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

A multi-level interface model for damaged masonry [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of the present work is to propose a new micro-mechanical model in the context of the deductive approach used to derive interface models. This model, based on a previous study introduced previously by A. Rekik and F.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study on close coal seams shows that multi‐seam mining increases the height of the fractured zone from approximately 26 m (single upper‐seam mining) to about 49 m. When the lower seam is mined after the extraction of the upper seam, the heights of both the caved zone and the fractured zone increase by approximately two times.
