Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2023 Damage caused by soils subject to change in volume beneath light structures, particularly low-cost housing units of masonry construction, is unacceptably frequent. It has led to the demolition of many such units within a small fraction of their design lifespan. Perhaps the most spectacular such failure is Lerato Park in Kimberley, where the development

On the Influence of Masonry Infills in Concrete Buildings [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 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. The effective standards in Portugal, and the ones that will be effective shortly, consider the possibility of a seismic action in all the territory, fact that has been ...
