Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

TRM‐to‐concrete interface bond without anchors: Combined experimental, analytical, and numerical modeling approach

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

Hysteresis Behavior of RC Beam–Column Joints of Existing Substandard RC Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading–Experimental and Analytical Investigation

open access: yesBuildings
Four exterior reinforced concrete beam–column joint subassemblages with poor reinforcement details and low-quality materials were constructed and subjected to cyclic lateral deformations under constant axial loading of the columns.

Assessing external threats to structures using limited statistical data: An approach based on data resampling

open access: yesTechnological and Economic Development of Economy, 2007
The paper deals with an estimation of risk to structures posed by extreme, dangerous phenomena called in brief the external threats. It is considered how to calculate risk values when a limited amount of data on actions imposed by these phenomena is ...

The Impact of a Pre‐Existing Defect on Liability for Property Damage: Taylor v Jones

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Taylor v Jones involved liability for causing damage to a building that had a pre‐existing defect. The defendant was in principle liable for the cost of repairing the damage. However, the Court of Appeal denied liability for the cost of repairing the pre‐existing defect even though such repair was necessary to restore the building to the state it would

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR URBAN COMMONING: The Making of the Liberated Spaces in Naples

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Commoning requires repair. Where capitalist logics of accumulation, enclosure and exclusion produce abandoned space through the city, urban commoners remake that space to serve the needs of inhabitants. Without hiding the paradoxes and risks of repair, based on years‐long ethnography in the Liberated Spaces in Naples, Italy, we demonstrate how
